Palestine is said to be the birthplace of olive oil and is home to some of the world’s oldest olive trees – some as old as 5,000 years. With so many chemicals – names we cannot even pronounce – in today’s skincare products, why not go back to basics with a soap that’s: (1) that’s 100% natural; (2) long-lasting; has a 400-year old history; (3) and is socially responsible. We have enough environmental toxins getting into our bloodstream. Do something good for your skin and health by going natural The soap may be a bit pricier, but one bar is long-lasting and your health is worth it. ABOUT NABLUS SOAP Nablus Soap, from Nablus (West Bank) Palestine There are maybe two-three traditional soap makers left in Nablus, Palestine, the agricultural and industrial center of the northern West Bank, Palestine. The town of Nablus, which had been famous for its olive products since the Middle Ages, has seen a decline in soap making due in part to export restrictions and the local market’s ability to buy this soap, which is considered more expensive. Nablus soap dates back to the 10th century. It endured throughout the Middle Ages. It is said Bedouins brought the soap to the Mediterranean, where it eventually made its way to Queen Elizabeth I in the 14th century and became a favorite of European women who revered it for its nourishing and healing benefits. There are three ingredients in the soap: virgin olive oil, water, and food-grade lye made from the ashes of the barilla plant, which grows along the Jordan River. This compound is mixed with water and olive oil and poured into wooden frames to set. The soap is cured for anywhere from three months to one year. This soap is: • Organic Soap • 100% natural • 100% biodegradable • Is not tested on animals • Has a Healing and nourishing effect • Respects the natural balance of the skin • Supports the self-healing ability of the skin Let us know if you would like soap packaged s as a gift (see photo). The Bedouin Company follows in the footsteps of a past generation. Our maternal grandfather was a spice trader in Palestine. In the late 1940s, he was displaced from his home and joined the Bedouins in neighboring Jordan. Back then, most of Jordan was still a desert community – even Amman – so spice trading was conducted from the back of a camel. Our grandfather would go on to establish the first spice shop in downtown Amman. He also managed to fund a very new small producer which would go on to be the best spice producer in Jordan today. After our grandfather’s passing, the shop closed, but the best memories and dreams live on. ***Please note if packages are returned to us because USPS or another delivery company is unable to deliver a package due to: incorrect address, inability to access building, omission of unit number and other reasons beyond the seller control, the buyer will be responsible for paying additional shipping costs to re-send.

I read an article about the unique soap making process and had to get my hands on some! Very excited to try and shipping was extremely fast!
Melissa –
All-around excellent service from this seller! I ordered on the weekend and received it only four days later from across the country. I ordered this soap brand on Amazon recently, and it came to me damp and with the wrapping paper faded and stuck to the soap. However, this order came to me packaged securely, dry, intact, and in great condition. The soap itself is scentless and feels like other olive oil soaps I’ve used. Very happy with this purchase and I will be a repeat customer!
