The Olive, Palestinian Soap Cooperative

The Olive soap by Al-Zaytoon.

Al-Zaytoon is the oldest soap factory in Nablus, producing over four hundred varieties of soaps and cosmetics. Established in 1611, it is a family business with deeply entrenched roots in the Nabulsi soap making tradition.

For the last four hundred years, local soapmakers and producers have called upon the Tbeleh family to facilitate the highly specialized process of cutting soap. This is further demonstrated by the locals referring to the Expert Soap Cutter position as the "Tbeleh guy."

All products are Eco Certified Organic and Halal, containing the highest percentage possible, 82%, of ingredients found on the certified organic ingredients list.
