Sapindus is a genus of about five to twelve species of shrubs and small trees in the Lychee family, Sapindaceae, native to warm temperate to tropical regions in both the Old World and New World. Members of the genus are commonly known as soapberries or soapnuts, because the fruit pulp has sufractant properties and has been used as soap for thousands of years by native peoples in Asia as well as Native Americans. Soapnuts are a popular ingredient in Ayurvedic shampoos and cleansers and they are a remedy for eczema, psoriasis, and freckles. Soapnuts have gentle insecticidal properties and are traditionally used for removing lice from the scalp. They are also used as the base for nontoxic laundry detergents.
