Soapwort is a member of the carnation family of flowering plants. As the name suggests, the plant yields soap-like properties due to a high concentration of saponins found in the roots.
Mixed with water or herb infusions, powdered soapwort root will produce gentle suds, making it useful in preparing bath products.
Cosmetics: Use to make soap, shampoo and other bath products.
Household: Use Saponaria root extract to make natural laundry products.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.
