Soap Nuts are a 100% natural cleaner that grows wild in the Himalayas and has been used for centuries in India, China and Nepal.

Our Soap Nuts come direct from Kathmandu Nepal.

They are the seed pod of a macadamia-sized berry from the Sapindus Mukorossi or Soap Nut tree, which is cracked open and dried in the sun, producing a sticky, dark golden shell. These shells (known as ‘soapnuts’) can be placed into your washing machine instead of detergent and fabric softener, and will leave your clothes clean, soft and without scent.

The pods contain one of the highest percentages of saponins (Mother Nature’s soap) of any plant in the world, which is a surfactant that removes dirt and oils from clothing when contacted with water. Soap Nuts can also be boiled into a liquid concentrate and used as a general purpose cleaner, shampoo, hand soap… the list is long and growing.
