workers in other factories: after a day of work, washes hands with soap and water
workers in this factory: after a day of work, rinse

All I have to say is...WOW! These guys work hard! We take so much for granted sometimes. It's fascinating watching them do this
ua-cam.com/video/mN9kjiBlrPc/v-deo.html
Such an incredible insight into the whole process from start to finish, such hardworking people.
God Bless them all!!!
Sir u too have a great UA-cam channel... Love to see your videos ... Love from India 🇮🇳
@@thespecialist9977 - Thank you very much for your kind words.
My Best Wishes to you from London.
Well, it's missing the whole part where they actually make the soap.
From start to finish if you exclude the part about making the actual soap.
Hardworking yes, but not working smart. There are so many ways to produce much faster and require less effort than what they are currently doing.
In case anyone is wondering, the soap is stacked after cutting, because it needs to "cure", or finish saponifying. This ensures that (a) the remaining lye in the soap has reacted with the olive oil, so it does not burn your skin (which would be _very_ bad), and (b) it lengthens the usable life and effectiveness of the soap. These bars are left in these "towers" for months.
It's soda ash, not baking soda.

Thanks homes!
@@aarontuplin it's Soda Caustic or Sodium hydroxide
They do it because they think its super super funny when someone sneezes and knicks them all over
The gentleman in the opening scene probably began there as a young man running the buckets down and up the stairs. Moved onto smoothing, then sweeping, marking out, on the mallets, cutting, wrapping then the brewing. Well done with dignity gents.
Right? There's something about seeing someone doing work that they're very good at that is very soothing. I'd love to visit the factory and watch this first-hand.
@@PDXGregor I currently make and sell soap and I also have a job that's very repetitive like this It's very soothing to have a repetitive job like that
The love of my life gifted me a bar of this soap after 4 years of watching this video. And im writing this to say to anyone else watching this to numb the pain or soothe themselves--- it gets better and the soapies will always be here in the meantime.
I have watched this video dozens of times over the years-- its so soothing to me, simple, ASMR-ish, just relaxing to see such beautiful work's fruition. I first saw it when I was about 16 and it helped so much with my anxiety-- I would watch it on loop to go to bed and would periodically return to it over the years, becoming obsessed about it and forgetting over and over. I am now 20 and in my first long term relationship--- as things became deeper between us we shared we both struggle with really intense anxiety and so showed him the soap video I would always return to just once. 2 months later I received my very first bar of this unreal bar soap from him out of nowhere-- he just remembered that I had always wanted one. Now I am putting the bar in our bathroom of the apartment we are moving in together soon.
Let me tell you that this bar lathers so nicely. It smells so pure and earthy, when I smell it I feel like I am in the Nablus factory with these men. I love it so much even though its a bit drying on my skin. xxx
very nice
❤️❤️
Good luck with the real world once you get a mortgage and a stressful job. You sound as soft as the soap....
@@OffGridInvestor lmao people with stressful jobs don’t have a variety of outlets? Don’t overextend yourself like this in public
@@OffGridInvestor I have both, and am also in graduate school. But I am glad to be soft and not let difficult things make me jaded. I am wishing you peace since you clearly need it from such a comment on me writing something nice on a soap video.
Can you imagine the beautiful smell in this place.
I don't wanna imagine. A bunch of middle eastern men sweating ?? Have you ever been to a corner store? Lol
That would depend on the fragrance, if any, they put in their soap. Maybe it just smells of carbolic.
@@manuelmorales5729 Manuel! lol we taught you hygiene you nasty piece of shit!
@@KLKLKLDUF no serious. Why don't middle eastern people wear deodorant? Is it against the religion or something?
@@manuelmorales5729 i have heard that Asian people don't use deodorant because they don't have smelly sweat
This is one of the most beautiful documentary videos I've ever seen. Their whole soap making process is unbelievable in this age. I loved watching this and appreciate that it was done without narration.
Back breaking hard work....I hope they are appreciated
well if no one in palestine smells, they are appreciated. They just don't get oscar's at the end of the year.
I agree. If it weren’t for people like this, we would not live as comfortable as we are.
think they never wash themselves.. haha
extremelly non-effective and chemically dangerous production
Ok. If they used gravity right then the guy mixing the stuff should be upstairs and then they just need a tube to let the soap go out onto the floor under it. Then they wouldnt need to carry the soap in buckets.
What craftsmanship, at every step in the process, including the guy with the lightning-fast hands wrapping them! 😳. It also strikes me that you'd have to be very accurate in the process of cutting the bars - not only to have a consistent weight per bar, but also to have perfectly straight sides so that they can be stacked in those drying-towers without toppling over. Amazing...
Greg Walker the Palestinians have perfected soap making so this wont be a problem
@@yousefogab7830 true. I'm just saying I'm fascinated watching them work.
I was just wondering why no one commented on them doing each line of cut by hand. That’s amazing. Many of these steps were fascinating but the line cutting...
Since they already made the lines I would think a long blade with some hammers would cut much faster you might need two people but it would be much faster.
Yes! it's so Awesome! their skill😍
I've watched this video a few times well, just admiring their work💜😅
7:29 When your soap tower starts misbehaving.....
Jyggs-IT 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
😅😅😅
Hahahahaha . What an eye!
😂😂😂 oh man
damn...such hard work for something we take for granted. I wanna buy one just to support their efforts!
I ordered a day ago and got it fast from amazon from here - www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00537QFK4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I ordered 2 bars. So many great reviews for this.
Natural olive oil soap is so good for your skin. That's all they used back in the day. Their skin and hair was flawless.
That is the most prejudiced and stereotyped statement I have ever heard.
@@Randyphx those workers get about $20 for an 8 hour day, so you almost paid for one worker... I'm not saying those workers don't appreciate it though, it's the unoficial minimum wage in palastine
It's now available on Amazon. Buy the one with the dominant blue logo on the wrapping. I visited this factory. The soap is wonderful!
I'm a soap maker, and let me say, I commend these men.....kudos to them for keeping their tradition!
hy I m Aj fm india give me some ideas for business . i m started new business so plz advice me
Ankit Jain regretfully I could not answer that for you, you'd have to go with your instinct and what would do well where you live
Nancy Rodriguez umm you are a soap maker but don't know that this cheese?? lol...FAIL
Nancy Rodriguez wrong title this is a Syrian Cheese factory
your both idiots, I've never seen cheese be scooped up in this manner nor get walked all over....smh....this is cold processed soap......further more soaps are not cured on a floor, Swiss cheese is cured in a mold on a shelf.....all cheeses are cured on racks.....smh
These guys need to implement a pulley system to get those buckets up and down the floors. Damn that has to be so painful on their backs.
A pump would be a far more efficient and effective solution...
That's Palestine.
That is their least worry.
At least they can earn money a like respectable people.
Sure let’s fire everyone
@@canaanitetv still got cutting to do ,stacking, and wrapping
@@Penguin_of_Death idk, keeping pipes hot enough not to have solidified soap seems difficult at their budget.
No matter what part of the world...no matter what the job....no matter how well of a life I may be leading....mad respect to those who work hard and honest to provide and fulfill their responsibilities.
1:47 I see the sadness in the eyes of that old man, carrying heavy weight on his back all day for some money. Be grateful of where you are born, never take anything for granted.
Here I'm crying for my acne......
@@shaiksadik2541 Have you tried this soap? Maybe it helps with you akne.
This country was one of the most beautiful . But war n israel made it worse
@@ausaf86 Last time i checked Gaza was firing rockets to civilian area of Israel. Almost every Palestinian i meet wants to destroy Israel but every Israeli wants peace.
@@kitsukeita oh wow r u talking bout the israel of our planet or some other galaxy.

Thanks for this video :)
Serginho Filho HAHAHAHA!! Great rundown
This video is genuinely amazing. They hammer in the brand with such precision!
This soap is made from olive oil in Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria and north of Iraq. it's useful for who's suffering hair loss
Wait, these men have hair loss already. Are you implying they don't use their own soap? Or maybe they would already be bald without it?
Can this Soup buy in Europe
@@sunniboi1000 yes you can. I've ordered it in Germany. Just watch online for Nablus Soap or Palestinian soap. This is really good soap made with only three natural ingredients, I will never use sham💩 and Co. again.
@@Der_Kleine_Mann Thanks thats fine . yes , thank you
Can you provide contact details to ask for supply.
Wow, I love how they have preserved the old way of soap making. I want to try this soap!
Ilia Harkins it’s highly overrated
I doubt it is an intentional "preservation" of the old way of soap making... More like a case of a 3rd World country where labor is cheap and machinery is expensive.
It’s on amazon!
@riyas m h I've been using it for a couple years now. It's legit. Maybe a little hard to get a good lather going but afterward there's nothing like it.
It has no scent :v
This was so inspiring to watch! I've learned so much in the short film. I salute them for working so hard to keep many people clean and fresh! Thank you for sharing.
Much respect for these gentlemen.
My god, what champions. Absolute legends.
that guy wrapping the soap is not fucking around
Wow ! That's amazing! I bet they are so tired when they finish working everyday. I've seen comments of people being so rude and judgmental but they are working this hard for money, to provide for their families and these days everyone is so use to having things handed to them. There is hardly any hard work don't these days and when you work hard like these people, you break a sweat and I'm fairly certain THERE IS NO AIR CONDITIONING !
Awesome job guys !
Dee Dee thank you! Very well stated
Dee Dee because you're a women so even when you get a job that does require some work you either say "that's a guys job" or just pretend you can't lift it. You're extremely out of touch if you think there's no hard work left. Go and be a chef for a month or a builder or any trade really and tell me how easy it is. Plenty of hard work left it's just only men who are expected to do it.
Very true. I ordered some of this soap they work so hard to make and got it in today. Talked to a few people from work that are from that region and they said the soap is great.I ordered it here - www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00537QFK4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Crazy thing it was $7.49 a day ago and now it's $8.99, but still worth it for the work they put into it. I'm happy.
I would prefer this job rather in an office. In here you can chat around and everybody there seems so friendly.
DeeDee, I'm glad you appreciate hard work, but as far as hardly anyone does hard work these days, I can assure you there are still many many people working very hard to earn a living, there's someone making and building everything, they just aren't people you know.
How can anybody not find this fascinating, I’ve just spent 30mins on Google finding out about where Nablus is, what of soap this is etc etc, I’ve learnt geography, history, botany and economics just because of see what they were doing and why, oh yes it doesn’t smell
This is amazing!!! I love how it’s all done by hand.
How come some people hate this?? It is beautiful.
ignorance
They don't bath ;)
Because 1) they got this in their recommendations randomly and 2) Nablus is a city in Israel.
curtsher11
Nablus is not in Israel. It is in westbank.
my back is screaming just from watching 5 min of this.
Western blue collar workers these days are pathetic. No wonder China is all over it.
Love these soaps! Have been using them for years.
The best quality!
extreme soaping! amazing the stamping and those curing stacks are so pretty!
Very interesting to see the hard labour that actually goes into a bar of soap. It makes me grateful.
makes me really appreciate how well paid I am and how "easy" my career is.
That's true
Makes me appreciate how spoiled we are, and how readily available soap, shampoo, actually pretty much anything that we need. So many people take soooo much for granted and would quit a job like this within the first few hours of the 1st day.
Thankyou for showing us the beauty of hard work. A wonderful tradition.
The reason why I got interested about this soap is that it cleared my skin for real. I had a horrible cystic acne, blackheads all over my nose, and post acne dark spots in short my skin was in the worst condition you could imagine. I tried everything natural masks, korean cosmetics , everything, but nothing helped even made it worse. It's been a month since I started using this soap and it's like a magic
Where do you buy this soap?

Thank you for posting this interesting video of a traditional soap making process.
These workers are so awesome to watch ..this is one of my favorite videos...hard work pays off with a good product
Amazing. I admire tradition. If we kept more of it , the world would probably be a better place. I ordered just to support
loved how he wrapped the soaps..so much of work for everyone though..
I bought some because of this video and it’s amazing. Highly recommend
This is some absolute backbreaking work!
Always a pleasure to watch people doing something useful.
thank you to show process :)
Well done, everything by hand!! A practically hand made soap!
This really is amazing... every bit of it. They are doing an awesome job. No machines, no chemicals, human efficiency at best. Even the wrap is natural. This truly is organic. Hats off to them. I never have appreciated any video so much. This whole thing takes you back in time. Love it. Wish I could be there.
If they used machines they would be able to make double or triple the amount per week and prevent back pain and long term problems like arthritis. The wrapping could easily be done by a machine and every worker there would still have a job to do but they would just be operating the equipment instead. This would not only increase their income for their families but make it to where they could expand their business.
What are you mean "no chemistry"? Actually chemistry - is exactly that process in result of which they got that liquid, later turned into a soap.
soap making is animal fat PLUS chemistry
@@rockwalldesign -- Actually, animal *or vegetable* fat. Traditional Castille soap olive oil, water, and lye (NaOH). Pretty simple to make... There's an online soap calculator that allows you to generate a recipe for different types and amounts of fats / oils.
www.soapcalc.net/calc/SoapCalcWP.asp
These are over 800 years old soap factories in the old town of Nablus in the west Bank, long live Palestine 😘😘😘
What is palestine
Long Live The Resistance

@elijahthesamurai fuck you! Israel the real terrorist!!
now i know why my soap had a Nike foot print on it.
your ignorant
Tammi Burk I find it funny you're nearly in every comment being a savage lol
Susan Tea yeah shes the soap expert
Bam Bam 😂😂😂
@kodona ha, ha, ha.....Zionist and their supporters can not handle the truth, as a result, they turn to attacking those who don't agree with their occupation, genocide, ethnic cleansing and Apartheid that they carry out agains the indigenous people of Palestine. Much like those before us who stood-up against slavery in the USA, and Apartheid in S.Africa, we expect ignorant uncivilized zionist and their ignorant blind supporters to attack us. Still we continue to stand on the right side of history and in solidarity forever with Palestine and the native people of Palestine. Palestine forever,...and mark my words, Palestine will be Free.
Simple and beautiful this is there art.
"Their"
This was wonderful. It's just like homemade soapmaking, but on a large scale. This may not be the way we make large quantities of soap bars in the most technological countries anymore, but if there's ever a disaster and we can't get soap or the complex automated factory machines, this is how we'll make it, the old-fashioned way by hand. Just like people everywhere in the world still do in their kitchen, but here on the scale of a commercial factory operation. Really fascinating to see. Everything they did made sense! And the process of an ancient soap factory probably looked just the same. The tradition continues.
5:48 I would love to know what these men are in conversation about, this is a wonderful video and showing us how traditional handmade soapmaking is done, they make it look like an art. I would love to travel to Nablus one day and learn from these hard working people.
This is art. The hard work involved is way too much for a commodity way too trivial but I am sure that these people love their art way too much for machines to let it run. I love this too. Such a therapeutic video too. Would love to buy a dozen or two of these wonderful soaps one day! :)
Honestly though the economics of it are not so bad that it’s not a good gig. Consider the overhead of modern machines, maintenance, parts on hand etc. The work is great for their health and actually maintains them better.
not everything is about money.... great to see people keeping the old tradition. respect please
Wow this is great men you have sharpened my skills.This time i will not strangle with making single bar moulds for my home made bar soap.God bless.
My great respect for you all.
It's not just great products.
But already a matter of the heart.
They are special people.
This is art .
I use these products every day.
I wish everyone peace and happiness in the production.
God bless you all !!!!
I think it is fascinating!!! See how fast he wrapped those bars
ACCELERATED VIDEO. LOL
I cannot imagine having to wrap a million soap bars by hand
Anarchy Aa
I have to slow the video down to .25 Speed to see how he does it!
how do you slow down a video?
Absolutely amazing. Amazing!
You guess are awesome, without any technology you are doing so precise & accurate and finally the guys who was packing that was the fantastic
I’m a big fan of the Palestinians 🇵🇸❤️
An ancient art! Beautiful!
I love this soap, I bring some everytime I visit Palestine. Love that country !
What hard working people! I enjoyed watching your process - thanks for sharing this 💜
Omg! He's so quick with wrapping soaps
Am Jewish but this are My personal heros, I think you are amazing, extraordinary , good work. Keep it simple, keep it classic, keep the quality. greetings from the other side ;)
Great of you. I am Hindu, Indian,respect. 😊😊😊😊😊🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝
Hard working job .. bless you all
Amazing. I’m from USA and I’m still amazed.
The most beatiful documentary!❤❤❤❤❤
Wow, this is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! 👏👍
I make soap at home, and have a project to start a business! 👍
Anyway, besides that, it's gorgeous to see those men so dedicated and skilled in their handcrafted job! 👍
Such hard work. Such respect for those guys.
Very cool video. I went and ordered Nablus soap after watching this
Quality handmade product. Thats something most can appreciate!
I think its cool, keep it traditional! When big corporations get involved sooner than later a great product becomes sub par I love it
For some reason I feel like biting the soap
Love seeing how things are made !
Love that wrapping parts.😊
Waaaaow! I love this!!!!
Wow. Now thats hard work.
Back breaking work and none of them young men. God Bless them.
We are soapmakers (Stoney River Soap Company), and I am just fascinated by this wonderful video. I've watched it three times in the past couple of years. Those guys work so hard. One thing that was skipped, though, was video of the men actually lifting the soap off of the floor. The man who is wrapping the soaps... I would lose all circulation in my legs sitting like that. This all looks so ancient, yet they do have UPC codes on the wrappers. All-in-all this is a classic.
Amazing to see how they make the soap there! wish i could wrap soap bars that fast! lol
Tell me the name of the soap
عنوان الفيديو معمل صابون نابلس بصراحه شغله متعبه وتتطلب مجهود كبير الى ان توصل للمنتوج الحقيقي الله يكون في عونكم
Such backbreaking work. These men work so hard. I hope they go home to a good meal and a massage. I salute you.
I don't why but this is so satisfying to watch.
It’s it just me, who mainly enjoyed watching the soap wrapping process 😊
The old guy at the beginning waiting for the other guy to move the full bin and then reposition the empty bin in front of him 😂😂😂
Great job I love it
No podía creer lo que veían mis ojos, gracias por compartirlo.
dont know how i ended up at this end of youtube, but its so satisfying to watch lol
Just watching this is hurting my back. After one row id need a perc lol
Love the video. God bless them and every hard working person. :)
That is a strenuous job right there...omg a lot of work 💯
5:13 its good to know that these guys are playing Jenga and working at the same time. 😁
Do they play Jenga when they get bored?
Stacked to dry and harden.
Respect brother for this work.
Incredible! What a really hard work, I would love to take a bath using that soap. Traditional soap recipe from Middle East. Thanks for sharing.
I bet they smell good when they come home from work
Yeah I doubt that, unscented lye soap making process doesn’t smell so good.
Smell like bubblegum machine.
Yes that right i'm going to that please it smael soooo goooddd
Tabitha no one
@@ThomasWLalor shut up
very interesting thanks
I watched this video and bought this soap. Month later it came in. Use it everyday!
Hermoso trabajo. Felicitaciones a todos !!.
