NOLIN IX Persimmon Scalp Wash
REAL CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS RESULTS THAT YOU FEEL AFTER JUST ONE WASH
Impressed from the start
I use this with my regular shampoo every time I shower. It has definitely made a complete difference in eliminating scalp odor for several days. Even though it is a little pricey, it is worth it for the job it does. Highly recommend.
Exactly as promised
Both my husband and I use this shampoo. It works to eliminate strong odors that have increased with our age. We are in our 70’s. It has just a very slight fruity fragrance that disappears quickly to nothing. It is useful because we both have sensitive skin and the product is very gentle. Your scalp feels just right after using, being neither drying nor oily!
IT WORKS!!!!
I had my doubts, but WOW! It really works. The fragrance of the product is okay, not overpowering, and doesn’t linger after your shower, but somehow the old person smell is gone! Yes, it’s expensive, but it works. It left my scalp clean, stink free, and soft. It didn’t irritate my sensitive skin or leave me itchy and dry. If you are worried about the way you smell (especially after menopause) give it a try.
Totally worth the cost
So my husband 59 years old mentions that he has "old people smell" and can't get it off. Well after researching and finding out the truth of what causes that scent I ordered 2 bottles. Our 40 year son who has Down Syndrome was the first to use it and he definitely had that smell. I washed his head with it quickly before shaving him then the rest of him. The next day he still had a simply clean smell, no strong cologne just trying to cover scents. Doing what literally hundreds if not thousands spent on otc products or prescription meds couldn't do. I Have already placed another order. To me worth every flipping cent!!!
Summertime relief without overwhelming headache inducing fragrance
So far, I have found the product to be refreshing, with continued use I think it will be better than some of the antidandruff shampoos at maintaining a clean feeling. Time and continued use will tell the story.The cost is prohibitive but for now, as a menopausal woman in the 90 plus degree southern U.S. this is my go to shampoo, soap, and shower gel.
Great Option!
Great shampoo and body wash with clean invigorating scent. Lathers up nicely and leaves my scalp soft and moisturized. No residue, and affordable for the bottle size. So far, after three weeks, I give this product a thumbs up!
Effective and leave an elegant scent to your scalp
I purchased both NOLIN and Swarva. NOLIN is the best on my experience. It is effective and leave a pleasant scent the matches my Aventus fragrance. Swarva is more expensive and marketed to remove old scent unfortunately the Swarva smell like an laundry old soap.
Great shampoo for killing odors!
Eliminates odor and odor protection lasts for a while. I also purchased the soap bar and itself is a nice smooth block that looks nice but is also compact so it doesn't take a lot of space. I buy one about every 3 months and use it almost daily so it lasts for good amount of time. The scent is really subtle so if you have smell allergies, it might not cause any issues.
It’s Not Poor Hygiene. Your Skin Chemistry Changed After 40.
As we age, skin oils change and oxidize more easily. This can create 2-nonenal — the molecule linked to that distinct musty, waxy age-related scent. It tends to collect in oily areas like the scalp, behind the ears and around the neck.

Kenji Mori
Persimmon Harvest Specialist
Experience: Third-generation persimmon grower from southern Japan focused on astringent green cultivars and harvest timing. Contribution: Helped define the narrow green-harvest window used to capture the fruit before ripening changes its tannin profile.
Haruto Sakamoto
Men’s Grooming & Scalp Advisor
Experience: 20+ years working with mature clients in a traditional-modern Tokyo barbershop. Contribution: Brought the real-world insight: many clients weren’t complaining about “dirty hair” — they were noticing a persistent scalp scent that returned even after washing.

Have Questions?
We Have Answers.
Who is NOLIN IX for?
+
NOLIN IX is for men and women 40+ who’ve noticed that something about their scent has changed, even though their hygiene hasn’t.
Maybe you wash regularly.
Maybe you already use good shampoo.
Maybe you’re clean, dressed, and still catching that strange stale smell on your pillow, collar, hairline or scalp.
That’s exactly the person IX was made for.
What exactly is age-related odor?
+
After 40, the oils on your skin can change and oxidize differently.
One of the compounds linked to that change is called 2-nonenal: the molecule associated with that distinct stale, waxy, “older” scent.
This isn’t about being dirty.
It’s about your skin chemistry changing.
And that’s why simply washing harder or adding more perfume often doesn’t solve it.
Why can’t I always smell it on myself?
+
Because your nose adapts.
It’s the same reason you stop noticing your own perfume a few minutes after applying it.
You may stop smelling your own scent long before the people around you do.
That’s why the first clues are often indirect:
pillows, hats, collars, wardrobes, someone pulling away, less closeness, fewer hugs.
How do I use NOLIN IX?
+
Use about one teaspoon-sized amount and mix it with the shampoo you already love.
Focus it on the scalp, especially the areas that produce the most oil:
crown, hairline, behind the ears and nape.
You don’t need to soak the entire length of your hair.
The scalp is where the problem starts.
How often should I use it?
+
Use NOLIN IX 3–4 times per week as part of your normal washing routine.
Consistency matters.
The goal isn’t to wait until you notice the smell.
The goal is to stop letting it build back up.
Why do I leave it on for 3–5 minutes?
+
Because NOLIN IX isn’t just there to make bubbles.
Give the persimmon tannins 3–5 minutes on the scalp so they have time to work on the odor-bearing oils before you rinse.
Think of it like steeping tea:
you don’t dip the bag in and pull it straight back out.
Give it a few minutes to do its job.
When should I notice a difference?
+
Most people should notice the biggest thing they came for after the very first wash: freshness.
With consistent use, the goal is that the smell becomes easier and easier to keep under control, instead of something you’re constantly chasing with another wash, perfume or dry shampoo.
Will it damage or dry out my hair?
+
No, NOLIN IX is designed to focus on the scalp, not strip the hair.
You can keep using the shampoo, conditioner and haircare routine you already know works for you.
IX simply adds the missing step:
targeting the scalp environment behind age-related odor.
Is it natural and GMO-free?
+
NOLIN IX is built around persimmon-derived botanical ingredients and is designed as a simple, scalp-focused freshness treatment.
For customer-facing copy, I’d only use “GMO-free” once your supplier confirms that specification for the finished formula/raw materials.
Why green persimmons?
+
Because the sweet orange persimmon you eat is already at a different stage.
NOLIN IX starts with green, intensely astringent persimmons, harvested before ripening when the tannins we’re after are at their strongest.
Before sweetness, there is strength.
What does IX mean?
+
IX stands for 9.
It connects two parts of the NOLIN story:
the 9-carbon molecule 2-nonenal, associated with age-related odor,
and our nine-day green-persimmon harvest window.
9 carbons. 9 days. IX.
Why is NOLIN IX limited?
+
Because the green-persimmon stage doesn’t last forever.
Once a year, there’s a short window when the fruit meets the tannin standard we want.
We harvest during that window, produce the year’s concentrate, and sell from that supply until the next harvest.
So when a harvest batch is gone, we can’t simply make more tomorrow.
That’s the difference between manufacturing more bottles and growing the ingredient again.
Do I need to replace my current shampoo?
+
No.
That’s one of the biggest reasons IX is easy to use.
Keep the shampoo you already love.
Mix NOLIN IX into it, focus on the scalp, leave it for 3–5 minutes, rinse.
You’re not replacing your routine.
You’re supercharging the part your normal shampoo was never designed to address.
What if I’ve already tried stronger shampoos, soap or fragrance?
+
That’s the problem.
Most of those solutions attack the smell you notice, not the reason it keeps coming back.
More fragrance can cover it.
More washing can temporarily remove surface oil.
But if the same odor-bearing compounds keep building back up, you end up stuck in the same cycle.
NOLIN IX was designed to approach the problem differently.
What if it doesn’t work for me?
+
Then you shouldn’t be stuck with it.
Use NOLIN IX consistently and give it a real chance to become part of your routine.

The risk should be ours, not yours.
