Don't notice the difference? You get your money back.

Smell 30 again.

Somewhere after sixty, you start to carry a smell you can't wash off. Not sweat. Not dirt. Something that lives in your skin and follows you into the car.

Defiant is built to get rid of it, not perfume over it. Lather, rinse, done. What's left is skin that smells like nothing — which is exactly the point.

A dense, slow-wearing 5 oz bar for your face and body. It'll last you about six weeks.

Why your old soap doesn't work

Around forty, your skin starts producing more of a fatty acid that breaks down into a compound called 2-nonenal. That's the thing people mean when they say someone "smells old." Nobody tells you, but everybody notices.

It isn't sweat and it isn't dirt. It's an oil, so water and ordinary soap don't lift it. Scented soap and body wash stack a fragrance on top; an hour later the fragrance is gone and the nonenal is still there.

Defiant is built to break nonenal down and carry it off the skin. You rinse clean and stay clean. Nothing to cover up, because nothing's left.

Skin cross-section in three panels. After forty: sebum (omega-7 fatty acids) rises through the epidermis and oxidizes on the skin surface into 2-nonenal, an oil, not sweat. Regular soap: fragrance sits on top and is gone in an hour; water doesn't dissolve the oil. Defiant: breaks the oil down and lifts it off; skin surface clean, nothing to cover.
Is it safe for my face?

Yes. It's a 5 oz bar for face and body. Rich lather, non-drying. If you've got a beard, work it in — nonenal collects there too.

Will it dry my skin out?

No. Skin over sixty is thinner and drier than it was, and this bar is formulated for it. Dense, slow-wearing, non-stripping lather.

How long until it works?

First wash. You'll notice for sure inside a week. So will the people who hug you.

Does it have a scent?

A faint clean note in the shower, gone within the hour. Nothing lingers on you. That's the point — it doesn't need to.

Can I keep using my deodorant?

Yes. Deodorant handles sweat under your arms. Defiant handles nonenal everywhere else. They don't get in each other's way.

Does it work for women?

Yes. Nonenal isn't a men's problem — it's an age problem. The bar is the same; only the box says "for men."

Buying this for him?

Good. Two things: put it in the shower where his old soap was, and don't make a speech. He'll figure it out in a week, and he'll be grateful you didn't say anything.
