This is Soaply!
Soaply makes detergents, fabric softener, dishwasher liquids, all-purpose cleaners, hand soaps as well as soaps bars from nature’s best ingredients (like the shells of the Sapindus mukorossi fruit from Nepal). We use only the cleanest ingredients and together we pay a fair price for them.
Our mission? A clean future for all of us!
It started in March 2013, when Dutch students Melvin and Jasper saw on television how people in Nepal were making natural soap from fruit shells. Sapindus peels contain saponin, a natural form of soap, which is released when the shells come into contact with water.
Melvin and Jasper got in touch with Hari the Nepalese shell farmer, and decided to scrape together their student loans to get a first shipment of shells to the Netherlands. They saw an opportunity to make people happy with a wonderful product, and at the same time improve working and living conditions in Nepal!
Resulting in Europe's first Fair Trade washing brand!
And now...
Soaply is available at online and offline shops across the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Spain and even South Korea. And we think this is important, because the more people use Soaply, the more we can do together for people and the environment!
