My family agrees that it is the best soap we have used for our skin. I gave away the Almond soap that I have been asked to review. I will have to get some more next time I order. I pray for those growing the olives and making the soap ...... and their families. I also write my congressional representatives, at least weekly, to complain about the complicity of our government in supporting the continued invasion and occupation of your lands. Support is growing in our country to end that support - the elections this fall MAY make a difference but BOTH parties have been duped by AIPAC for so long I don't expect an immediate end to my country's support.

Our aged soaps come to us unwrapped from the manufacturers in Palestine, and are restacked in towers, covered with a cotton sheet, in California and cured for a minimum additional one year. We then wrap them with compostable brown paper before shipping them to the customer.
Long-cured olive soap bars have two benefits over fresher bars: (1) the additional aging ensures that the bar is completely (99.9% or more) converted to sodium olivate, and (2) the moisture content is as low as possible resulting in a denser and longer lasting bar.
Sometimes misplaced soap bars are found after decades of passive aging at the soap factories in Palestine -- hidden in a desk drawer or fallen behind a piece of machinery -- and they are especially prized, with workers flipping coins or playing a card game to see who gets to keep it. Since pure olive soaps do not expire and become better with age, we bring a version of that cured bar experience abroad through these extra air-cured products.

Paul Chapman (Mount Vernon, US) I use Palestinian soap because it is mild and does not irritate my skin. Thank you
