Al-Ard is a third-generation family-run Palestinian grocery company. In addition to soap, they are known for their imported olive oil, grains, and spice blends. The Al-Ard manufacturer works in relatively small batches and is connected with many local small producers; their olive oil is often among the very best.

The cooperative's equipment is all stainless steel and run electrically, compared with other brands that use gas or wood burning furnaces to cook their soap. Al-Ard's main market is in northern Palestine, in the areas around Nazareth and Jenin.

The newest of the Nablus soap brands, Al-Ard was founded in 2008 in order to provide local farmers with modern facilities and a global customer base. The Anabtawi family has deep roots in Nablus and manages the production of this soap.

Ingredients

All the Nablus soap brands we sell are cooked in the traditional style out of olive oil, water, and soda, resulting in a soda-less bar of pure saponified olive oil.

Dimensions

Depends on the particular batch, but bars for all brands we carry usually measure about 2 x 3 x 3 inches and weigh 5 ounces on average.

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.

Awesome, long-lasting soap

I originally bought this soap because I have very sensitive skin and I’m allergic to most synthetic fragrances. I liked the cause, too - good jobs and poverty reduction for Palestinians is good for Palestinians and reduces support for extremist groups.

What I wasn’t expecting was what a good value this soap would be. I’ve been using the same bar in my bathroom for 13 months. My husband has been using it as well for for 8 months. We’ve used between 1/3 and 1/2 of the bar. That’s a ridiculous value - we would have gone through about 6-7 bottles of our old hand soap in that time, at about 4-5 times the cost (and all that plastic waste!)

This soap is gentle, effective, a great value, and good for the world. What more can you ask for?
