Soap nut - various applications

In the botanical sense, fruits are not exactly nuts. Sapindus mukorossi is considered to be a real soap tree, which means "Indian soap" in Latin. The genus includes evergreen shrubs, small trees distributed in the tropics of South America and Southeast Asia. They can also be found in the forests of the Caucasus and Crimea, where they call the fruit "Indian soap nut". Plants begin to bear fruit in the tenth year of life.

In fact, this fruit has a stone inside. It is no coincidence that it is called soap! Everything can be washed with the help of fruits.
This natural cleanser is quite effective, but unlike industrial products it is absolutely safe for human health and the environment. Its cleansing effect is due to the presence in its bark of large amounts of saponins - natural foaming agents.

Even the ancients of India, Tibet and South America knew about the cleansing properties of soap nuts. In everyday life, the peel of the fruit is used as a natural cleansing agent - it is added to water when washing fabrics, washing the body and hair. The substances contained in sapindus fruits are chemically neutral. They effectively remove dust, dirt, greasy impurities from the surface, but do not reduce the protective properties of the skin, preserve the balance of moisture, natural structure and shine of the hair.
The foam that saponins form when soaping is less abundant than that of chemical gels or shampoos, but it distributes and washes away perfectly. Hair washed with a solution of soap nuts becomes soft, easy to comb and does not get electrified. The scales of the hair are not filled with surfactants, so after a few washes the hair regains its natural volume, elasticity and quickly stops greasy. Dandruff disappears. The skin stops flaking and itching.

The soap can be used by both adults and children. It relieves irritation, does not cause burning or other unpleasant sensations.

Soap fruit extract is added to natural hair and skin care products: shampoos, conditioners, conditioners, masks, lotions.
