Sapindus trifoliatus

Sapindus Trifoliatus, also known as South China Soapnut, is a deciduous tree growing mainly in tropical and subtropical regions. It is considered an important medicinal plant in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. Its fruit, which also bears the name 'soapnut', is used to make natural cleaning and cosmetic products due to its strong cleansing properties.

Soapnut contains natural surfactants that have the ability to dissolve fats and remove impurities. This is why they have become part of a wide range of eco-friendly cleaning products and laundry products, from dishwashing gels to shampoos and shower gels. The advantage of these products is that they are completely natural, do not cause allergies and are environmentally friendly. In addition, the fruit of the soapnut tree has antibacterial properties, thus providing protection against a number of skin diseases and helping to maintain healthy skin. It is therefore also often used in the cosmetics industry in the production of soaps, lotions and other cosmetic products.
