The original Castile!

What an amazing, luxurious bar of soap! I was so blessed to test out this bar all the way from Palestine and their beautiful olive trees. It was so worth the wait. God bless you all and this soap is the best!

The Candle (al-Shamaa; الشمعة) a Fantastic Bar of Nablus Soap!

When they say in the description that it is one of their finest bars of soap; they are indeed right on the mark! The packaging itself is a work of art... Opening the wrapper revealed a very serious (generous sized) block of soap. Classic neutral, clean scent yielding a very rich lather. I would say the best yet! A worthy addition to their product lineup.

Eczema and allergy relief!

This creamy bar cleans and moisturizes skin and hair with zero irritation. I’ve developed allergies to chemicals in even “natural” and high-end shampoos, and the candle soap is soothing while leaving my dry hair fuller, softer, shinier. No need for conditioner. If I could only have one beauty product, this would be it. Thank you, Abu Seir family!

So glad I kept the soap wrapper to buy again

I’ve been using Palestinian soap for a number of years and have tried nearly all of them. The latest one was so luscious and creamy. I’m so glad I kept the wrapper for future identification and that marvelous soap is The Candle.

Feels like lotion and soap in one!

The best soap I've ever used, it produces a TON of lather from a small amount, the block is easily twice the size of the average soap bar, and makes my hands feel smooth as silk afterwards. Cannot recommend enough, I'd give six stars if I could.

All the soaps are great!!

Support Palestine, give body a healthy soap, get an excellent product no matter which soap you pick. I’ve about bought them all at least once and each one has been excellent. As advertised, the soap is scent free but still has a faint ‘clean” smell. I prefer the almond soap and the candle and the tiger soaps, but all are pretty much the same. I recommend the Palestine collective to everyone interested in good soap and/or supporting Palestine.

Love these soaps!

Received the Nablus soap box as a gift and loved them all. I’ve since purchased the Almond, The Tiger, Two Keys, The Candle and The Ostrich. Each one was 10/10. My next soap to try will be one of the Laurel soaps but I will keep ordering the Nablus because I love how it cleans and doesn’t dry out my skin.

My Search is Over

After years of trying different bars this is the only soap I use now. The best for sensitive or dry skin, and as clean ingredient wise as you can get.

Clean, mild olive oil soap is the best

This soap is for those who want a clean product, free of harmful chemicals and a soap that is mild but still cleansing. I will be giving these as gifts for my friends and relatives.

Beautiful soap

My first time using an olive oil-based soap, it lathers great and works well to maintain moisture on my eczema prone skin. I would recommend!

Never got my soap

I showed up during business hours to a closed store, called and left emails over multiple days to no response. Wasted 20 bucks on soap I never got

Best bar soap you can buy

I love this soap. I have bought so much of it I personally use it as well as share with friend who have also enjoyed it. It cleans well but doesn't strip the skin. It smells wonderfully clean. Minimal ingredients & it's non-toxic so I feel good about using it .I also want to continue supporting a community of generational Craftsmen that make an honest product..

Wonderful soap, been gifting it to friends and family and they all comment on the great quality of the soap and how gentle it is on their skin. The people at the Cooperative are so friendly and very accommodating. I will continue to support this wonderful organization and its mission, and will continue spreading the word to family and friends.

Amazing soap.

It’s all you need and all I use. It’s pure olive oil turned into soap, what more could you want :) and, anything we can do to support this ancient craft in Palestine. ❤️

Don't think I'll ever buy supermarket soap again

Placed another order after using this soap for a year. For someone with allergies this soap is really the best.

Wonderful soap!

I tried this soap for the first time a few years ago, and it quickly has become my favorite. I love that there are only a few ingredients. All the soaps we've tried from this company have been great. Definitely worth the money.

Wonderful, simple, affordable - Support Palestinian Businesses

I regularly order from PSC for my own use - the scent free solid, long lasting bars are perfect. I also often buy bars to give a small gifts to folks I work with and friends and I pass on the Insta handle. Continue the great work.

Wonderful!

I have tried 2 other soaps from this cooperative and this is one of my favorites. It is so luxurious, it leaves my skin feeling buttery soft and moisturized while creating a rich lather which leaves my skinned feeling deeply cleansed and nourished. I look forward to my shower routine simply because of adding these soaps to my routine. I will purchase these for life!
