Made in Irbid, Jordan by the Masri family workshop. The Masri are a Palestinian family who have been the main producers of Nablus soap for the Jordanian market since before 1948.
Along with Camel and Two Keys, the Ostrich is one of the three oldest and most historic brands of Nablus soap. Their factory continues to use traditional methods of soap production.
This is my second order of soap, and I ordered extra so I can give some as gifts as well. It is well made and I use it every day. I wish all the best to the people who make this soap.

I love this soap!
The bars are large, and last a long time. Amazing soft lather, pleasant natural scent, no perfumes or dyes. This soap actually adds moisture to my skin! It’s a special and wonderful soap, and has become my favorite. I’m happy to support these Palestinian soapmakers and will be ordering again.

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.)
