The Olive

Nablus soap is famous for its multi-faceted benefits, hearty enough to remove stains, yet gentle enough for the most sensitive skin. Al-Zaytoon (The Olive), established in 1611, holds the title of the oldest family run soap factory in Palestine. Deeply entrenched in the Nablus soap making tradition, the T'beleh family are well-known specialists, called upon by local makers and producers to share their specialized soap making and cutting skills.

Palestinian Soap Cooperative |  Palestinian Soap Cooperative brings together seven different Nabulsi soapmakers from Sebastia: Jamal, Mufftahein, Ard, Nimer, Naama, Zaytoon, and Shamaa.

Nablus soap is famous for its multi-faceted benefits, hearty enough to remove stains, yet gentle enough for the most sensitive skin. Soapmakers carry forward a 4,500-year-old tradition that dates back to ancient Syria and Iraq, slowly soaking and cooking water, olive oil, and lye in a cauldron through a traditional hot process. The resulting soap is 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.
