In the Chilean Andes, a unique tree has been praised for centuries for being the source of a natural wood and skin treatment—Quillaja saponaria molina, also referred to as Soap Bark tree. When reduced to a powder and mixed with water, the bark of the Quillay (from the local name meaning “to wash”) produces a gentle natural lather endowed with purifying and soothing properties.
In its ongoing quest for more natural ingredients capable of answering the needs of sensitive and delicate skin, Naturex has set up a highly sustainable supply chain for Quillaja saponaria,the raw material used for this 100% natural and standardized extract.

Sapnov, formulated with Quillaja saponaria, is a nonionic, water-soluble, 100% natural foaming agent, according to the company. But it also has other proven benefits that cannot be found in common surfactants.

Various studies have shown that quillaia extracts have soothing and dermo-purifying properties, according to Naturex.
