Soap nuts

The NUTS LAVATUTTO are real nuts that grow from the plant Sapindus Mukorossi , which in their shells are rich in a substance called SOAP .

The shells of the NUT WASHERS They are made up of 15% highly concentrated saponin which protect the plant from parasites and have excellent cleansing properties.

Sapindus takes about nine years to reach maturity and is capable of producing fruit for ninety years. It is therefore not a plant with a low environmental impact also seen that it constitutes a excellent fertilizer for the surrounding land and consequently also an embankment against the desertification process.
