What is Soapberry?
Soapberry is a cherry-like fruit that contains saponin - a gentle natural cleanser. The berry is made up of a single, relatively large seed, which is surrounded by a layer of fruit pulp, which is where the saponin is contained. The soapberry fruit has been used for many thousands of years as a gentle cleanser for the washing of fine silks, for hair care and personal hygiene.

Does Soapberry contain soap? I've read that soap is drying on the skin?
The Soapberry fruit produces a range of natural cleansers called ‘saponins’. This property helps water to dissolve dirt and remove it from surfaces so that it can be rinsed away. It is a natural cleanser that has been used for hundreds of years, but it is not as strong or aggressive as purpose-designed heavy-duty synthetic soaps which can leave your skin dry. That’s why our WaterWipes baby wipes for Weaning are more effective at cleaning. They are also perfectly safe for cleaning your baby’s face and hands, as well as their bottoms as they are designed to be gentle on baby’s skin. WaterWipes baby wipes for Weaning are also approved by Allergy UK as well as awarded the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance.
