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.

Ingredients

Virgin olive oil, water, and sodium hydroxide.

Dimensions

Average 4.8 ounces per bar.

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.

I love my soaps!

I love my soaps! I bought 2 of The Camel, 2 of the Two Keys, 4 of The Land, 2 The Olive, and 2 Marseille. I've used about 6 so far. As hand wash soaps and as bath soaps. They are moisturizing but don't leave any residue. They feel so good and they foam up pretty well. Will for sure be ordering again when I run out. Keep up the great work! Love from Texas🤎

Wonderful soap!

I have very sensitive skin and eczema, this soap is soothing and non irritating, unscented except for smelling clean and fresh, very nice.
