Soapnut Shells, 50G
Soapnut shells are the dried fruit of the Sapindus Mukorossi tree, grown in India. The shells contain saponin, a natural surfactant that releases in contact with water and acts as a gentle, effective detergent. The 50g size is the smallest in the range — a good way to try soapnuts before committing to a larger bag. It washes up to 20 loads of laundry or dishes and includes 1 cotton wash bag.

Our family is a busy outdoor one and clothes get grubby: 'eco' products have never really done an amazing job but they were the best option. I've considered trying these soapnuts for years but have only found them in large quantities and for more than I was willing to pay -when to be honest I was pretty sceptical that they would work. Well, I have just done my second wash with them and they seem genuinely as effective as any 'eco, powder has ever been: Well worth trying at this price!
This 50g bag washes up to 20 loads of laundry or dishes, making it a small trial size if you want to try soapnuts before buying a bigger bag.
They're the dried fruit of the Sapindus Mukorossi (Ritha) tree, containing a natural surfactant called saponin that creates suds when it contacts water.
Each batch of shells can be reused 4 to 6 times before they're spent and ready to compost.
Yes, because they're 100% natural with no added chemicals, soapnuts are a good option for people with eczema or sensitive skin who react to conventional laundry powders.
Once they're soft and no longer producing suds, the shells are home-compostable and can go straight into your compost.
