Eco Nuts®  Soap Nuts are a berry that grows in the Himalayas that naturally produces a soap.  The soap is called saponin, a natural cleaner that works as a surfactant, breaking the surface tension of the water to penetrate the fibers of your clothing, lifting stains from the fabric and leaving dirt suspended in the water that is rinsed away.

Eco Nuts are gentle on both clothes and skin, making them ideal for those with sensitive skin, eczema, allergies and psoriasis. Because they are so mild, they are perfect for baby clothes and cloth diapers. All-Natural Eco Nuts are also great for septic and grey water systems. But don’t expect these shells to foam up like commercial soaps, which have artificial foaming agents. Foam simply does not represent cleaning power.

Eco Nuts are wild-harvested, meaning they are gathered from wild trees grown without any kind of chemicals, fertilizers, or pesticides. The saponin actually tastes bad to insects so no pesticides are needed, and the trees naturally love poor uncultivated soil. They are organically grown by mother earth and certified USDA Organic by Oregon Tilth.

Eco Nuts is an environmentally friendly in it’s operations and socially responsible in dealing with it’s customers, partners and suppliers. All of their products are cruelty and paraben-free, vegan, tested only on humans, and utilize recycled or recyclable packaging!

They strive with thier packaging and products to have as little impact on the environment as possible, and that means no plastic in every instance it can be avoided. Whenever possible, they incorporate recycled, repurposed, sustainable and organic materials.

The choice of recycled carboard for the Eco Nuts is obvious, but they reviewed and settled on aluminum to contain their liquid products.

Aluminum can be recycled endless times – over and over again

It is more energy-efficient to recycle aluminum than ever before.

Aluminum can recycling saves 95% of the energy needed to make aluminum from bauxite ore. Energy savings in 1992 were enough to light a city the size of Pittsburgh for six years. (Can Manufacturers Institute 1993. The Great Aluminum Can Roundup.)

They want to promote and support the recycled aluminum industry in the United States. It conserves energy as well as supporting small towns that depend solely on the aluminum production plants. Without those plants, thousands of people would lose their jobs.

Their commitments:

To lead by example with socially and environmentally responsible business practices.  

To use only sustainable, non-toxic ingredients with zero hazardous waste generation.

To offer superior quality in all our products and packaging with environmental integrity.

To provide excellent service to our customers, vendors, employees and the community.  

To support local and global charities, environmental and community groups to the best of our ability.
