What are soap nuts?

Soap nuts are not actually a nut, but a berry that grows on the Sapindus Mukorossi tree and contains a natural surfactant, called saponin, which cleans your clothes by lifting the dirt off of them. They’re also 100% natural, non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and eco-friendly, making them a great choice for use around children, pets, and those with sensitive skin.
