Our Mission
To restore confidence in aging men and support caregivers through natural hygiene solutions.
Japanese researchers had found that Persimmon Extract and Green Tea Oil could effectively reduce the odor caused by oil buildup around areas like the neck and ears. I partnered with product engineers to create a formula that was both affordable and effective. That’s how Grandpa Stinks Soap was born.
Determined to find a real solution, I started researching why elderly men have this distinct odor and how to eliminate it. Most products on the market only masked the smell without addressing the cause. That’s when I came across studies from Japan that introduced me to
Despite my best efforts, I couldn’t remove a persistent “old man” smell from his clothes, bedding, and especially his favorite recliner chair. The odor was so strong that it limited how close I could be to him and affected the time we spent together. Even in public — at the grocery store or at church — I began noticing the same smell coming from other elderly men. I found myself turning around to see who it was, and every single time, it was an older gentleman with the same scent. I called it what it was: "Old Man Stink".
As the oldest of three children, I became the primary caregiver for my father when he entered his early eighties. Like many aging parents, his wish was to remain in his own home. I took on the responsibility of cooking, cleaning, and caring for him daily to avoid placing him in assisted living.

Through extensive research and lab testing, we discovered that Japanese Persimmon is one of the few ingredients that can break down and eliminate Nonenal odor, even when regular bathing isn’t enough. However, not all Persimmon Extracts are the same. The one we use is:
Scientific studies have confirmed that body odor changes with age. The compound Nonenal is responsible for the distinct scent associated with aging and becomes more prominent over time. While this issue is widely recognized in Japan, it remains lesser known in other parts of the world.
