palestinian soap cooperative / nablus soap - the tiger

Nablus Soap - The Tiger (al-Nimr)

The Tiger brand hasn't been produced in decades, and hasn't before been sold outside of Palestine. It's the first brand the cooperative has been able to help get started again, and the Canaan family's factory is smaller than other soap manufacturers in Nablus.

Anwar Kanaan Company was established in Nablus, Palestine, in 1952 as a leading olive oil soap manufacturer. They are an old family business whose soap production dates back as far as historical documents can reach. While over the years the company has developed olive oil based skin care products, laundry wash, and liquid soap, their focus remains on producing traditional Nabulsi soap.

Approx. 4.8 oz per bar - sold individually.

INGREDIENTS

Cooked in the traditional style out of olive oil, water, and soda, resulting in a soda-less bar of pure saponified olive oil.

CARE

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.
