Great soap! Moisturizing but also cleans well. Nice silky texture. Has a pleasant natural smell, appreciate that it's not fragranced.

Silky smooth, Al-Shamaa is our newest olive oil soap and one of the finest soaps we have ever sold or touched.
Produced by the Abu Seir family exclusively from Palestinian olive oil from their orchard, this is the first batch sold outside of Palestine from their historic brand.

Doesn't dehydrate or make my skin oily. A few years ago I purchased small batch goat milk and olive oil soaps in Greece, which did wonders for my skin. When I ran out, this seemed like the next best option. And the soaps have been excellent! I have too many sensitivities to ingredients and toxins in my local environment, so these soaps have been a tremendous help. Very grateful that this artisanal tradition has continued and the products can be purchased here. (I've purchased almost every type of soap from this vendor.)
I think I bought one of each bar. Absolutely great. Loved the almond one especially. I’ll be purchasing more once I need to re-up Insha’Allah.
