Dried Whole Soapnut, locally known as Lerak, is a natural botanical product derived from Sapindus rarak, a plant native to Java, Indonesia. This product is sun-dried and carefully selected to ensure high saponin content, making it an excellent raw material for natural detergents, eco-friendly cleaning products, cosmetics, and herbal applications.
Soapnuts naturally contain saponin, a biodegradable surfactant that produces gentle foam when in contact with water. It is widely used as an eco-friendly alternative to chemical-based detergents and is suitable for sensitive skin and environmentally conscious industries.
