À propos de cet ingrédient
Fermented juice of astringent (shibu-gaki) persimmons, used in Japan for over 800 years as a natural preservative for paper (washi), wood, and cloth, and increasingly as a deodorising/antibacterial active in skincare, body care, and antimicrobial textiles. Kyoto, Wakayama, and Gifu host the historic kakishibu production tradition. The high condensed-tannin content (proanthocyanidin polymers) drives both colour (warm tan-brown) and the deodorising effect on volatile sulphur compounds — the basis of the modern body-care positioning.
