Soap Nuts

Hands up for a low-cost, super effective clothes wash…and great for sensitive skin!

Soap nuts are harvested from the Sapindus Mukorossi tree which grows mostly in Nepal. The shell of the fruit/nut has a very high concentration of saponin, which is a natural soap.

Lil' Soap Nuts come from Pakistan, direct from the community who harvest them in the wild. The Nuts are checked for seeds and picked free of twigs and leaves and left to dry. That's it! 

 What you get

1x 250g bag of soap nuts

1x small calico bag for use with soap nuts

Why we love this product

OK, are you ready for this?

Lil' Soap nuts come with a small, reusable calico bag - add 4-5 soap nut shells, pull the drawstring tight and toss in your wash.

This bag can be used up to 5 times before the nuts can be tossed into the compost heap or garden. The nuts will start to go 'mushy' after a lot of washes so we suggest replacing them after the 5th wash.

When buying a 250g bag, there are approximately 200 nuts/shells which equates to 40 small bags. At 5 loads per bag, that's 200 washes costing around 10c per wash!

But that’s not all…. Soap nuts contain natural anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties and, as they are organically grown and hypoallergenic, they are great for those with skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis as well as sensitive skin.

Use & Care Instruction

Place 5 soap nut shells in the calico bag provided. Place them into the washing machine (can be used with front or top loading machines).

After your wash, remove the bag of soap nuts and let them dry, or use them again right away if you’re doing another load.

End of Life

Soap nuts, calico bags, string and product tag are all compostable.
