About Us
At Soapnut Republic we are completely committed to making home cleaning products that are as safe, natural and effective as possible using the highest quality ingredients. We never compromise when it comes to safety and quality, and we are proud that we produce some of the most natural home cleaning products available in the world today.
Our products blend 100% natural Sapindus mukorossi (soapnut berry) extract with high quality plant and mineral based ingredients such as vinegar, baking soda, washing soda and pure essential oils that are sourced from around the world.
Soapnut berry extract is extremely effective as a natural surfactant, as well as being non-toxic, biodegradable, naturally hypoallergenic, and extremely gentle on skin, clothing and household surfaces. Its powerful natural cleaning properties enable outstanding results that most other products can only achieve with toxic chemicals. Soapnuts have been used for cleaning by Chinese and Native American societies for centuries.
Soapnut Republic is proudly owned and operated by New Zealander Bobby Mitchell and Australian Kim Gilliland who live in Shanghai with their two young daughters.
“The fact is you don’t need to use toxic chemicals to clean your home. There are more natural alternatives available that are just as effective if not more so. At Soapnut Republic all of our formulations meet our strictest expectations of safety for our own family and we are proud to share these with you.”
