Product details

What are the specifications of this product?

Overview

The value of the tree mostly comes from its fruit, which can be used for many pharmacological and cleansing purposes. The soapnut contains the compound of saponin, which has natural cleansing properties, and therefore the soapnut can be used as a cleanser for hair, skin, and clothing. These saponins are also useful as insecticides, for purposes such as removing head lice off the scalp.
