Origin
Sapindus Trifoliatus Fruit Extract comes from the fruit of the Sapindus trifoliatus (soap nut) plant. The nuts are first thoroughly cleaned and sun-dried to remove excess moisture. They are then finely ground and soaked in water to allow water-soluble saponins and other beneficial compounds to dissolve. This mixture is further filtered and concentrated to yield the potent extract.
