Nablus Soap; the soap of choice for Queen Elizabeth


Nablus soaps have been exported across the Arab world and Europe since the 10th century. 


Long reputed to be a fine product made from olive oil, water and a sodium compound they are almost scentless which is a characteristic that is regarded as a sign of its purity. 


The number of factories have declined from a peak of thirty in the 19th century to only 2 today.


 It was reportedly the soap of choice for Queen Elizabeth I and she only allowed Nablus soaps to be used in the palace. It has been used by royalties for centuries - wikipedia
