Soapnuts are a revolutionary laundry soap which grows on trees and replaces detergents with an eco-friendly solution! We use them in the Washing Machine, Dish Washer and soak them in cold water to create Washing Up Liquid and Surface Cleaner, especiallly for glass and shiny surfaces. We use them without rubber gloves as they do not dry and irritate the skin. Freedom! While, nothing more than a dried fruit case, they leave the clothes clean, soft and fragrant free. Soapnuts save us from polluting the water with synthetic chemicals, from irritating our skin and using them saves a lot of money too. The soapnut fruit comes from the sapindus mukorossi tree which grows naturally in the forest and hill track areas in the Himalayas. The soap nuts, soapnuts, soap berries, wash nuts or soap pods as they are also know are idea for washing clothes by machine or by hand, turning into washing up liquid, use in the dishwasher and a general cleaning fluid, even for glass. Only the natural ripened windfall fruits are collected using traditional gathering techniques and then the seed and fruit pulp is removed by women. It is the fruit case which contains natural saponins or plant soap. The fruit cases are then sun dried. These soapnuts are still dark and quite sticky - very high in natural soap. Water dissolves the plant saponins which are in very high concentrations in the fruit. They are a natural surfactant which reduce surface tension of water, making water 'wetter' and allowing it to penetrate the clothing fibers lifting dirt, grime and oil from the clothes. The surfactants then hold onto the dirt, keeping it in suspension in the water until it is drained away. During the rinse cycle, normally with cold water, no more soap is released, meaning that when the clothes are dry, they are completely fragrance free and soft.

I have a child who suffers with severe eczema, I have tried everything I can to help him, I have bought loads of natural lotions and potions and used one's prescribed by the doctors and hospital, I ask other mum's with children with eczema what they use and anyone else who has had it themselves and nothing seemed to be working. I have tried changing washing powder before to one recommended to use for eczema and it made him even worse. I always spend time on the Internet looking for ideas to try and saw a forum discussing soap nuts, so I looked into what they were and how to use them etc and thought it was worth a try, so I ordered them and received them very quickly, after a few days of using them my sons skin made a dramatic improvement, now I don't know if this is coincidence or not but he had been through a very bad spell lasting several months which resulted in hospital visits every 2 weeks, and nothing in this time had even relieved the symptoms a little for him. I am very happy...
