Soap Berries
Product information
$25.00
Description
Through our journey of healing ourselves and the Earth, we discovered soap berries! (Also known as deseeded soap nuts.) Soap berries are a natural berry that fall from the tree Sapindus saponaria and contain up to 37% natural saponins. As a berry it is the safest for you and the environment to be using as an all-natural anti-microbial soap! The extraction of saponins from the berries is easy. Just simmer a handful in water using a slow cooker for around 1-2 days or throw 4-6 inside a cotton bag on a hot laundry load. The extract after boiling then must be refrigerated after it cools down or preserved by an essential oil to be shelf stable. You can also place it into smaller bottles for household usage. We find repurposed condiment or juice bottles work well for dispensing. The mixture can be diluted 3:1 with water and used as: shampoo/conditioner, hand/body soap, dish soap, car cleaner, dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, stain remover, all-purpose cleaner. If needing extra cleaning power just add vinegar and/or orange essential oil. These berries then can be composted along with our 100% compostable package! We've carefully selected our packaging to be corn-based bioplastic along with our stickers. Our logo sticker is printed using paper, eco-conscious vegetable ink, and an all-natural adhesive on the back for sticking. Our product labels are the same but are not printed. Each label is handwritten by us, using a calligraphy pen and wild privet ink, making our stickers eco-friendly and 100% biodegradable and compostable too. We sell one bag for $25 and 2 for $40. You can find us in person at Florida Fields to Fork 1200 Corey Rd, Malabar, FL 32950-3341 Thursday (2:30pm-6:30pm) and Friday (10am-2pm). Or email or text us at earthregenerationalliance@gmail.com 321-634-4226 to meet for buying or possibly local drop-off/delivery option.

The Sapindus saponaria tree grows primarily in wet tropical biomes and are native to many places. One of those places is actually Florida. We have started a seed and within 3 to 9 years could see a substantial amount berries to harvest and dry. However, in the meantime, we were not able to secure an organic certified soap berry stash in Florida and sourced 100% organically grown and treated berries from India. If you are someone who is in FL and has a soap berry tree that is fully organic, please contact us as we would love to partner with you and are actively seeking a local source to promote eco-friendly/non-chemical cleaning usage!
No chemicals were used during the production of this product. Not to the tree, berry, or even packaging material. Completely petro-chemical free.
Sapindus saponaria (soapberry tree) is native to a wide range throughout the Americas, including Florida, Georgia, the Caribbean, Central America, South America, and Hawaii.
