Nablus Soap, inherited since the 10th century AD, is more than just soap.
It is a "living heritage" that has preserved the local life and culture, and is still protected by many people today.
It is also ideal for treating darkened pores and dryness. When used on areas where body odor is a concern, the refreshing scent of thyme gently envelops and neutralizes body odor.
Established in 1611: A long history and an unchanged recipe
The "Toubeh family," a soap-making family in Palestine, has been making soap for over 400 years. The soap is made using traditional kiln-firing methods, and the manufacturing process and recipe passed down only within the Toubeh family are still preserved today.
It is the highest quality organic soap based on extra virgin olive oil.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Nablus Soap uses 100% organic virgin olive oil from the West Bank, Palestine, which is considered the highest quality and extracted from the first pressing. Therefore, it is rich in highly nutritious oleic acid and natural moisturizing ingredients.

This tradition is dying out.
-
Olive groves are being lost
Olives are the raw material for Nablus Soap. However, the production environment is currently greatly affected, with olive groves being destroyed. Olive trees, which take many years to grow, do not easily recover once lost.
-
An environment where it's difficult to work freely
People live their daily lives with restrictions on movement and work. They pass through numerous checkpoints every day, enduring time limits and constraints to work, yet they continue to preserve their traditions.
-
The Last Remaining Factory
Only two soap factories remain today, a stark contrast to the many that once existed. Even a soap with a 1000-year history is not guaranteed to continue indefinitely.

Frequently asked questions
Nablus Soap FAQ
Can it be used on sensitive skin?
Made with simple ingredients, it can also be used by those with sensitive skin. For sensitive skin, we recommend "Natural Olive" or "Traditional Soap." *However, as individual results may vary, we recommend a patch test if you have concerns.
Can it be used on oily skin?
Yes, you can use it. It thoroughly removes excess sebum and dirt while retaining essential moisture. It is also recommended for those who want to balance their skin, as it reduces the feeling of tightness caused by overwashing.
Can this be used on infants and young children?
Yes, it can be used. Since it's an additive-free soap, many families use it. Please use it while observing your skin's condition.
Can I use it on my hair too?
Yes, you can use it as a shampoo as well. It might feel a bit stiff at first, but you'll gradually get used to it.
Does it have a scent?
Since no artificial fragrances are used, the scent is natural, derived from olives and natural herbs.
What is the proper way to store it?
Drain well and store in a well-ventilated place. It will last longer.
Why is there variation in color and shape?
Because some processes are performed by hand, each item will have individual differences. There are no issues with the quality.
Why haven't you renewed Ecocert certification?
This is due to the ongoing situation in the region, which has made it impossible for inspectors to visit. The manufacturing process and quality remain unchanged from before.
*The soap currently being delivered was manufactured in 2023, so it bears the Ecocert logo.
Isn't it more expensive than other soaps?
At first glance, it may seem expensive, but Nablus Soap is made primarily from olive oil, using a traditional method that has been passed down for 1,000 years, taking time and effort.
Furthermore, transportation from Palestine is currently very limited, and shipping costs are soaring.
Moreover, it can be used not only on the face but also on the entire body, allowing for full-body care with just one product.
Many people choose it for its ability to provide simple and efficient care.
What is the expiration date for soap?
Nablus Soap has no expiration date. It is a soap with low moisture content that slowly matures over time.
As it matures, it becomes harder, less prone to dissolving, and lasts longer.
Like wine, it is one of nature's blessings that increases in value over time.
Please store it in a cool, well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight, high temperatures, and high humidity.
