Scary thought! Are soapberry nuts "real" tree nuts that people are allergic to or are they more like coconuts that are not as clearly defined?
This could be worse than nut oils in cosmetics.

Soapnuts are indeed a fruit. They grow on trees all over southern asia and have been used for thousands of years to bath, cleanse hair and wash clothing. They will not trigger allergies to peanuts, nuts or coconuts.
