Centuries ago, the natural cleaning surfactant Saponin, was discovered in the shells of the Sapindus family of trees and shrubs.  The Sapindus Mukorossi, commonly referred to as the "soap nut tree," thrives throughout the foothills of the Himilayas.  The shell of the mukorossi contains the highest quality natural surfactant, or soap, in the world.  This amazing natural nut shell teaches us that we can imitate nature, even re-engineer nature, but rarely can we improve upon its simplicity and effectiveness.

 

The Sapindus Mukorossi tree, lauded as the premier producer of quality Saponin, will yield fruit for 90 years of its life.  Harvested only when the soapberry fruit falls from the tree, the shells of the fruit are removed and dried naturally in the sun, without any need for chemical processing.  No commercial manufacturing processes are used to harness the remarkable cleaning power of Saponin.

 

MonkeyNuts® soapnuts are 100% natural, unmodified dried fruit shells.  To complete the eco-circle the seed which does not contain Saponin is used for planting new trees, animal feed and even jewerly.
