What’s an Eco Nut?
Eco Nuts™ are completely sustainable dried fruit shells that come from the Sapindus mukorossi tree in Nepal, India and Indonesia. The ones we harvest come from high up in the Himalayas and are the highest quality "soap nut" on the market. These fruit shells have been used in India and China for centuries, and are now gaining popularity in America and Europe as a renewable, biodegradable and organic alternative to chemical detergents and expensive “Green” laundry soaps.
Eco Nuts™ \ contain saponin, a natural cleaner that works as a surfactant, breaking the surface tension of the water to penetrate the fibers of your clothing, lifting stains from the fabric and leaving dirt suspended in the water that is rinsed away.
Eco Nuts™ are gentle
on both clothes and skin, making them ideal for those with sensitive skin, eczema, allergies and psoriasis. Because they are
so mild, they are perfect for baby clothes and cloth diapers. The antimicrobial properties of Eco Nuts™ also make them great for septic and grey water systems. But don’t
expect these shells to foam up like commercial soaps, which have artificial foaming agents. Foam simply does not represent
cleaning power.
Nut Allergy Safe!
Eco Nuts™ are actually a berry fruit related to the lychee and are not nuts at all. They are completely nut allergy safe and have been used successfully with no reactions by people with nut allergies. They earned the name "nuts" because they dry into hard shells like nuts instead of squishy fruit.
While Eco Nuts™ has been a terrific solution for many customers with skin allergies and other conditions, people who have many allergies or compromised immune systems should always take proper precautions and first wash one small item in a small container or sink OR do a patch test before washing an entire load in the washing machine.
The towels on the right have been washed for several loads with All® Free and Clear, while the towels on the left were washed for several loads with Eco Nuts™.
The Eco Nuts™ towels are noticably fluffier (and MUCH softer) because of Eco Nuts'™ ability to gently loosen fibers. Chemical detergents can beat and weaken fibers resulting in your clothes and towels "wearing out" much sooner. Try Eco Nuts™ and you'll notice less pilling on your fabrics and extended overall life of textiles. Get softer fabrics AND save money, too!
If you are familiar with Soap Nuts, our
Eco Nuts™ have become a widely recognized brand name. Don’t settle
for generic soap nuts. Eco Nuts™ are higher in quality and cleaning power
because in addition to our proprietary sorting and handling process, we also only use a particular variety and size. We have
found this quality control translates into more re-uses than many other generic soap nuts. Our proprietary sorting process
also ensures a consistency in shape and texture that makes Eco Nuts™ pleasant and easy to use. Because we lovingly and carefully hand package in the USA, we can also
eliminate individualized plastic wrapping otherwise required by customs.
College students, mothers, campers, techies,
boarders, and eco-activists alike keep telling us that Eco Nuts™work great! Try a sample size and you'll become an Eco-Nut too!
