What is the secret of the Herbow soap nut ball?

Fresh and clean clothes without synthetic additives!

Soap nuts have a natural, good cleaning effect in%and are an environmentally friendly washing alternative. The soap nut ball, which forms the basis of the Herbow product range, offers many benefits for your health and comfort. The organic detergent works thanks to its natural active ingredients, which is why it is very gentle on sensitive skin and is also recommended for washing babies' clothes. When using the soap nut ball, no detergent residues remain in the laundry that could irritate the skin and cause allergies.

 

Using soap nuts was previously cumbersome. You had to count the nuts, tie them in a cotton bag, remember when to throw them away, and remove them from the machine immediately after washing to prevent them from getting mouldy. What's more, untreated soap nuts have a strange smell. Researchers at Herbow, however, rethought soap nuts and developed today's innovative formula for the soap nut ball, making chemical-free washing even more practical and simpler!

Comfortable to use
Just pop it in the washing machine like a laundry pod. We've packed the soap nuts into a ball-shaped cellulose-based net to make them easy to use!

Increased washing effect
The recycled cotton wrapped in a ball enhances the lathering of the soap nut's natural surfactant (saponin), further increasing its washing effect.

Fresh scent
Using Balance System technology, the soap nut is treated with a beneficial (B.S Regen) natural microorganism culture. As a result, its previous, sour smell disappears, and the laundry remains fragrantly scented for a long time.

About soap nuts
The Indian soapberry (Sapindus Mukorossi) is the fruit of a tree belonging to the soapberry family. This particular tree is native to the foothills of the Himalayas, growing in the regions of India and Nepal. The soapberry fruit is a drupe, with the fruit surrounded by a hard outer shell that is rich in saponins. Saponin is a natural surfactant that, when interacting with water, binds to fats and dirt, making it ideal for washing clothes. It also possesses numerous beneficial properties.

Natural – a mosódió 100%-osan természetes, nem tartalmaz semmiféle mesterséges vegyi anyagot ami a szervezetre vagy a környezetre káros hatást gyakorolna.

Environmentally friendly – it degrades easily and does not burden the environment. Interestingly, it grows on a tree that is never sprayed because, due to its natural saponin content, it repels pests. It has soil-protecting properties and produces a lot of oxygen, thus contributing to our planet's optimal ecological system.

Antibacterial – disinfectant

Hypoallergenic – does not irritate the skin. It is ideal for sensitive and eczematous skin and for those suffering from other skin diseases (e.g. psoriasis, neurodermatitis). Can be safely recommended for washing babies' clothes.

Protects the textile – along with excellent washing efficiency, it is still gentle, as it does not damage the structure of textiles. Its use ensures that clothes retain their shape and colour for longer.

Economical – The soap nut shell can be reused several times, for example, 1 soap nut ball is enough for 5 washes

Recyclable – The used walnut shells are compostable, and the used cellulose-based netting is also biodegradable.
