About Palestinian Soap Cooperative

We're a distributor of traditional Palestinian olive oil soap from Nablus, a city that has continuously produced pure olive oil soap for the past thousand years. We currently ship all orders from San Francisco. Nablus soap is the only 100% olive oil soap still produced in the traditional way. Made from three ingredients --- virgin olive oil, water, and lye --- it is cooked slowly on high heat for a week, before being hand cut, stacked, and dried for up to 8 months. Nablus soap was discovered by Europe during their First Crusades to conquer Palestine, and inferior versions have been produced since the 1600s in cities such as Castile and Marseilles.
