Soapberries are a completely natural berry that is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and hypoallergenic. This is ideal for people with sensitive skin or conditions like dermatitis, eczema or psoriasis. Unlike traditional laundry detergents, soapberries will not be absorbed into your clothes which can then penetrate your skin. These berries grow across the Himalayan region on the Sapindus Mukorossi tree. They are high in saponin – nature’s soap. They can save you money as only it costs only 10 cents per was of a 1kg bag. They can also be used as shampoo, hand wash, household cleaner and body wash. Add 5 dried berries to the wash bag and throw it in the washing machine.
