In fact, clothing for all children should wash with these soap nuts to avoid exposing infants and children to toxic chemicals found in commercial laundry products. Y while you're at it, why not save you that exposure, too, by washing your own clothes with laundry soap nature?

What Soapnuts NOT contain include:

• Foaming chemicals, consumers into thinking their clothes are cleaner because there is "froth" in the wash. TRUTH: The foam has nothing to do with cleanliness. They are chemical additives used to create the illusion cleaning action.

• Fragrance chemicals that make laundry "smell clean." Most products commercial laundry use of toxic, synthetic fragrance chemicals that are in fact well known to promote cancer and liver disease. Laundry products are not really regulated by any single government agency, and there is currently no law prohibiting the use of known cancer products chemicals in laundry products (As with the cosmetic).

• Filler ingredients. Almost all laundry products trade are made with at least 50% filling ingredients to "bulk up" and make them appear to offer more value for money. Consumers are mostly just buying the illusion of detergent, made mostly with filler.

You will not find filler or toxic chemicals in Soapnuts. Just pure, natural saponins grown by a tree and directed by nature. In our opinion, this is where more of our products should ultimately come from. Would not it be great if shampoo also grew on trees?

In fact, it does!
