best way to use soap nuts as a face wash is to place some soap nut pieces into a mesh cloth the harder the mesh the better and soak in hot water for a few sec then rub the mesh cloth hard. a lot of foam will come out with which you can wash ur face. only use once a day as it is quite strong.
Hey there Anon - this sounds like an interesting idea. I will be giving this a try. thanks for the input.

Hi there great to read your post. I wanna share my experience how i have been using soapnut for my daily. methods to extract the foam 1. Boild it 2.shake it into a bottle 3. Make it into Eco Enzyme by fermenting, no preservatives required I have been using eco enzymes for laundry and body wash Using the fermentation method to produce more foam, no preservative and avoid staining the cloth when put soapnut directly into the macine.
After 3 months harvest the fermented the Eco enzymes soapnut (molase 1:soapnut 3: water: 10 EE method) and the remaining of soapnut we can boil it again to produce foam and keep the liquid for other purposes like liquid dishwasher for floor cleaning or for our body. Warmest regards
Diluting the fermented liquid Eco Enzymes soapnut when come to use. This is very thick liquid so we must dilute it before using.

Also soapwort, yucca root and stearic acid produced using natural sources as cleansers?
