Soap Nuts
/
DESCRIPTION
Trying to find a clean, green, sustainable alternative to laundry detergent? Let us introduce you to Soap Nuts (which aren't actually nuts but shells)! Soap Nuts are the dried berries from the Soapberry Nut, which comes from the Sapindus Mukorossi Tree. These Soap "Nuts" are completely nut-free and safe for people with nut allergies.
HOW THEY WORK
The shells of the Soap Nut contain an all-natural soap called Saponin. When the nut shells absorb water, the saponin is released, creating a luxurious, lathery soaping effect. Saponin is 100% all-natural and biodegradable, making it an excellent alternative to chemical detergents. These environmentally friendly “nuts” are becoming an increasingly popular choice for laundering clothes for those who want to avoid conventional detergents that contaminate our water supplies and are often harsh on the skin.
Laundry: use about 6 Soap Nuts per bag for a full load of wash. Soak the Soap Nuts for about 5-10 minutes before putting the bag in the wash to allow them to activate.
Sold by the Ounce: we suggest getting 4-32 ounces depending on your washing needs.
BENEFITS
Natural and Biodegradable: saponin is all-natural and breaks down easily, making it environmentally friendly.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: gentle on the skin and perfect for those with allergies or sensitivities.
Reusable: soap Nuts can be reused several times, making them a sustainable and earth-friendly option.
Compostable: once the shells become soft and gray, they can be composted.
Economical: a small amount goes a long way, offering cost savings over traditional detergents.
