Traditional olive oil soap from Nablus is known for its smooth lather that washes away without leaving a film, and for its ability to clean without harming the skin surface.
Al-Ard soap is made by the Women's Soap Co-operative of Beita, just south of Nablus. Since they work in relatively small batches and are connected with many local small producers, their olive oil is often among the very best.
made tohelp
It is prescribed in the Mediterranean for skin ailments such as eczema, psoriasis, rashes, dandruff, acne, cold sores, and itchiness.
formulation
Ingredients are soaked and cooked slowly in a cauldron through a traditional hot process until all of it has been converted to soap and no lye remains. It is then 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. The cooperative's equipment is all stainless steel and run electrically, compared with other brands which use gas or wood burning furnaces to cook their soap. Famously healthy for the skin, Nablus soap is often considered by those who've used it to be the best soap in the world.
