I just order a bottle of the liquid soapnuts on NaturOli and I'm excited to try it. I've been cringing at what is in my detergent in Uganda, but haven't been willing to ship something heavy from the states! This will be perfect (I hope). Thanks again, Katie!

The shampoo, in bottle, "Extreme soap nut shampoo" is excellent and I use coconut oil as a conditioner (need to play around with oil till you find the right amount for you) let it sit in hair while you wash--you--then rinse. You can also add to shampoo, last wash, let the shampoo set and rinse, any way play around. I did not care for the shampoo bar, ended up using it for a face wash and liked that, use on wash cloth as it has ground up soap nuts in it. Hope this helps, and enjoy. First time to this site and I am truly enjoying it, most diffidently will return again & again.

Instead I add a splash of Eucalyptus oil and that works great. Maybe other aromatherapy oils would also be effective, I haven't tried other scents, but they suggested using them on my soapnut packet. I boil up the soapnuts to make liquid soap for my soap dispensers - the soap lasts fine so long as the dispensers are quite clean when they are refilled.

Occasionally I will use a little detergent (think nighttime potty accidents). It has been a good shift for our family because of severe allergies (with skin reactions most common).

I was going to buy some when it was on sale a couple of weeks ago, but with a regular washer it's only good for 48 loads and even on sale it was still quite pricey.
