What are Circle Soaps

Circle Soaps are revolutionary bars of gentle soap which allow us to be more confident, smell great, and hug lots as our bodies change over time. 

Who needs Circle Soaps?

Circle Soaps were created for folks over 40;  but here at Joytown we don’t discriminate. If you’re younger than 40, we welcome you!  Just think of it as starting the party a little early 😄.

Why are Circle Soaps Needed?

We like to think of ourselves as fine wine, we get better with age.  We are wiser, more compassionate, and stronger from everything we’ve experienced.

And as we get older around the age of 40, our hormones change the way we metabolize food.

This increases the production of lipid and fatty acids on our skin.  At the same time, our skin’s natural antioxidant properties deteriorate and those darn lipids oxidize more easily. This produces a chemical compound called nonenal . . . and unfortunately nonenal doesn’t smell as good as fine wine!

If you’ve ever heard anyone mention “old person’s smell”, this is what they’re talking about. It’s a real thing, it’s absolutely natural, and it doesn’t have a hoot to do with “cleanliness”.  It has to do with the gases our bodies produce as we age. That’s why we created Circle Soaps . . . to completely eliminate the scent of nonenal from our skin.

How do Circle Soaps Work?

Well, we like to think of it as magic, but actually science holds the answer.    

A bunch of folks wearing white coats working in laboratories with test tubes and microscopes discovered that the tannin in persimmons, when blended with green tea, neutralizes nonenal the same way lemon juice neutralizes a fishy smell on our skin.

When those two ingredients are combined in the perfect  ratio, nonenal is neutralized and oder is eliminated.  Mother Nature provides all we need to smell fresh and be confident when we snuggle up close to the folks we love.

Circle Soap Details (In case you’re interested)

  • Persimmons

    Technically, persimmons are berries. Who knew? The word persimmon is derived from the word pasiminan in the Algonquian language of the southern and eastern United States meaning "a dry fruit".

  • Shea Butter

    Our shea butter is from West Africa where the finest shea trees grow. And while we don’t suggest you eat our soap, we do want you to know we use the highest food grade shea butter on the market. Nothing but the best for our circle of friends.

    Shea butter is moisturizing,  yet it won’t make your skin oily.  It is an anti-oxiodant and contains high levels of vitamins A and E.  We love that fact that shea butter has also been found to have anti-inflammatory properties.  And get this, it’s even been established to be anti-fungal and can help fight skin infections caused by fungi.

  • Green Tea

    Tea is made from tea leaves and buds that have not undergone the same withering and oxidation process that is used to make black and oolong teas. Green tea originated in China and has for years been touted as one of  the healthiest beverages on the planet.  We like it because when you mix it up with persimmon extract . . . well . . . you can snuggle up close with your loved ones and that nonenal scent doesn’t stand a chance of sticking around.
