Deodorant covers it up. Hana washes it off.
Most body odor starts with bacteria on your skin. Hana is a Japanese persimmon soap that washes it away at the source instead of covering it up. One bar, one minute, in the shower you already take.
From other parents
What parents say after the first fortnight
I started noticing a stronger smell when my son got home from school. I was looking for something simple to add to his shower routine, without making him feel embarrassed about growing up.
Laura B.Verified customer
My son is twelve and showers like it is a race. This is the one thing he uses properly, because there is nothing to it. One bar and he is done.
Rachel T.Verified customer
We talked about how everyone's body changes as they grow up and picked out some new shower essentials together. I wanted it to feel like a normal next step, not like something was wrong with her.
Nadia K.Verified customer
I want my son to learn how to take care of himself without me reminding him about every little thing. Keeping the routine simple is a big part of that.
Marcus D.Verified customer
She is eleven and already self conscious about everything. I did not want to hand her something that made it feel like a problem. This just looks like nice soap on the shelf.
Priya S.Verified customer
My daughter plays soccer, and we've been working on getting into a proper shower routine after practice. A bar she can keep with her shower things feels easy and familiar.

Binchotan charcoal
Draws oil and residue out of the pores during the wash.
Green tea extract
A second plant polyphenol, added for its clean finish on the skin.
Rice bran oil
Keeps the lather soft so daily use does not leave skin tight.
Camellia seed oil
The traditional Japanese skin oil, for moisture after rinsing.
Vegetable glycerin
Holds water in the skin so the bar does not dry you out.
