Eco Nuts Review & Giveaway



Eco Nuts is an amazing company that is a great alternative to potentially harmful chemical soap. Eco Nuts are the dried fruit shell from the Sapindus Mukorossi tree in Napal, India and Indonesia. Eco Nuts are harvested from high in the Himalayas and are the highest quality soap nut on the market.

How do Eco Nuts work, you ask? 
Eco Nuts \ contain 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 also:
  • biodegradable
  • antimicrobial
  • hypoallergenic
  • perfect for sensitive skin, allergies, eczema
  • 100% natural and FREE of manmade chemicals
  • beneficial for gray water and septic systems
  • sustainable
  • fragrance free
  • reusable
  • vegan!
Eco Nuts carries a nice little variety of eco nut products. From different sized packages of whole eco nut soap to super concentrated liquid soap, scouring powder and linen spray. They also carry a great line of body products, as well. A super delicious line of body scrubs, some body and baby oils, lip balms and bath salts. Mona provided some original eco nuts for review.


Likes: Hmmm, let me see. Oh yeah! I LOVE pretty much everything about this soap. I love that it's sustainable, eco-friendly, 100% natural and I love that it isn't filled with man made harmful chemicals that react on sensitive skin. I love that they're super easy to use and that you use them until they're gone. Easy-Peasy!

Dislikes: The ONLY thing that kind of puts me off about this soap is the fact that I'm not used to the smell of the soap. It has a very natural smell and I'm use to the 'chemical' fragrance of commercial laundry detergent so it's a bit difficult to go to this soap. I will say, however, that the fact that it's clean and 100% natural and safe, it makes it worth it. Some may not like it for their diapers, however, because there is no fragrance to smell. It just smells like wet fabric when you pull it out. I, personally, like to smell scented diapers so I will use my eco-nuts for my towels and other laundry and use a scented soap for my diapers.

Rating: 9 out of 10

      I would like to try two products. First and obvious is the eco nuts. I have wanted to try them for a while but have been nervous to change what works. Second i would love to try their lip balm (grapefruit or lemonade).

      So, one question - this might be dumb, but as it says "nuts" - does it cause any issue for nut allergies?
