The Sapindus mukorossi nuts produce important amounts of a saponifying agent that can be used as laundry detergent, dish and hand soap, shampoo and body wash, pet cleaning wash and mosquito repellent among others.The best thing about soapnuts is that a basic soapnut liquid can become the basis for many recipes, I have tried to put together all the knowledge I have acquired throughout the years to put them all together in a complete guide of soapnut recipes! Hope you’ll find it as useful as we did!

You can also use soap berry shells to make a liquid washing detergent. For this you will need to make a soapnut liquid concentrate

• Dilute soapnut liquid concentrate with water
• Use a few tablespoons (depending on load size) to your washing machine detergent drawer
• For those suffering with eczema, psoriasis or other skin condition, this lotion can also be used to soothe and nourish dry and angry skin. Please make sure not to add any essential oils if you suffer from any skin condition
• 

• Flesh from 15 Soap Nuts, used after being boiled to make basic soapnut liquid
• 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 3 teaspoons Soap Nuts Liquid Concentrate

Remove the soapnuts after making soapnut basic liquid, remove the hulls as well as any harder bits of soap nuts flesh, put them into a blender and mix into a paste, and the olive oil and liquid. You will obtain a nice paste that will start to foam. Use immediately to shave after making it!
