 story and benefits of olive oil soap

For over a century, the Toukan family has been one of the champions of the Nabulsi soap makers and is still today maintaining the traditional craft in its original form. The formula for the soap is strikingly simple, a combination of virgin olive oil, water, locally supplied lime, and a basic sodium compound made by mixing the powdered ashes of the barilla plant, which grows along the banks of the River Jordan. The finished product is ivory-colored and has almost no scent.

Since the 14th century, Nablus has been the historical center of the soap industry throughout the region. A century ago, the city’s thirty Nabulsi soap factories were supplying half the soap in Palestine. The industry declined during the mid 20th century following the destruction caused by the 1927 earthquake 

Today, only two factories remain in production. 

The Tuqan factory is the oldest survivor of this once-prominent industry, and while business is no longer what is used to be, the factory continues to utilize traditional production methods to keep the industry alive.. The soap factory was registered in the Palestinian records in 1929 on the outskirts of the old city of Nablus, which is now the center of the city of Nablus and now owned by the heirs of Hafez and Abdelfattah Touqan. It began in 1872 ie its history dates back to nearly 140 years.
