AN ECO-DETERGENT THAT GROWS ON TREES: These berry shells grow on the Sapindus mukorossi (Soap Berry) tree in the Himalayas and they naturally contains a cleaning agent that works like detergent, called saponin. Saponin is amazing at penetrating the fibres of your clothes, lifting stains from the fabric that is then rinsed away. Nature is an amazing chemist, isn't it!
KIND TO SENSITIVE SKINS AND ALLERGY SUFFERERS: Soap Nuts are a gentle yet efficient solution for many people with skin allergies and other conditions, including eczema and dermatitis, as they are completely free from artificial foaming agents.
FRESH AND CLEAN LAUNDRY WITHOUT POLLUTING THE PLANET: Soapnuts are highly-effective to get most stains out of your clothes while the lack of aggressive chemicals will keep your colours bright, and your fabric alive for much longer. They can be used on all fabrics and washing machines, especially energy-efficient ones.
KICK START YOUR GREEN LAUNDRY AND MUCH MORE: Soap nuts work at all temperatures from 30. C - 90. C. Get the best out of their natural cleaning properties by putting them in a mug with hot water just before using them, or make liquid soap that can also be used as a natural pesticide for your plants, shampoo and even a general cleaner for your home!

When our little girl turned one, she suddenly developed Eczema. We tried so many changes both in our diet and in our daily habits, and one of the things that made her condition improve massively was the swapping of supermarket cleaning products with natural, organic alternatives.
Chemicals in laundry detergents made her skin itchy and led to frequent flare-ups, but when we started using natural Soapnuts, the change in her skin was almost unbelievable!

First off, thank you for visiting our website! We starting our own journey as a zero-waste family with a clear goal in mind to make meaningful changes in our habits and lifestyle; our mantra has always been “have less impact on the planet, create less waste, and become better, more sustainable consumers”.
In our quest to swap plastic or disposable products with durable, plastic-free and less wasteful alternatives, we found there were companies we fell we could trust completely. These companies are now part of the EarthBits family and we are very proud to collaborate with them and showcase their products on this site!
On the other hand, we also found there were a lot of other products that were advertised as “eco-friendly” but didn’t seem to us as sustainable or ethical as we wanted them to be. With that in mind, we decided to launch our own brand of products, sourced from small, often family-run suppliers we can fully trust.
All our products have a story to tell, and they have been made with our beautiful Earth in mind! I hope you will love them as much as we do!
