Soapberry Science
Soapberry products are non- toxic, but they are strong natural surfactants. They are not for dietary consumption and should be kept away from the eyes. Soapberry products are in general good for the skin, however if skin irritation develops discontinue use. Soapberries are a completely natural agricultural product. They are not evaluated by the FDA, and no statement is intended to diagnose, treat or prevent any disease, nor replace responsible and competent medical care. All organic products have potential to cause unexpected or unintended consequences and should be used responsibly and with due caution.
Sapindus Saponaria is related to the sapindus mucorosi, but is a distinct species. These have all been called soapberries, or soap nuts, or natural soap. They contain non-ionic surfactants, and can be called natural cleansers, hypoallergenic laundry detergents, Eco-friendly cleaners, and entirely natural soaps. They are environmentally friendly detergents and environmentally friendly soaps. Completely biodegradable, they are non-contaminating. They contribute to re-forestation and clean water, soil conservation, and sustainable economic development
