Nablus Olive Oil Soap is a traditional Palestinian bar soap, fire-cooked and air-dried in the ancient city of Nablus.

Thousands of years after it was first produced, Nablus soap still has the same simple qualities that made it famous. Virgin olive oil from Palestine is mixed with lye and water, and cooked over a fire. The molten mixture is poured onto a stone floor, cut into squares, and then air-dried for several months before being wrapped in paper.

Fragrance-free, fantastic for your skin, and supporting an industry which has provided a livelihood for generations of Palestinians. What's not to love?

Pair it with our handcrafted ceramic Soap Holder from Hebron.

The "camel" (الجمل) brand of Nabulsi soap is a Palestinian icon, still produced at the original Al-Shakaa Soap Factory in Nablus.

The factory itself has been making the same olive oil soap for nearly two centuries – carrying on one of the world's oldest soap-making traditions, stretching back millennia.
