Soap Nuts (Soapberries)

Soap Nuts (Indian Soap Berries)

Soap Nuts, also known as Reetha, Soapberries, Aritha, and Sapindus Berries, are dried fruit shells harvested from the Sapindus mukorossi tree, commonly known as the Soapberry tree. Native to East Asia, these natural wonders have been used traditionally in Sri Lanka and throughout Asia as a natural soap, shampoo, and laundry detergent. The shell of the Soap Nuts contains saponin, a natural cleaning agent that acts like soap when it comes into contact with water.

Key Benefits of Soap Nuts:

• Natural Cleaning Agent: Saponin in Soapberry shells offers a 100% organic, chemical-free alternative to conventional soaps and detergents.

• Gentle on Skin: Hypoallergenic and perfect for sensitive skin, Soap nuts are ideal for laundering baby clothes and personal cleansing.

• Skincare Benefits: With natural anti-fungal, anti-microbial, and anti-bacterial properties, Soap Nuts can help treat eczema, psoriasis, acne, dry skin, and rashes.

• Soap Nuts for Hair: Used as a natural shampoo, Reetha cleanses the scalp, treats dandruff and lice, and adds natural luster and strength to hair.

• Eco-Friendly: Safe for the environment, biodegradable, and a sustainable alternative to chemical-laden products.

How to Use Soap Nuts:

• Soap Nut Laundry Detergent: Place 4-6 Soap Nuts in a small cloth bag and toss it into the washing machine. They can be reused until they start to disintegrate.

• Soap Nut Shampoo: Soak Soap Nuts in warm water to release saponin, strain the liquid, and use it as a natural shampoo for healthy, shiny hair.

• Body Wash and Face Wash: Create a gentle cleansing solution by soaking Soap Nuts in water and using the liquid as a body or face wash.

• Pet Shampoo: Use Soapberry liquid to cleanse pets gently, helping to control fleas and skin irritations.

Storage Instructions: Store soap nuts in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keep sealed to maintain their natural potency.

Note: Despite being called "nuts," Soap Nuts are actually berries and are safe for individuals with nut allergies.
