What is Soapnut Extract?
Historical Background: Ancient people have long recorded using soapberry. The Ming Dynasty's Compendium of Materia Medica states that the pericarp can be used to "clean hair and brighten eyes, cleanse the face and remove freckles," and was even used as a "ghost-seeing" remedy to ward off evil spirits. Modern research has revealed that soapberry extract not only retains its traditional cleansing properties but also possesses multiple antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, making it a star ingredient in daily cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
Ingredient Analysis: The pericarp contains active substances such as saponins, fatty acids, amino acids, and vitamins.

What are the benefits of soap nut extract?
Soapberry saponins reduce the surface tension of water, creating rich foam that easily removes scalp oil, clothing stains, and kitchen grease. Compared to chemical detergents, they leave no harmful residue, rinse easily, and are less irritating to the skin, making them suitable for those with sensitive skin.
Antibacterial and Anti-inflammatory "Guardian"
Studies have shown that soapberry extract inhibits common bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, and can also fight skin fungi such as Malassezia. Using soapberry products to cleanse can help improve dandruff, acne, or minor wound infections.
Antioxidant and Anti-Aging "Expert"
The tea polyphenols and ferulic acid in soapberry are powerful antioxidants that scavenge free radicals and reduce UV damage to the skin. Long-term use of skincare products containing soapberry extract can delay skin aging and improve dullness and roughness.
An all-rounder in hair care:
Cleanses the scalp: Removes excess oil and dirt, relieves clogged hair follicles, and reduces dandruff and hair loss.
Regulates metabolism: Balances scalp oil production, improving oily or dry hair.
Promotes smoothness and shine: Provides nutrients to hair, repairs frizz, and makes hair smoother and more lustrous.
Folk remedy: Washing your hair with soapberry water for one month may reduce gray hair and significantly improve hair quality.
