Nablus Olive Oil Soap: Centuries of Palestinian Craftsmanship in Every Bar

What is Nabulsi Soap?

Nabulsi soap is a traditional Palestinian olive oil soap made in the ancient city of Nablus. For centuries, this soap has been handcrafted by skilled artisans using three simple ingredients:

• Virgin olive oil,
• Water, and
• Sodium compound.

This minimalist recipe results in a pure, natural, and long-lasting soap that is gentle enough for all skin types, including sensitive and baby skin.
