WHAT ARE THEY? 

Soapnuts / Indian soap berries are used as natural detergent for centuries, due to the cleaning essence that is contained in its shell.

Soap nuts are grown on a small tree - Sapindus Mukorossi tree, native of the Himalayas, and the mountainous regions of India & Nepal.

Once the berries are picked and seeds are removed, the shells are left to dry naturally. Then sold un-modified on the market.

Soapnuts produce a compound known as saponin, which bubbles up when exposed to water, the same way as soap does, minus the chemical!

They are Eco-Friendly because:

• They don't need fertile soil, they grow best in harsh environment
• Resilient to diseases & doesn't need fertiliser / chemical pesticides
• 100% natural

HOW-TO

Concentrated Liquid 

• Place a handful of soapnuts (around 20) with 2 cups of water in a pot. (more water for less concentrated liquid)
• Bring to boil, and turn down the heat. Let is simmer for another 30 minutes.
• Strain the liquid, let soapnuts dry on the side, they can be used to make more batches of liquid.
• Once liquid is cool, pour concentrated liquid in a bottle. Keep refrigerated for up to a week.

Dilute liquid with water for laundry, or multi-purpose cleaner. Add a few drops of essential oil to your liking!
