Demetria Organics: Soap Nuts Giveaway

This giveaway is now closed with 343 comments. Thank you to all who entered. Congratulations to the lucky winner ~ clarissa@neiding.com!

Soap Nuts (also referred to as soap berries) are the fruit grown on the Sapindus Mukorossi tree. The shells of the berry contain a natural cleaning agent called saponin. When they come into contact with water and agitation occurs, the saponin is then released. Saponin is naturally low sudsing which makes this a perfect natural laundry detergent alternative for all washing machines including high efficiency machines.

MONEY SAVER! Using cold water with your soap nuts will also reduce your utility bill by using less energy & water. Your clothes will also last longer.

Our soap nuts are grown organically in the Himalayan Mountains of Nepal. Training and employment is provided to over 200 people in this remote village, helping create and promote sustainable development of such rural communities.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
