It still works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThey call it kakishibu, and it has been part of Japanese daily life since the Edo period: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e: used to waterproof paper, dye cloth, preserve wood, and, long before anyone marketed it as a cosmetic, to keep things from smelling. It is astringent, it is traditional, and in Japan it is simply what you reach for in summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePelican built a soap around it, with medicinal charcoal to lift the sebum and dead skin that odour actually feeds on, zinc to help keep things fresh, and three botanicals from the Asian herbal tradition: gambir, fennel and lemongrass. Two conditioning actives, isopropylmethylphenol and glycyrrhizinate, round it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe scent is orange and ginger over a base of natural orange oil. Warm, slightly spicy, and genuinely good company in a hot bathroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"5\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy You’ll Love It\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePersimmon tannin.
