Al Jamal Nabulsi Olive Oil Soap, Palestinian - 100% of proceeds donated to the The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS)

In Nablus, the tradition of olive oil soap-making evolved into a major industry and an art. As early as the 10th century, the traditional olive oil soap from the city’s factories was exported across the Arab world, and as far as Europe, where it is said that "Sabon Nabulsi" (Nablus Soap) was the soap of choice for Queen Elizabeth of England. Combined with its clean ingredients straight from the West Bank, it makes this soap truly unique.

Established since 1880 in Nablus, Palestine this factory, Al-Shakaa, has been making the Al-Jamal Soap for more than 140 years. Al-Jamal Soap is a Nabulsi soap produced only in our factory in Nablus in West Bank, Palestine. Palestine is said to be the birthplace of olive oil and is home to some of the world’s oldest olive trees - some as old as 5,000 years. Using this virgin olive oil, which is sourced locally from Palestine, we hand make our soap. It’s completely plant-based and there is no scent, or perfume added.

I use this soap at home, and have for some time.  I like it and think you will too.  There is no added fragrance and it lathers nicely.  The bars are hand cut and pleasing to the eye.  And,  if you smell carefully you can detect the slight sweet scent of olive oil!

We'll donate 100% of the sales proceeds from this Nablusi soap, to The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) the leading provider of emergency medical services in Gaza and the West Bank. As hospitals run out of vital supplies and fuel, the PRCS has supported the evacuation of the sick and wounded and their families to safe places in the south of Gaza.  For more information on the PRCS, click here.
