Persimmon Extract – Exceptional Benefits for Oral Health
Persimmon extract is a remarkable natural ingredient that offers far more than you might expect. Let’s explore how persimmon extract benefits teeth, gums, and overall oral health—and why Furano has chosen it as a key ingredient in Furano Gentle Mouthwash.
What is Persimmon Extract?
Persimmon extract is derived from the fruit of the persimmon tree, a fruit well-known for its nutritional value and health benefits—particularly in reducing bad breath. This is largely due to a key compound called tannin, which works by binding to odor-causing molecules and neutralizing them. Tannins also help reduce bacteria in the mouth that contribute to bad breath.
The most popular variety for extraction is a special Japanese persimmon, known for its higher tannin content compared to other varieties. Furano specifically uses this premium Japanese variety for maximum effectiveness.
Properties and Benefits of Persimmon Extract
Powerful Odor Control
Persimmon extract is highly effective at neutralizing various unpleasant odors, including body odor, bad breath, and odors caused by bacteria. Its mechanism works by binding with odor-causing compounds such as hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercaptan—the main culprits behind foul smells in the mouth—effectively eliminating them.
Antibacterial Action
In addition to its odor-neutralizing ability, persimmon extract helps inhibit the growth of bacteria that cause bad breath. By reducing these bacteria, it helps prevent plaque buildup and provides long-term freshness.
Other Beneficial Properties
- Rich in Antioxidants: Packed with tannins and polyphenols, persimmon extract helps protect cells from oxidative damage, slow down cell aging, and reduce the risk of premature wrinkles.
- Moisturizing and Skin-Nourishing: Retains skin moisture, leaving it soft, smooth, and revitalized.
- Soothing Effect: Contains natural compounds that calm irritation and reduce inflammation, making it suitable for sensitive skin.
- Dark Spot Prevention: Helps minimize UV and pollution damage that can cause hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone.
Uses of Persimmon Extract in Different Products
Thanks to its antibacterial and odor-control properties, persimmon extract is used in a wide range of products, such as:
- Personal Care Products: Incorporated into skincare and hair care items to maintain freshness and reduce odors.
- Soap: Helps remove body odor, reduce bacteria buildup, and leave skin feeling fresh and clean.
- Deodorant Sprays: Breaks down sweat-related odors and inhibits bacteria that cause unpleasant smells.
- Oral Care Products: Found in mouthwash and toothpaste to combat bad breath, inhibit bacterial growth, and promote fresh breath.
- Bathroom Products and Deodorizers: Reduces unwanted odors in enclosed spaces like bathrooms.
- Food and Cosmetics: In food products, it may be used to enhance freshness and reduce odors; in cosmetics, it helps protect skin from pollution and provides antioxidant benefits.
