SOAPNUT EXTRACT
Soapnut extract is sourced from the fruits (nuts) of Sapindus Trifoliatus, also known as Arishta or Phenila in Sanskrit – a deciduous tree growing in southern India. The tree grows up to 15m height and has the crown around 1.50m in width. The leaves are between 12 and 30 cm long. It blooms with white flowers in March and April, then, in September and October the fruits (soapnuts) are harvested, stored and allowed to dry. Soapnuts’ colour turns from golden to reddish brown during this process. The pericarp is a rich source of saponins which function as a mild cleanser, surfactant, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agent. They were used for washing for thousands of years by natives in Asia.
Soapnut extract is gentle even for sensitive skin. Dermal toxicity studies on the saponin fraction indicated it doesn’t cause any dermal irritation, sensitization, phototoxicity or photosensitization effects.
