Soapnuts are Natural Soap

Soapnuts contain a natural detergent that is both highly effective and very gentle. Since soapnuts are completely natural, they are the most environmentally-friendly cleaner available. They are also extremely versatile: soapnuts are used in laundry, in allergy-free shampoos, even in general-purpose household cleaners. This page will help you get understand how to begin using soapnuts. You will quickly fine more uses on your own. When you do, please let us know!

Soapnuts for the Laundry

Soapnuts are easy to use in your laundry. Simply drop 4-6 soapnut shells into a cotton bag (now free with every order!). Place the cotton bag into the washing machine with your soiled laundry. Water and agitation work together to release the saponin from the soapnut shells, which cleanses your laundry as well or better than chemical laundry detergents. A significant advantage of soapnuts over chemical soaps (aside from the environmentally friendly aspect) is that soapnuts can be reused two, three, or even four times in subsequent wash loads. Simply save the cotton bag containing the soapnuts, gently break a few of the shells, and drop it into the next load to release more soap!

The most cost-effective way to purchase your soapnuts is our 32 ounce bag. This quantity will allow you to wash 60 or more loads of laundry. That is less than 50 cents per load! Find all of our soapnut products in the Zamuta Soapnuts Store.

Soapnut Powder

Soapnut Powder is very versatile. You can add a teaspoon of the powder to your laundry load and wash it just like chemical detergent. To make a face cleansing cream, mix a small amount of water with powder in the palm of your hand, and apply as needed. The uses are as numerous as your imagination allows. Find soapnut powder in the Soapnuts Store.

Soapnut Shampoo

Shampoo made from soapnuts is very gentle and allergen-free, and a little goes along way. To make your own soapnuts shampoo, place 8-10 soapnuts in a cotton bag, and tie the drawstring. Fill a saucepan with 3 cups of water, and boil for 12-15 minutes. Saponin is released into the water, creating an excellent natural soap. Remove the soapnut bag, and place the liquid in an empty bottle. Soapnut shampoo is not as thick as standard shampoos, and does not create as much artificial lather. Rest assured, however, that soapnut shampoo will leave your hair clean, naturally. A tip for first-time users: if your hair feels slightly dry after using soapnut shampoo, you may have used too much. Since soapnut shampoo does not produce a lot of lather, it is easy to use too much. Just remember, a little goes a long way.

Zamuta will begin offering high-quality soapnut shampoo in the Soapnuts Store in the near future. Watch for this exciting product!
