Soapberries and Camellia Oleifera – two plants used since ancient times for natural laundry and cleaning. They are a natural replacement to chemical surfactants like SLS and SLeS, and unlike the chemical agents, which can be harsh on skin, fabrics, and some surfaces, Soapberries and Camellia clean gently and effectively. They possess strong antibacterial properties that guarantee a truly clean home, dishes, and clothes.
The treasure in our products, also known as Soapberries or Soapnuts. Sapindus Mucorossi is a wild tree that grows in the lower foothills and mid-hills of the Himalayans and East Asia. Its fruits contain high concentrations of saponins – natural foam agents that give their strong cleaning and antibacterial properties. In contact with water, these fruits form a mild foam that resembles soap. Sapindus has been used for centuries as a laundry detergent, as a soap for personal hygiene, and as a cleanser with lots of other uses. Its unique properties make it an all-purpose cleaner: for skin, hair, laundry, dishes – virtually, everywhere cleaning is needed. In Eastern cultures, this miracle plant is known not only for its cleaning power. In China, Japan, and India it has been widely used as a remedy for hundreds of years. It is just enough to know the names given to this plant in Asia to get an idea of its versatile beneficial effects. In Japan, it is called “enmei-hi”, which means “life-prolonging plant”, in China “wu-huan-zi”, the “non-illness fruit”. In Ayurveda (called “Reetha” in Hindi) and in traditional Chinese medicine it is considered an invaluable herb for treating skin diseases such as eczema, psoriasis, acne, and some respiratory issues. Nowadays, Sapindus is a subject of many modern pharmaceutical studies for its antibacterial, antifungal, insecticidal, and antioxidant properties. There are so many reasons to love Sapindus in our products:
Allergy safe: ideal for people with sensitive and atopic skin. Soapberries do not irritate skin and have an anti-inflammatory effect. Despite the name “nut”, they are actually fruits and are safe for people with a nut allergy, as well.
Safe for babies: because of their nontoxic nature they are perfect solutions for baby’s linen, fabrics, toys and room cleaning.
Gentle on fabrics: they also act as a natural softener and are suitable for delicate clothing such as silk, cashmere, and wool. Their mildness helps to keep colors bright.
Organically grown: natural saponins inside the Soapberries repel insects and act as a natural insecticide. This is why they are grown without the need of any fertilizers and pesticides.
This ingredient is a great example of a zero-waste product that comes from nature to go back to nature. Read on to understand why. Camellia Oleifera is a type of green tea, native to Asia - China, Japan, India, and South-East Asia. In these countries, it is prized for its high nutritional, therapeutic, and medicinal values, with more than 2000 years of cultivation history. Modern pharmacological studies confirm Camellia is rich in vitamins A, B, and E as well as minerals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus. Due to its beneficial values for skin, extract and oil from Camellia are commonly used ingredients in cosmetic products. Camellia Oleifera is primarily notable for the edible tea oil, obtained from its seeds. The oil is rich in bioactive compounds with high beneficial value for human health, comparable to olive oil. In Asia, it is widely used not only for cooking, but also as a medicine to treat burn injuries, stomachache, and skin diseases. After the oil is extracted from its seeds, the residual pomace is used for making powder, which would otherwise be discarded from the extraction process. This powder is rich in natural saponins – the substance that gives its exceptional cleaning properties. This makes Camellia a green and sustainable detergent from the beginning to the end of its utilization – an amazing product that helps us to waste less. The high content of saponins makes Tea seed extract strong oil and grease remover. Additionally, the camelliagenin, a substance isolated in Camellia extract, provides the significant antibacterial activity. The powder is completely harmless and safe for human health since it is simply fallout from food products. Therefore, Camellia seed extract is perfect for natural and safe kitchen cleaning. Its strong degreasing, antibacterial activities, and non-toxic nature make it a great choice for removing oily spots. This is why It is not a coincidence Camellia extract is the main ingredient in our dishwashing products. ...And so much more:
