Nablus olive oil soap

100% olive oil soap made traditionally since the 10th century

Nablus soap is made from olive oil, water, and lye. The mix is soaked and cooked slowly in a cauldron through a traditional hot process until all of it has been converted to soap and no lye remains. It is then cooled on a stone floor and cured in chimney-shaped towers for up to 8 months to create a hard, long-lasting, and pure bar. Famously healthy for the skin, Nablus soap is often considered by those who've used it to be the best soap in the world.

Nablus soap is known for its smooth lather that washes away without leaving a film, and for its ability to clean without harming. It is prescribed in the Mediterranean for skin ailments such as eczema, psoriasis, rashes, dandruff, acne, cold sores, and itchiness. Just as strong-cleaning as it is mild, it can be used for almost any kind of washing whether household or medical. Its simplicity makes it a special kind of product that can clean a stain as well as heal a wound.

How to use: massage in circular motions on body and hands, letting the bar wash away the day and create a luxurious lather revealing soft, smooth skin.

About Nablus Soap:

Nablus soap continues a soap tradition dating back 4500 years to ancient Syria and Iraq: a hot-cooked soap made solely from olive oil. Europeans adapted the Nablus soap recipe after discovering it during the Crusades, producing the famous vegetable soaps of Castile and Marseilles. Nablus soap is the higher-quality precursor to those better-known descendants.
