BubbleNut Wash offers urban consumers a zero-chemical, 100-per cent botanical alternative to modern laundry detergents and other home cleaners that often contain carcinogenic ingredients. These botanical alternatives are made out of soapnuts and have been in use in India for ages! The soapnuts are sourced directly from communities living in remote forest areas, thereby creating livelihood opportunities and incentives for them to manage the forest responsibly.
Looking ahead, BubbleNut Wash aims to expand our impact by forging new partnerships with marginalised communities, advancing research and innovation in eco-friendly formulations, and advocating for sustainable policies. We strive towards carbon neutrality, foster inclusive growth, and champion transparency and accountability. Our goals extend beyond borders as we aspire to be a global leader in ethical enterprise, driving positive change for both people and the planet.
Soapnuts are natural cleaning agents that have been used for hair washing, dish washing, and laundry washing for centuries. However, these nuts grow on some of the toughest terrains, either on the Himalayan slopes or deep inside the forests of peninsular India. BubbleNut Wash works by mobilising under-privileged rural women into producer groups who work to collect soapnuts all through the autumn and spring seasons. They sort, grade, dry, pack, and ship soapnuts . The market access provided by BubbleNut Wash enables women producer groups to generate additional income that can be spent on their children’s education and health.
THE HANDS BEHIND OUR PROJECT
The BubbbleNut family has 126 indigenous families from different corners of the country who contribute to the collection and processing of forest essentials used in the making of our products. These tribal communities, especially women form the grassroots of our brand.
Many members of the forest communities have never set foot in a traditional classroom, yet their lives are deeply intertwined with the rhythms of nature. Their days are spent tending to their farms to sustain their families and foraging through the dense forests for food, fuel, and medicinal herbs. This intimate relationship with the environment has endowed them with profound knowledge of how to use the forest's bounty—herbs, fruits, flowers, seeds, nuts, and bark—in their everyday lives.
BubbleNut Wash bridges the gap between this ancient wisdom and modern business acumen. By infusing traditional knowledge with entrepreneurial skills and education, the company has crafted a model that introduces these organic forest products to urban markets. This not only preserves the environmental heritage but also provides a sustainable income for the local communities, transforming their rich, natural expertise into economic opportunity.
Core Mission: At BubbleNut Wash, our core mission is to harness the power of nature to create sustainable solutions for everyday needs, while empowering communities and protecting the environment.
Company Values: We stand by the testament of creating products that are 100% biodegradable, vegan, PETA-certified, and pet-friendly. We put the planet first and inspire people to follow
