What are soapnuts?
Soapnuts are an amazing, 100% natural cleaning product. Despite their name, they aren’t actually nuts – they’re the fruit of a tree (Sapindus Mukorossi), found primarily in India, Indonesia, and Nepal. Their outer shell contains saponin, a natural substance known for its ability to cleanse and wash — so they are GREAT for cleaning your laundry!
Soapnuts have been used to clean all kinds of fabric for centuries, but they are just recently gaining popularity in the Americas and Europe as a natural alternative to modern chemical detergents.
Because soap nuts are organically grown and chemical-free, they are gentle on clothes AND skin. That makes them great for those with sensitive skin — including babies and those that suffer from allergies, eczema, and psoriasis! They’re totally biodegradeable, so they’re better for the environment than regular detergent, and they’re antimicrobial, so they’re even good for septic and greywater systems!
