Nablus Soap - The Two Keys (al-Mufftahein)

The Two Keys imprint is known for the generous size of its bars and its historic factory, which has preserved the traditional craft of soap-making for over 100 years.

Situated in the heart of Nablus, central to the Qaryoun historic quarter, the Tuqan Soap Factory has persisted through major changes in the city over the past century. The factory is owned by the Tuqan family, who were prominent figures and local rulers of Nablus in the 18th and 19th centuries. Their factory remains dedicated to producing traditional Nabulsi soap and stands as a testament to the city's rich economic and cultural history.

Approx. 5 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.
