The Miracles of Nature
When we started Karmafarm, we looked around finding low impact products for our consumers. We stumpled apon these little things and tried them out. Soap Nuts are a great eco-friendly laundry product. You use about 5 nuts and can reuse them up to 5 times or more. They leave your clothes clean and smelling fresh. All of our needs are supplied by nature, we just have to take the time to find them. I recommend Soap Nuts to anyone.
NaturOli Nuts (our brand of Soap Nuts) are of only the highest grade and effectiveness. They are truly amazing gifts from Mother Nature - the ultimate 100% natural laundry detergent. As a major US importer, our Soap Nuts come directly from India and Nepal to ensure optimal quality. Quite simply, soap nuts are an EXTREMELY effective cleaning agent with absolutely NO chemicals, toxins or artificial perfumes. This pure natural detergent simply leaves your laundry amazingly clean and wonderfully fresh. Being so gentle and non-toxic, soap nuts are superb for fine, delicate fabrics and silks. NaturOli uses only select Soap Nuts from the Sapindus Mukorossi tree (its botanical name). They are the most effective and highest valued of the many types. (More explanation below.) Whether you have allergies, or are sensitive to commercial chemicals and fragrances, or just want to do your part for a greener earth, soap nuts are like an absolute dream come true.
ULTRA SIMPLE TO USE:
Just put 4-5 soap nuts (roughly a half-ounce) in the provided 100% cotton drawstring bag(s) and toss the bag of soap nuts in with your laundry. That's it. Remove the bag after the rinse cycle. The soap nuts can be reused 3 to 5 times, and the bag can be reused over and over until it wears out. The spent soap nuts are 100% biodegradable and can be discarded in the manner of your choice - totally green and eco-friendly!
Stop by Karmafarm today and try them out.http://www.karmafarmonline.com

BEST of the best!
I love NaturOli Soapnuts, so much that I started to sell them.(www.ecoGorgeous.com) NaturOli brand is by far the best of all the brands that I have tried (and there have been quite a few). NaturOli nuts are hand sorted, so you receive whole, or half berries, not broken pieces.They come from the Sapindus Mukorossi tree,so they are the largest and most potent of the soapnut varieties available. I just love my soapnuts, and if you try them you will too! Visit my site www.ecoGorgeous.com and use code Gorgeous to receive a 10% savings on your order!

Soap Nuts are truly amazing!!!
I was introduced to soap nuts several months ago. I tried one type, but wasn't overly excited. Then I found the NaturOli nuts and was hooked! I haven't looked back once and will never bring another awful plastic jug of detergent into my home again! My clothes look and feel wonderful and there is NO need for fabric softeners either because soap nuts do that naturally. The truest test for me was when my son had an accident in the middle of the night(urinated in bed) and I had to wash his sheets for the first time with the soap nuts. Well, let me tell you, not one bit of smell left after a wash with the soap nuts. I was so pleased and excited to share these little gems with anyone who would listen! Another added bonus is that they can be boiled into a liquid and used for many other household needs! I used the liquid in my laundry and to wash my dishes. You could also wash your pet, clean your counters, or wash your windows! All of this without any harsh chemicals for you, your family, or the environment. There is simply no other choice when it comes to laundry.....soap nuts all the way!!

Soap Nuts - Mother Nature's Wondrous Gift. Is It True and What Do We Do?
Soap nuts lead the way to greener ways to clean. If you’re looking for a good green detergent for that new HE washer, or something eco-friendly for that old Maytag, They're a must. They're the purest "TRULY" natural detergent available. As the founder of NaturOli I am proud of receiving "the best eco-friendly detergent" recommendation by Examiner.com.
Why do I emphasize "truly"? Because greenwashing today is astonishing. Study labels. Learn how truths are hidden. Labels are skillfully crafted to sell. Just because it looks or states green, natural, etc. means nothing. Drill deeper.
Soap nuts can change our lives.
HUGE NEWS: The Green Dot Award jury made this announcement: "NaturOli green detergents and cleansers. Use of saponin, which is derived naturally from soap nuts, is possibly the most significant green innovation in history for everyday household cleaning needs."
So, where's the skeleton in the closet? Are you skeptical? I was.
Other than the unorthodox traditional method of washing laundry, there’s simply no downside - not even economically. NaturOli is developing products that maintain the benefits of soap nuts - without changing HOW we typically wash or clean.
Sustainability? No issue. The mukorossi tree is prolific -producing harvests for nearly ninety years. Although most are wild-crafted, plantations are sprouting up. Since it grows well in poor soils, otherwise unproductive ground is being made productive.
Fair Trade? Are these little gems "blood diamonds"? No. Exporters are feverishly working on Fair Trade certifications. Villagers are making a living by harvesting the fruits and drying them for sale to exporters or for wages from co-ops.
A paradigm shift is nearing. If you're unfamiliar with soap nuts and saponin (the active ingredient), you won't be soon. There's a growing movement that is recognizing the potential of these little beauties. Mother Nature gave us a wonderful gift with soap nuts. All we need to do is accept them.

NaturOli Nuts Soap Nuts
I have tried four different North American suppliers for soap nuts, and without reservation I can say that NaturOli Nuts Soap Nuts are truly the highest quality I have found.
Their soap nuts are labeled as "hand select", and that's exactly what they are. Using soap nuts is so easy that anyone can do it, but sometimes measuring the right amount gets tough when half the bag is bits and pieces. That's not a problem with NaturOli's Soap Nuts. Theirs are almost completely whole soap nuts.
They have so much great information on their website too. It's not just the technical background about what soap nuts are and the regular ways to use them to replace chemical cleaners and laundry detergent.
Instead of just getting a prepackaged bag from their overseas suppliers they make sure that what you get is what you pay for. They sort the soap nuts right at their location in Arizona to be sure that only the best quality soap nuts go out to their customers.
They also offer a soap nut powder, but because they want their customers to live green and economically they suggest you can make the powder or a soap nuts liquid yourself and give you detailed instructions on how to do that.
This is a company that really cares, you can feel that when you visit their website and in the way the handle their customer service. Some soap nuts supplier in North America sell a green product but then don't carry the green concept all the way to the customer. NaturOli does it right from beginning to end, including using only recycled packaging for their shipping.
