Soap Berries (or Sapindus) are a dried fruit, similar to a lychee that release gentle anti-bacterial suds when activated in water.

Our Soap Berries originate in India, where they have been used for centuries to cover all types of cleaning needs including washing dishes and it is regularly used as shampoo too.

Why are they a more sustainable choice?

Soap Berries contain no harsh-chemicals unlike supermarket alternatives and are 100% natural.
