The Curious Case of Mommyhood: Maggies Pureland Soap Nuts Review and Giveaway-ends 7/25

Maggie's Pureland Review and Giveaway-ends 7/25

I had another wonderful opportunity to review a laundry soap that is more pure and environmental friendly than most you will find on the supermarket shelves. Maggie's Pureland offers consumers a biodegradable and hypoallergenic product completely free of chemicals. Their products are made from the dried soap nuts that grow directly from the Chinese Soapberry tree. Even better, they also created a liquid soap made from the soap nuts, as well as lavender, lemongrass, and tea tree essential oils! It smells so yummy!

For 5000 years, humans have been safely using Soap Nuts as a cleanser. Because of its natural sudsing power. Soap Nuts can be used for all your laundry needs. 100% all natural and biodegradable, Maggie's Pureland is safe to use for everyone in the family...including your little ones! The soap nuts are super concentrated, so they can be used over and over again. Just one 10.5 oz. box of Maggie's Pureland Soap Nuts can be used for up to 80 loads of laundry! And for the price of $18.99, that's quite the bargain!

Maggie's Pureland not only cares about the importance of chemical free laundry products in your home, they care about the families in the Indian and Indonesian jungles that harvest and provide the Soap Nuts. By purchasing Maggie's Pureland's products, you are providing the families that harvest the Soap Nuts with fair income.

Uses:

Made for the use in regular and HE washing machines, Maggie's Pureland Soap Nuts can be used as a laundry soap, a natural fabric softener, and for washing silk and wool fabrics. Maggie's Pureland Soap Nuts laundry liquid works the same as the Soap Nuts but is made for those who prefer a liquid soap.

Maggie's Pureland is safe to use for all of your baby items, including your cloth diapering systems!

It can also be used as a skin and body cleanser.

It is safe to use as a soap for your furry animal family members.

In Indian Ayurvedic medicine, Soap Nuts are used traditionally to treat skin disorders like eczema and psoriasis.

The soap nuts can be used as a fruit and vegetable wash.

And you can also use it as a surfactant cleaner! I used it to wipe down my bathroom from floor to ceiling, without the worry of my son in the room I might add, and loved the natural cleaning power of the Soapberry nuts with the essential oils. The lemongrass scent is the best! It left my bathroom smelling oh so fresh...

(Note: Although the name contains the word "nut", the Soapberry Nut is actually a fruit so those with nut allergies can safely use this product.)

Environmental Impact (according to Maggie's Pureland):

Our Factory is a Tree – Preserving Trees

And it is a wild tree. Maggie’s Soap Nuts are harvested from trees growing wild in the forests of India, Indonesia and Nepal. The trees are naturally occurring. No fertilizer or pesticides are used. Soap nuts have been used as soap for thousands of years. The booming of the chemical industries after World War II brought low priced detergents filled with fragrance, dyes and optical brighteners. These “modern” chemicals drowned out the old fashioned organic ways. Soap Nut trees became more valuable as lumber than as soap producing trees. Many trees were (and still are) cut for lumber and to clear ground for coconut and other crops.

Your purchase of Maggie’s Soap Nuts provides income to thousands of folks in our producing areas. And your purchase saves thousands of trees. No one cuts down a tree that gives fruit every year.

Our Factory is a Tree – Processing Maggie’s Soap Nuts

Maggie’s Soap Nuts really aren’t processed. We take the seeds out by hand and let the fruit dry in the sun. When it is dried, we put it in a recyclable box and send it to market. It is natural, wholly natural.

There is no waste. No waste water, no toxic byproducts. Everything is used. We even make jewelry and “marbles” from the little hard black seeds. All packaging is either recycled, recyclable, or re-usable.

Our Factory is a Tree – Carbon Footprint

Our product is shipped to the United States and Canada by the lowest carbon cost methods available. Then we fully offset the carbon cost by doing the obvious. We plant trees. We plant forests. Join us. Buy Maggie’s Soap Nuts and you will help plant a tree.

Trees for the Future

Soap nut trees require a totally frost free environment. As they can fruit over 100 years, they have to have a very special climate. This climate exists in three tiny areas of the United States. In 2007 we started our first seedlings and in 2008 we will plant our first trees. They should bear first fruit in 2016 and continue to after the year 2100. The will be providing soap, shade and sequestering carbon for many generations to come.

Directions:

It is very important to note why the soap nuts do not suds. Most laboratory cleaners contain foaming agents to “trick” consumers that the product is working. In truth, the quantity of bubbles does not tell you if a cleaner is effective! Maggie’s Soap Nuts keep you clean without phony bubbles. Because they are low sudsing, Soap Nuts are ideal for H.E. and front loader machines.
