The Camel / al-Jamal, made in the Shaka'a family-owned workshop in Nablus, is the most iconic imprint of Nablus soap --- often people refer to 'al-Jamal soap' to mean Nablus soap in the same way that people talk of Jacuzzi for hot tubs or Xerox for copy machines. Its main market is in southern Palestine around Hebron. The imprint took its mascot from the camel trains used to carry in qilw soda ash and olive oil to Nablus from neighboring countrysides.

Ingredients

Virgin olive oil, water, and sodium hydroxide.

Dimensions

Average 4.8 ounces per bar.

Care Instructions

Olive oil soap gets better with age. Keep them in a dry place for an increasingly olive-tan colored, dense, sudsy, and less soap-smelling bar. They can be aged even faster in a sunny window.

Joan Wortis (Vashon, US)
Very Happy with this soap

I am happy with its few ingredients, mostly olive oil, its lack of scent and very pleased to support a Palestinian product and tradition. I was transfixed by the 2014 video of the Nablus soap factory showing the skill and hard work behind the soap making and the long tradition with the devotion of the makers.
