Comments on: Are Biotique Soapnut Cleansers Good For Skin? http://thebeautybrains.com/2009/02/04/are-biotique-soapnut-cleansers-good-for-skin/ Cosmetic chemists answer your beauty product questions! We are a group of cosmetic scientists who understand what the chemicals used in cosmetics really do, how products are tested, and what all the advertising means.

Ages before Biotique was formed, and their products were created, we used to live a non-detergent life - they were only meant for our clothes. We boiled ritha (soapnut), shikakai (walnut bark) & amalaki (indian gooseberry), thenmashed them and extracted the liquid as shampoo to clean and lustre our hair. For the body we generally used gram flour paste, with maybe a bit of powdered ritha water in it (but that exfoliater would be luxury to add in). With these herbal products that add a little more, it just makes life a little more convenient, but yes they are definitely good for you. I am an Indian, and yes S, Biotique is an Indian brand.

I've bought the product and although I've only used it once I'm optimistic. All of Biotique's products are biodegradable and aren't tested on animals. They advertise saying they don't use any 'harmful chemicals' or chemical fragrances. Its a good brand as far as my experience goes. I’ve checked, and they do use soapnut in their facial cleansers.

People usually use it on the hair, or for washing their clothes in hot water. I didn't know Biotique's skin products used Ritha... it's unlikely.

The shampoos do use natural ingredients, without any sulphates. I've used their Walnut Bark and Green Apple shampoos. They're both great, I like them a lot better than other shampoos available here, and have been using these for a while now. (Other times I use herbs such as Shikakai on my hair.) Their hair oils are excellent too, the Bhringraj one is my favourite. The ingredient list for the Walnut Bark shampoo (which I'm using right now so I have the bottle at hand) is - Juglans Regia Ext., Embelica Officinalis Ext., Nardostachys Jatamansi Ext., Sapindus Mukorossi Ext., Purified Water. Sapindus Mukorossi would be what you call Soapnut, it's called Ritha or Aritha here. I hope that helps, I can give you more information should you need any.
