The Camel / al-Jamal, made in the Shaka'a family-owned workshop in Nablus, is the most iconic imprint of Nablus soap --- often people refer to 'al-Jamal soap' to mean Nablus soap in the same way that people talk of Jacuzzi for hot tubs or Xerox for copy machines. Its main market is in southern Palestine around Hebron. The imprint took its mascot from the camel trains used to carry in qilw soda ash and olive oil to Nablus from neighboring countrysides.

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.

Araceli Al-Aboosi Lopez (Detroit, US) I am almost done with my first bar soap.
I cannot say I’ve seen improvements on my skin, since I don’t really have issues with skin, but just knowing I am using something way more natural than everything else in the store and that comes from a good place, with regular hr/hr workers, and is made the traditional way, makes me go back and keep buying from them

Joe (Miami, US) I’m sorry to leave a negative review but I keep getting emails asking me to leave a review. I hadn’t had eczema on my legs since I was 6, and at age 32 after using this soap for two months, I gradually started getting eczema spots all over my legs. I stopped using the soap but since they were already triggered they aren’t going away. Dermatologist couldn’t fully confirm that it was definitely from the soap, but agreed it was eczema. I purchased 5 to support, but will be donating them as they are too harsh even for a hand soap. I read that olive oil can disrupt the skins natural oils but imagine baking soda or cleaning agent can do the same for sensitive skin.
