Soapnuts: Nature’s Organic Cleanser

What are Soapnuts? Soapnuts, also known as soapberries, are not actually nuts but the dried fruit of the Ritha tree (Sapindus mukorossi), commonly referred to as the Indian Soapberry tree. They contain natural saponins that are released when they come into contact with water, creating a natural soaping effect.

Where do they grow? Soapnut trees are deciduous and grow in the lower foothills of the Himalayan mountains at altitudes of up to 4,000 ft. They are also native to the western coastal regions of India, including Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Goa. They can also be found in tropical and subtropical areas of India, China, and Nepal.

Usecases: Soapnuts have been used for centuries as a natural detergent and alternative to chemical soaps. They are used for laundry, as a shampoo or body-soap, and for many other cleaning projects. They can also be used to clean jewelry, imparting a shine to them.

What are they good for? Soapnuts are beneficial for skin health, including the skin on your scalp. They prevent dry skin and help protect the skin from conditions like eczema and psoriasis¹. They are also beneficial for hair health. When applied to hair, soapnuts act as a natural soap and cleansing agent. They also help to nourish the hair and scalp and strengthen hair follicles due to their fatty acid content.

History: Soapnuts have historically always been a part of Indian culture and are still used widely by many. They have been used for centuries to wash clothes and garments as they cleanse clothes gently and leave no residue behind.

Benefits: Soapnuts are scentless, hypoallergenic, and free of chemical additives and fragrance. They are also incredibly gentle on the skin, clothing, and household surfaces. They have natural anti-bacteria and anti-fungal properties. They are also completely organic and 100% natural.
