*What are Soap Nuts?
Soapnuts or Sapindus Mukorossi Shells are cultivated wild in the Himalayas. They are rich in saponins. Not actually a nut, but in fact a browny, orange berry, Soap nuts are hypoallergenic, anti-fungal, antibacterial and antimicrobial. The addition of water infused with Soapnuts in soap, aid in producing bubbles in mineral heavy water.
*What are Chelators?
Hard water is water that has traveled through certain types of minerals such as limestone or chalk. The water picks up deposits of calcium and magnesium as it passes through these minerals.
Soap reacts with the calcium and magnesium salts. Soap forms a scum, which is insoluble in water. The reactions mean there is less soap for cleaning or making bubbles. That’s why people in hard water areas generally have to use more soap than people in soft water areas.
The purpose of chelating agents is relatively simple – to prevent the minerals prevalent in hard water from interfering with cleaning. We use Sodium Gluconate as a chelating agent, which is produced by fermentation of glucose.
