Benefits of Soapberries.
When used as a soap, soapberries creates a lather that is pH balanced and therefore very gentle on the skin. It is a natural soap and moisturiser. As a laundry detergent, soapberries work wonderfully well. It is recommended that between 5-8 soapberry shells be placed in a small cotton bag and added to the washing machine. The bag can be left in for the full wash cycle as they are known to make a great fabric softener.
One of the distinctive characteristics of the soapberry is the comparative lack of lather compared to commercial soaps. T may surprise you to learn that the lather in commercial soaps is created by the use of artificial foaming agents that have little cleansing qualities at all.
