Washing and Bathing
Soapnut powder can be used to wash the entire body and hair replacing the need for soaps, shower gels, shampoos and, in most cases conditioners and moisturisers. Skin is left soft, smooth and more resistant to infections an insect bites. The powder also has a deodorising effect.
Because soapnut is 100% natural it can be used on the most sensitive of skins, even on babies’ skin.
Add 1-2 teaspoons of powder to a bath and enjoy the soak as the powder works its wonders.
Washing with soapnut powder can also be done by mixing a small amount with water, smoothing over your hands, face, body and hair and rinsing. This method works extremely well in the shower and cleans the shower cubicle at the same time!
Mixing the powder into a thin paste acts as a wonderful exfoliator. Soapnut has also been used traditionally in India to reduce the symptoms of psoriasis, eczema, chronic itching and other skin conditions.
Hair washed with soapnut feels thicker and healthier and brushing it can make the hair really shine. It may even reduce dandruff and prevent hair loss. The longer you use the powder to wash your hair, the less you will need to use as the residual chemicals are removed.
There isn’t really a wrong way to use soapnut powder for washing and bathing except to maybe use too much at a time. As there are no chemical foaming agents added, the powder does not lather which may take some getting used to but, which ever way you choose to use it, you will enjoy the results every time!
