Soap Project
Traditional olive-oil soap, handmade with wild herbs, using recipes passed down through generations.
Launched in 2021, the Soap Project revives a traditional Nabulsi-style method of soap-making — pure olive oil cured with wild herbs, hand-cut and boxed by our members. It's one of our steadiest earners, and about as direct a line as we've got from the olive harvest to something sitting on a shelf.
Every bar still does what we set out to do from day one:
