Himalayan Soap Nuts

Recently, an ingredient only used in Asia and Europe has been
made available in North America! The Soapnut is the fruit from a
tree (Sapindus Mukorossi) which grows in India and Nepal.
It has been used for many years as an economical alternative to
laundry soap, shampoo, skin cleanser, and insecticidal soap.
This amazing nut is all-natural and environmentally safe.
The nut is the dried fruit of the Rittha tree, a species of trees
native to India and the lower forests of Nepal.

The shell of the nut contains saponins which are released in the
presence of warm or hot water.   In the rural areas where it has
been in use for many years, it is highly valued as a naturally
produced shampoo and also used for washing woolen and silk
garments. Soap nuts are a completely renewable, biodegradable
material that can be composted after use.

Because they are natural, they have proven especially good for
babies and those with eczema and sensitive skin.
People with allergies or dermatitis can do their washing with the
nuts as clothes cleaned this way do not irritate the skin or cause
itching the way commercial detergents can.
The nuts also soften clothes, so a fabric softener is not necessary!
Soap nuts also preserve the colours of fabric better than
commercial detergents. Whites may become slightly grey after
extended use but this effect can be mitigated with the use of an oxy
whitener (sodium percarbonate) which is also safe for the
environment. Sodium Percarbonate is a biodegradable laundry
product which breaks down into water, oxygen, and soda ash.
The nuts are economical compared to other brands of detergent:
500 g of soapnuts can be used for up to 150 loads of laundry.

The purchase of soap nuts also helps to support the local economy
of the regions where it is harvested. Families in India often depend
on the harvest of their few trees to supplement their income.
The nuts are excellent for cottages and campers because one
ingredient will do all your washing: from clothing, to personal care
and as an insecticidal shampoo for pets.

Soap nuts can replace all brand-name detergents

Brand-name chemical detergents are heavily marketed to
consumers through advertising, coupons and in-store displays.
Packed in eye-catching boxes and scented with artificial fragrance
chemicals, these synthetic detergents are literally scooped up by
tens of millions of consumers who have no idea they're bathing their
clothes in cancer-causing chemicals while destroying the
environment by flushing dangerous chemicals downstream.
