Where to buy persimmon soap in France

Where can you buy persimmon soap in France? We checked pharmacies, supermarkets and online shops in early October 2026. Here is what we found, how to choose a good bar and how to get ours delivered.

Persimmon soap in a few words

In Japan, persimmon (Diospyros kaki) tannins have been used for centuries, especially as kakishibu, a fermented juice of unripe persimmons used to dye and protect paper, fabric and fishing nets. Today these tannins are found in body soaps chosen to help wash away body odor, including the odor associated with nonenal. Read more in our complete persimmon soap guide and our article on kakishibu.

Pharmacies

We found no persimmon soap at Pharma GDD or at the other French online pharmacies we checked. We did not check high-street pharmacies, whose ranges vary: ask your pharmacist.

Supermarkets: Leclerc, Carrefour, Monoprix

We did not spot a persimmon soap on these retailers' websites. Leclerc searches mostly show khaki-colored soap dispensers and dishes; our online searches for Carrefour only turned up a khaki-colored soap dispenser; Monoprix's grocery site showed no results. Ranges vary from store to store and change over time. Tip: "kaki" is also a color in French, so add "japonais", "tanin de kaki" or "persimmon" when searching online.

Aroma-Zone and Nature & Découvertes

Aroma-Zone has an article about the persimmon fruit, but we did not spot a persimmon soap among its products. At Nature & Découvertes, our searches mostly turned up khaki-colored items and DIY soap kits. Ranges change, so check their site or store.

Buying online

On Amazon.fr, several persimmon soaps are offered by third-party sellers; sellers, prices and delivery times vary, and some listings do not clearly state the brand. Online shops specializing in Japanese products also offer persimmon tannin soaps shipped from Japan; check the total cost and delivery time before ordering.

How to choose a good persimmon soap

• Look for kaki extract, kaki tannin or Diospyros kaki in the ingredient list. A soap that is only khaki-colored or persimmon-scented does not necessarily contain any.
• A full ingredient list that the seller shows or can send you before you buy.
• An identifiable seller with contact details, a returns policy and shipping costs shown before payment.
• Reasonable promises: soap is a cosmetic that cleans the skin and helps wash away odor; it does not treat anything.
• The right format for you: see our body wash vs soap bar comparison.
• The price per bar and how long it lasts.

Frequently asked questions

Can I find persimmon soap in a pharmacy?

Not in the French online pharmacies we checked in early October 2026. Ask your pharmacist.

Is KAKIORA sold in shops?

No. KAKIORA is sold only online, on our own website, with home delivery in France.

How much is delivery to France?

How do I use persimmon soap?

Lather, wash, rinse. Use it instead of your usual soap or shower gel, especially on the chest, back, underarms and neck. It is made for everyday use, like any ordinary soap.

Is persimmon soap a medicine?

No. KAKIORA is a cosmetic, not a medicine, and is not intended to treat any skin or medical condition. It simply helps wash away body odor, including the odor linked to nonenal. If your skin is very sensitive, patch-test first and stop using it if irritation occurs.
