Composed of just three natural ingredients—virgin olive oil, water, and mineral salts—this 130g bar delivers gentle, effective cleansing suitable for all ages and skin types. Renowned for its anti-aging benefits and rich moisturizing lather, it offers a sustainable, heritage-rich alternative to modern chemical soaps. ## Description Olive Oil Soap al jamal The same formula has been used over the centuries, despite the availability of modern chemical compounds now found in most manufactured soaps. Ingredients (virgin olive oil, water, and caustic soda) are mixed in a large vat over low heat for approximately five days, before the mixture is poured over a large floor space. Shortly afterward, casts are laid down to cut the soap into individual blocks, which are then stamped with the traditional seal of the factory of production. Once the soap is cut into blocks, it is stacked in geometric towers which allow for air circulation that assists in the drying process. The towering pyramids of soap climb to heights of over eight feet, and line the halls of the factory’s drying room for a period of between ten and thirty days, before they can be packaged and shipped. Olive Oil Soap Nabulsi soap has only three ingredients: virgin olive oil, water, and food grade lye. 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 a field as Europe, where it is said that sabon nabulsi was the soap of choice for Queen Elizabeth of England. These traditional Nabulsi soaps are made in a cube-like shape about 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) tall and 2.25 by 2.25 inches (5.7 by 5.7 cm) wide, weighing approx. 4.5- 5 oz. The color of the bar is like that of “the page of an old book.” The cubes are stamped on the top with the factory’s seal. The smell of Nabulsi soap is distinctive, although it is not perfumed. Review: Great for face and body - I love this soap. It has no real fragrance and a plush lather. I replaced my expensive face cleanser with this soap and my face looks and feels good. It doesn’t dry my skin out as other soaps have. I also have very sensitive skin, and it doesn’t react to this. It also makes a nice shaving soap. Review: Everyone should have this soap! - Yes, the video about how this soap is made is very cool. No, it does not smell "pretty". It has no fragrance (but this is a good thing, as artificial fragrance is one of those most toxic ingredients in bath/beauty products). It's not scentless in the way Dove Senstive Skin bar soap is. If you've ever smelled unscented handmade soap, that's what this smells like. At first, it doesn't produce an enormous amount of lather, but after 3 or 4 uses, the rich creamy moisturizing lather kicks in, and it is fantastic. I have sensitive skin; the skin on my arms and legs is fairly dry, while my back and chest tend more toward the oily side. Somehow, this soap addresses both issues. Since using this, I have far fewer breakouts, no scaly patches, no rashes, no bumpy spots on the backs of my arms, no itchiness...it's wonderful. What little smell it does have dissipates within 15 or 20 minutes of drying off. Only my legs still require a little lotion (though not as much as before), but so far, I haven't found any soap that moisturizes my legs enough to not need lotion. Also, this bar seems to be lasting quite a while, which is nice. I've been using it for over a month, and it's only about half gone. I store it on the shower caddy that hangs in our shower, so it gets good air circulation, isn't sitting in water, and is mostly out of the way of the shower spray. I don't find this soap to be too expensive. A bar of good handmade soap will run $5 to $7 anyway, and this brand lasts longer than any handmade soap I've ever bought. Oh, and I think the wrapper is pretty, too, if you don't need cutesy swirls and flowers. I will gladly purchase this over and over again. ## Features - Al Jamal soap is a type of soap produced only in Nablus ~ Palestine - Only 3 Ingredients Virgin Olive Oil, Water, & Mineral Salts - Made with virgin Olive Oil from the Holy Land - Larger size ( each is about 130 grams ) - Olive Oil is an effective anti-ager, working to improve skin tone and texture, and combat the signs of aging.

It’s the perfect blend of natural ingredients. The recipe for this amazingness is thousands of years old!!!! Jesus probably bathed in the lakes of menatonka and used this same bar! It leaves your skin clean plain and simple. Most people say the bar doesn’t have a scent which is true. But let’s be honest guys and gals, you’re gonna throw on some lotion and fufu smell good stuff after the bath so what difference does soap smell make? A lot of people say it doesn’t sud up. Very true. However, this century birthed the creation of a thing called a “loofa” and yes men can use this bath tool also! This will suds up a bar of this magic in seconds! Longevity you might ask yourself? This bar of soap lasts a very long time and this coming from a guy that takes two showers a day. I’m getting at least a month of use per bar. And if all that doesn’t sell you on at least trying it, there’s ingredients that are specific to the Holy Land that aren’t in any other soap on the planet!! Do some research and watch a YouTube video if you’re still not convinced. Do yourself a favor and try it at least once! ## Frequently Bought Together - AL-JAMAL Olive Oil Nablus Soap (1 count) - nippon kodo Kayuragi Incense Sticks - Sandalwood, Japanese Quality Incense --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/16118816-olive-oil-nablus-soap-1-count](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/16118816-olive-oil-nablus-soap-1-count) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-30*
