Pelican Medicated Persimmon Tannin Body Bar Soap 80g

Add to Wishlist

Pelican Family Medicated Persimmon Soap is an 80g Japanese body bar made for cleansing the skin and helping prevent body odor and sweat odor. Its active ingredient is isopropylmethylphenol (IPMP). Persimmon tannin and tea extract are included among the other ingredients.

The bar has a light citrus-herb fragrance and makes a creamy foam. This is the 80g Family Medicated bar, not Pelican’s separate 100g Aromatic Medicated Persimmon Soap; the two products have different formulas.

What it is for

  • Daily cleansing of sweat, sebum, and odor-prone areas
  • Body and sweat odor care using a medicated active ingredient
  • A solid-bar option for shoppers who prefer a lighter scent than a heavily fragranced body wash

How to use

Wet your skin and the bar with lukewarm water. Work up a generous lather in your hands or with a foaming net, wash gently without hard scrubbing, and rinse well. Let the bar dry between uses.

Ingredients

Active ingredient: Isopropylmethylphenol (IPMP).

Other ingredients: Soap base, purified water, persimmon tannin, tea extract, fragrance, concentrated glycerin, etidronic acid solution, tetrasodium etidronate solution, tetrasodium EDTA tetrahydrate, bentonite, trehalose, yellow iron oxide, ethanol, butylene glycol, sodium citrate, red iron oxide, glycine, and zinc sulfate.

Care and cautions

Do not use on wounds, swelling, eczema, or other irritated areas. Stop using it if redness, swelling, itching, or irritation appears. Rinse immediately if the lather gets into your eyes. Keep the bar away from extreme heat, direct sun, and small children.

Pelican Persimmon Soap FAQ

Practical details on use, ingredients, and daily care.

Does Pelican Persimmon Soap help with body odor?
Pelican markets this medicated body bar to cleanse the skin and help prevent body odor and sweat odor. IPMP is the active ingredient. Results vary, and a sudden or unexplained change in body odor should not be treated with soap alone.
Can I use Pelican Persimmon Soap every day?
It can be used as a daily body cleanser if your skin tolerates it. Wash gently, rinse well, and stop using it if redness, itching, swelling, or irritation appears.
How should I use the bar on odor-prone areas?
Wet the bar and your skin with lukewarm water, make a generous lather, and wash the underarms, neck, chest, back, feet, and other sweaty areas without hard scrubbing. Rinse thoroughly and let the bar dry.
What does Pelican Persimmon Soap smell like?
The manufacturer describes a citrus-herb fragrance. Japanese Select reviewers commonly describe the scent as soft or gentle, although scent is personal.
Is this the same as Pelican Aromatic Medicated Persimmon Soap?
No. This is the 80g Family Medicated bar with IPMP as its single listed active ingredient. Pelican’s 100g Aromatic Medicated bar is a different product with a different formula and two active ingredients.

Showering becomes a moment of relaxation with its creamy foam.

A wonderful soap, even for very sensitive skin. The scent is soft and gentle. Showering becomes a moment of relaxation with its creamy foam.
