That Red House Soapberries

These clever little Soapberries actually come from the Sapindus Mukorossi Tree in Nepal and are picked and the seed is removed, leaving the shell which is dried. How they work is the scientific part care of Mother Nature – the inside of the shell is lined with a natural soap called Saponins. When agitated in water the Saponins release their soap which has the ability to release and lift dirt and grime from fabrics and surfaces – amazed yet? These berries are sustainably sourced from the Himalayas, 100% natural and biodegradable, which we love so dearly!  The best thing about these soapberries is that they can not only be used to wash your clothes with but also many different cleaning applications because they are antibacterial and anti-fungal!
