The accuracy to hit every single soap bar with a label using a mallet is just insane.
I thought the soap was going to explode when the hammer hit it
They been doing it for many, many years.
That is what we call an art.
@The Alabama Guy you just had to show your ass didn't you?
The Alabama Guy ignorance. This comment chain was much better without your nonsense.
Just a correction as a soapmaker: they are using sodium hydroxide, aka lye as the base, not baking soda. it is scientifically impossible to make soap using baking soda since it's not alkaline enough. the error comes from the translation- he simply said they use "soda" in Arabic that in this case means (caustic) soda. and yes, all real soaps are made from lye- sodium hydroxide for soap bars and potassium hydroxide for liquid soaps. it may sound dangerous but they are completely neutralized during the saponification process.
just as I thought
Thank you for the insight good sir
No wonder I felt strange when he said baking soda
Excellent explanation. Thank you!
It doesn't sound dangerous lol
When I watch this kind of videos I feel certain kind of sadness. To see how the "modern" ways have destroyed centuries old artisanal ways of doing things. Is just not soap, is the tradition that will die.
Will the tradition die when he dies
Its funny thats being said, because if they could somehow get this into the US market,like new York or LA, they would make a killing! People would pay 20$ a bar easily in those places knowing its organic, made from hand and a centuries long tradition, omg the rich people there would EAT IT UP!
Im poor and im wishing I could buy it, I dont care if I did have to pay 20$ or even 30$ a bar. It could be my luxury soap 🧼 🥰
@@TheRubinator13 absolutely. Great thought
Exactly! That's why I use khadi soaps by khadi and village industries comission here in India.
Yea, worst yet is that the "modern" is shitty quality ... We're supposed to "progress" with quality not go back to shittier quality just because it faster money
I just washed my hair in a traditional Olive Oil Soup bar & its really calmed down my dry itchy scalp condition which various shampoos were all making worse, even the mediated ones. I still use conditioner on the rest of my hair, my my scalp only gets the olive soup, & finally my head is no longer on fire.
Honestly i would buy a whole pack of this soup just because of the history and tradition that goes along with it
Same
@@eliezercisneros2934 wait really?
Probably smells amazing too
@Jayne Ledger But you have to agree that it looks like the most delicious chickpea soup
Definitely.
These have got to be the best smelling men after a hard day of work....
lol, underrated comment
Lol righr😄
Goddess Love lol yeah, no kidding!
😄
Honestly, olive soap doesnt smell that much.
It is great for your skin though.
Hence why i like using it for shaving (old school, with a foam brush).
Can't help but feel massive respect for these guys. Keeping an old tradition alive and it seems like they really do love the craft.
I don't get it. They should just get a factory. It will be the exact same soap just a lot faster production smh.

Well that does not work in most cases.
@@pinktacokillah5287 Well it's slower
@@KILLRXNOEVIRUS yeah, I see what you mean, but machines cost a lot. Perhaps they could produce more, but I’d imagine it would be somewhat risky to take that leap

Ben E I never did, someone just agreed
@@onisan2659 sure...

My grandma bought one of these before. They didn’t irritate your skin whatsoever. And they were affordable for many. This is what you call good quality soap
It's not soap through the only reason soapworks is because it's made with lye which is acidic and that's what actually cleans your skin the other stuff is just there is a buffer to keep it from irritating your skin
@@TrollHiddenCave lye is basic
@@TrollHiddenCave also thats not how soap works
@@cc-bo7we I've made soap that is indeed how soap Works without the lie it's literally just a bunch of fat you're rubbing all over your skin
@@cc-bo7we if it's basic how come it can be used to dissolve bodies
I think, the price is worth the effort, value and the history of it..
I think everyone would be in agreement with you but in these countries people can't justify paying extra for quality when there's a cheaper alternative.
Buying this soap is a legitimate way of showing support for Palestinian people. #BuyPalestinianGoods #FreePalestine
Harganya berapaan ya mbak dijual nya itu ?
@@joshuawest4098 my aunts make them in my village in lebanon for our family I don't like to use it but lots of people shower with it
I totally agree....
I'm fortunate that this soap is sold in a few local stores. It has a very mild, creamy, lightly earthy scent. It leaves your skin soft and very refreshed. The remaining aroma is somewhat milky and leafy. It has the silkiest lather of any soap I've ever used and is very gentle, even on the most sensitive areas of skin. Highly recommend.
Do we get it online?
It would be nice if they also sell internationally online! For people with skin problem I am sure it is the best!
@@Rachelchel35 even if they want to do it, Israel won't allow them.
@@Rachelchel35but girls arent interested in soap like this tho
I don't have sensitive skin. I throw lye powder on myself and jump into a boiling pot of water every night. I'm as clean as a whistle
Too bad they can't export their product. Western and European countries will definitely buy their stuff.
Its available online. On ebay and Amazon.
@@JukuduB isn't the point of the soap to be against capitalist means? buying soap on amazon will literally just make the rich richer, and the child workers lower :)

@@mileslol8457 but there arent any child workers
It is, look for paliroots and nablus soup
Absolutely incredible that the soap is hand crafted throughout the rest of the process. Gosh that man wrapping the soap is working at quite a speed. Also so sad to see the old man still working so hard.
Jesus how pretty is that
😥😥😥😥❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏
But our current tradition exist by destroing another old tradition
@brudha osas tradition was like shedding a skin, old one will replaced or assimilated to a new one.
just wait, sometime it will be fast, sometime need thousands of years
And so hard on the knees at that age.
That mallet guy probably destroys the mole game at arcade.
HAHA HES COMING FOR THOSE WHACKAMOLES

Hahahha
You ur more big brain than dreammm
I watched this video about 2 years ago when it first came out and I finally just ordered this soap because my curiosity was driving me crazy. And you don't ever, I mean ever. See western products made like this. The fact it was poured on the floor, hand stamped and cut is just amazing. God smiles upon the people who make this
How was the soap and where did you order it from?
I was wondering too. How was it :)
You don't see western products made like this because western handcrafted products are nearing extinction. Same thing as is stated in this video - foreign made products of the same kind can be purchased in larger quantities for a lower price.
The decline of local artisans is a direct result of globalism and, to a lesser extent, capitalism.
@@Surms41 it is fantastic soap, already decided to reorder it when I need more.
How and where to order?
It's sad how many old trditions are going extinct. They're getting replaced by companies that value quantity over quality.
AND STOLEN BY ISRAELIS

I've been using this soap for over a year after making my own glycerine soap for decades because the Nabalus is far superior. It really is a great product
I just started using it. It’s great for my dry scalp and has helped with my dry skin. I don’t think I will ever go back to regular body washes or soap ever again!
For anyone curious this soap is actually really nice, has a nice distinct smell to it and cleans Alot better than normal bar soap you find in the shops.
I have used it on regular basis (don't have any at the moment) and I agree. Skin feels so clean after. Also, want to add that this bar of soap lasts much longer than your regular pharmacy brands.
Where can you get? Amazon?
@@anlewi1 Well im not sure how to do it online but my family travel to Palestine every now and then (before covid) thats how they got it and Then i got to use it since they brought a decent amount.
@@anlewi1 I get it in a grocery store that specializes in Middle-Eastern food.
@Spark ZuckerbumThat's right. This is pure soap made of 3 ingredients: lye, oil and water. By the people whose ancestors invented soap. Take a bar and wash the mud off your face and eyes that is preventing you to see :)
The soap that doesn't irritate your skin. God bless.
No soap does
Soap doesn't irritate your skin unless you're allergic/have some sort of sensitive skin.
@Huni asrr Oh that way. I thought they meant that they were scratching their skin.

2:49 i teared up when he said making the soap is keeping our grandparents’ legacy alive. one time when i was crying in front of my dad about the people & the home that was taken from us in palestine, my dad said “they will never take away our traditions, our our culture. we can live forever through our culture.” ❤️🤍🖤💚
beautiful comment
Palestine in our heart for ever
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Allah Almighty says: Whoever comes with a good deed will have the reward of ten like it and even more. Whoever comes with an evil deed will be recompensed for one evil deed like it or he will be forgiven. Whoever draws close to me by the length of a hand, I will draw close to him by the length of an arm. Whoever draws close to me the by length of an arm, I will draw close to him by the length of a fathom. Whoever comes to me walking, I will come to him running. Whoever meets me with enough sins to fill the earth, not associating any created things
(from imagination or man made ) divinity
with me, I will meet him with as much forgiveness.”
Just so you know Israel is not taking away the Palestinain Culture. If they did then they wouldn't be allowed to make soap. But Israel is a democratic country, so they did not do that
@@Israelball yeah right, democratic enough to stop them from ever exporting products. List one democratic country that do that
So it’s 1000 years old industry! And still can’t believe we were there before 1948😂 .
After watching this video, I bought this soap from Amazon. It’s truly amazing. My skin was so hydrated and buttery soft.
Also, the history is humbling and beautiful. Just knowing that I’m using the same exact soap that another woman a thousand years ago used is precious. I may live in a part of the world she never knew existed, and I may speak a different language. But it draws us together as sisters, and makes us members of the same human family.
Deeeep

@@aneria56df93 How so? From what I’ve read, their business was about almost dead until Amazon and other online markets substantially increased availability. You pay more on Amazon than you would directly because the price has been increased to cover Amazon’s cut. Everybody wins.

My family and I have used this soap for as long as I can remember, I love the natural smell and it really does leave your skin feeling squeaky clean, it’s such a shame that production has gone down substantially over the years which is why we’re not seeing as many of these bars on the shelf when we go to middle eastern markets in the US
if its just water, baking soda, and olive oil, why not remake them here in north america?

@@rainnmoon114 i don't know where did you get that information "some products are made with the blessing of their God etc" ... that's totally false. its just a normal soap :/
@@rexyfixy9342 It's not false at all. When it comes to religious products, sometimes they're blessed. It's important to know. That's why I don't eat halal food. I'm not knocking it though, I just know I can't eat it.
I bought this soap and one bar lasted almost two years. My husband uses it every day as a shaving soap. His skin looks wonderful too. Great job and Thank you.
Lmao not a chance. 😂
For a daily full body shower one bar lasts about 4 1/2 months tbh.
I bought my soap bar recently, but it's Aleppo soap, even better than just olive oil soap.
I use it daily for everything, shampoo, face, body, hands etc.
Only using it on my hair, I cut the soap bar into 4 pieces.
In 3 times only one small piece is almost already used up.
I thought it was going to last longer, but I am so amazed by the results it's OK if I have to buy more, I love supporting poor countries & hard working ppl who do traditional work that is the best
I think maybe at least for me 1-2 soap bars per month
I bought 1 soap bar for tops 2$ a piece
So it's even cheaper than buying the fake stuff from stores.
Found my Aleppo soap in Middle Eastern stores or South Asian stores.
You have to go to places where immigrants live
The saying “Quality over Quantity” fits this video.
Just because you can get more with much less doesn’t mean you should.

Just because it is handmade, doesn't make it "quality".

I make soap and I love it, you can be so creative.

Harvard Mulligan there a few different ways to make soap. Cold process is a good place to start. There are great soap making tutorials on u tube. Hot process is what you see in this video. I've made soap for many years now. It's really fun to make.

@@misterbonzoid5623 it is less than a dollar
It says in the video that export is difficult
They have to go over huge barriers just to export the amount the produce now! Also if they grow any bigger they can lose their life if targeted by IDF!
Exporting is almost impossible because of all the restriction put in place by the colonizer, "israel".
Just bought this on Amazon!!! Sooooo worth it. Leaves my skin so smooth! Never buying American soaps ever again!! So tired of the additives, perfumes, chemicals. Wish I found it sooner
I hope everyone is able to preserve and spread their culture and such traditions
I agree but sometimes we have to keep up with the flow/ world .. otherwise we won’t survive ... innovation has to be added to culture and traditions to keep them alive these days
@@MalluStyleMultiMedia yes,but this kind of tradition actually helps the world we live in, it helps with deforestation that's caused because of what "modern" soap requires, it helps with savings millions of living beings, and with pollution too since humans are the ones making it, there are only pros to this, though the workers might need some more help and we can use some good technology too, and everything would be great, only pros~

Reduce the quantum of olive oil to half...or replace olive oil with some other oil affordable to pocket...add some colour as well as perfume it... purely market demand!!
@@PC-so4lgcongratulations ,u just fucked up the soap for what it was know for.
@@ra-wj1wl right? lol 😂
Aameen
@@PC-so4lg You can’t really reduce the oil, because it would just result in less soap. Replacing some of the olive oil would result in an inferior product. Every oil produces different qualities in a soap. For example: coconut oil creates great lather, but also adds drying properties, which is why it’s never used exclusively in a soap recipe. Olive oil has one of the most moisturizing qualities out their. Try to find comprable oils, and you will start branching out into rare and expensive cosmetic oils. Their’s still lots of demand for pure olive oil soap, because it’s simply the best. The problems come when delicate markets get flooded with inferior trade products. The people will end up paying for it anyways, with diluted economic buying power.
Yes , they are making artisanal soaps - they should charge alot more.

I would definitely buy it if it was available in the states or online.
It is available u can google it
@Elizabeth Female please give the link!
It’s on Amazon look for the brand Nablus
You can make it. Every 100 grams of olive oil requires 12,5 to 13 grams of lye dissolved in 50 grams of water. Depending on the oil you use. Start with the 12,5. Like it? You're done.
Too greasy and sticky? Next time use 13.
Start with a small batch of 200 of 300 grams of oil.
Use the cheapest oil you can find. It contains the most insaponicable elements and that is good for the skin. No need to use extra vergine. That is for salads!
Let it cook (simmer) in a bain marie, or in a slowcooker, for about two hours on low heat. Use a mixer to speed up the process. If it becomes too thick, add a little water.
Poor it in a silicon cakemold, and in a few days you will have this exact soap.
Take it out, slice it, allow that to dry. Weigh it to see when it stops evaporating water. Then you can use it.
It is safe to use after two hours of cooking and a day in the mold, but it will wear more quickly if it is still too wet.
Good luck!
@Eagle Eye ty
Awesome! Hope the soap will continue for another century at least!!
There’s only 5 comments in 1hr!!
Probably will not continue past the end of the year

For those talking about the man walking on the soap with shoes, it is surely shoes made for this.

@Calpurnia L not because any other reason, it's just hard even for men to work there, same with other labor job. I can't picture myself working there, how about when I'm pregnant or on period, that's just too hard. Labor work is hard when I'm on period because I always have cramp, badly. And now I'm pregnant and doctor told me to bedrest..
@Calpurnia L quite possibly the dumbest reasoning I've ever heard
@Calpurnia L you'll help the women that are married to these men
@Calpurnia L hahaha, you should study biology and Islam more my darling. Because of hormonal issue, sometimes not always, it's fact that women can't function that well during pregnancy & on period, not the brain function, but the body is weaker. We talk about labor work here, ok, not brain work. I'm married and pregnant and I am a CEO of a digital marketing agency. Just because me and my team working from home 100% doesn't mean I'm not capable working. I just (think personally) that I can not work with my muscle better than man, maybe because I'm thin, idk your friends who work "hard" Maybe they are strong whatever. But personally, you can disagree, I am more all in for women to work with our brain, in that sense, we are on par with men 😁 oh and btw, the morning sickness is so hard for me, I can throw up until 5 times a day, alhamdulillah I run my own business from home so nobody in my team should know that I throw up badly
I buy their soap on Amazon all the time and their soap is literally way better than commercial brands. I’ve been using their soaps for a year now and literally never felt fresher!
Waiting for Israel to steal the Recipe, arrest these workers for "Terrorisim" or just existing on God Promised Land to Israelis Only.
Coming to a market near you authentic Dead Sea Olive Soap, Sabra Soap, Chosen Soap, Promised Soap made in Israel for hundreds of years the traditional way.
Which brand is it plz?
Original Al Jamal Soap Bars
I have nothing but respect from these people. I hope they stay in business for years to come
I just ordered some from Amazon. Will be trying it tonight. Sick of everything we have here in the US having chemicals in it. Screw the big corporations.
Old tradition is expensive. But it's a luxury and art at the same time. I'd buy it if It's available here😢
I saw somewhere that they sell in Amazon
Its on Ebay. Type in the ebay search engine "Nablus soap"
I want this soap desperately.
After they've been stepping all over yourself and then you rub it on your face and skin?
@@johhnyhoward6256 i watch dr mike youtube,he soap is a self cleanse item. So means after you rub to your feet, you don't need to wash it just to put in your face.
@@mrsdin3739 U can buy it on Amazon. Just type 'Olive Oil Nablus Soap' and you'll find it.
@@johhnyhoward6256 yes why not ?
Baking soda does not saponify oil. It's caustic soda, otherwise known as lye. Completely different chemical compound.
Are you sure ? Isn't that why their method is slower?
@@alisonnorcross951 its not slower. Soap takes at least 12 hrs to solidify
@cici possibly. But they should have done their research before publishing this. 😉
Fala Sakari I thought it didn’t seem chemically right. And then when he said baking soda was expensive, I thought, really?
True, and it's probably just the translation that messed it up.
Good soap.
I grew up in Brooklyn and my parents used this soap. The smell is relaxing and really feels great on the skin
Guys, they use caustic soda (lye/ sodium hydroxide, that's what's written on bags), not baking soda. Lost in translation.
Is caustic soda bad?
@@fredo226 Well yes and no.
It's a caustic salt and on its own can burn your skin or eyes.
BUT it's pretty much what is used in nearly all soap and is completely harmless after the saponification process.
The only bad thing is the misinformation, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO MAKE SOAP WITH JUST BAKING SODA.
@@QuackZack I bought 2 bars of soap!!! Supporting them.
@@fredo226 its not bad, it's what they use to make all the hard soap in the world.
It's the science of turning fat into soap, look up saponification. Just because it sounds dangerous doesn't mean it is 🙄 this is how all hard soap has always been made, and wouldn't work if you didn't. Then it would just be oil and not cleaning.
Buy this and support palestine 🇵🇸
Years ago, i used to have allergy. This soap really helped
I’d buy this soap exclusively just because of the amount of time and quality you’re getting out of it.
we have this kind of soap at my dad’s home in jordan (our family moved to jordan when we were pushed out of the golan heights area) ❤️ god bless u palestine i love u 🇵🇸 one day we’ll come home
Is there a way to order on line?
Do U know how make that I wondering if U can Shaw as
I appreciate the hardwork. Thanks for sharing this traditional soap making process.
I've never heard of a soap made without lye. In fact, most soap-making forums really stress that it's not possible to make soap without lye. I'd love to learn more about this baking soda and olive oil soap and how it works :)
Its isn't possible. Likely a mistake by the one speaking.
@@stephcoons2301 Probably; They confused sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) for sodium hydroxide (lye).
Then again I maybe wrong. Baking soda is a alkali just like lye. Maybe i will react just as well with the acids in olive oil.
yeah this is just a bar of fat
They refer to "lye" as alkali "soda" that is the name in arabic for sodium hydroxide ( lye)
The translator has slept through his chemistry classes lol
@@Sunrisesp ahhh well that makes sense now. Thanks for sharing x
So wonderful that they are keeping the tradition alive.
This soap have really good potential if there were no restrictions from isreal
The restrictions they are talking about is not moving around but the high tax's that everyone in Israel need to pay .
@Saudi King Volintine Ander of Arabia I'm sad that maybe what you said is a possibility but good for you for not giving a stupid answer
What are you talking about? This guy mentioned his soaps are mostly bought by Israelites, and the only problem is globalisation competition. Have you watched the video at all?
I don't know. Looks kind of unsanitary to me. No gloves & the soap comes in contact with the guy's sneakers.
TARAs LOCALiNSPIRATION just buy two bars and rub them together
God bless everyone that makes the soap in the factory! I hope they never close it because it is the best soap on Earth. I've tried many other soaps and my skin would be so dry and cracked. I would be scratching all over practically uncontrollably. I pray they never go out of business. I pray that their family follows in their footsteps and makes the soap for the world. A bless them every day and every night. If I had to tunnel under to get that soap, I would do it. My son and myself enjoy using the soap and price is not a barrier for the quality natural soap that they produce. I'm gladly pay roughly $8 to $9 for each bar. I faithfully order the soap and quantities of four or more.
I began ordering this about 5 years ago when seeing an article--trust me, it's worth ordering, it's wonderful, luxurious soap. You will never feel more clean. I usually order 6 bars at a time for about 35 and stay stocked. Support this business!
Link?
@@Automedon2 They were advertising a specific one when there’s multiple brands. If you read it properly you’d realize that
I hope every Palestinian happy and safe to do their religion and culture.
Not the gay ones, so thx for your prayers.
@@Lis.H. for a good reason
It's no such Palestinian. They are Arabs.get inform.
@@glo8778 LOL you can’t change my identity I’m Palestinian forever 🥰
@@glo8778 what the hell are you an american saying this ? im lebanese, i speak arabic but im lebanese. there is no country called arab where all the arabs live.
This soap cured my skin back to where i wanted it to be! Years of stress caused such bad texture and this helped so much.
They need to expand their clientele base. Export that to rich countries with a mark up.
They not allowed.
What I am always concerned about is the exploitation of the actual workers...how well are they being paid..yes people mark up..give very little..it would be nice if people give that actual amount if they really cared about Palestinian people...most think all that money is going back to the 'cause' it's all manipulation and exploitation of thoes who are actually gaining from it..
Israel didn't allow Palestinian to export.
@@mirmir9368 what???
@@fdpcompdm didn't watch the video?
Even normal people still keep this tradition. My best friend is from Nablus and her mother (though Jordanian) still makes this soap to this day 💕💕💕
How its made at home? I would like to try to make one
@@rakhshindah.shamshad I would love to know how to make it too 😅😅 sorry I don't know how either
Palestinians and Jordanians are the same people t
@@bigmanz6708 not exactly. a lot of jordanians are palestinian in origin but there are jordanians who are actually jordanian, and their ancestors were bedouin
I immediately bought two bars after watching this video! To support them, and because it's so pure/handmade. Can't get better than that.
Can you give me the link from where you bought it ?
Where can buy this in Singapore
@@nisharifaya594 Amazon
@@jin8339 thankyou
Wow! Beautiful and necessary craft. Thank you for sharing.
I love this!! "We are preserving our grandparents legacy by continuing to use the old ways to cook the soap."
May your company grow in leaps and bounds in years to come.
Hatsoff to the hardwork and love from India❤️❤️
If I was a billionaire, I'll buy the company and help them export...
. . . they won't sell a traditional business like that to an outsider, no one would
I wouldn’t buy their company, it would mean stealing what’s theirs through bribery especially if you aren’t Palestinian. I’d give them the funds to be able to build another factory wherever they wanted
@Mohan Sandal You don't know what op does. At the very least op had kind words and good intentions. You didn't even provide that.
Nablus leaves my skin feeling hydrated and smooth. I was skeptical about it but I have bad skin through genetics and after the 1st use I could tell the difference from my Irish spring soap. Leaves no smell behind. Definitely try it. Yes you do have to work it harder.
I can just imagine someone accidentally knocking over the towers of soap over
Well i guess if they slipped ha
U will get wip, and ask your name.
@@stripecatflippangitnamecha8721 better than getting fired
Why not imagine better things :)
back-breaking work.....really appreciate the amount of effort that goes into making these, just bought a few for myself today!
Hay 👏👏👏
This kind of handmade traditional product deserve more attention
Ppl rather get more for their money
This soap is absolutely awesome. Since I found out about it 2 years ago, I use nothing else but this soap for cleaning the whole body. No more plastic waste, and no more chemical stuff.
I can feel my skin smoother and healthier just watching this. 😊💕
I bought this soap before and I decided to purchase it again before I finished watching this video
Where can I buy this ? I would love to try
v v someone else said Etsy
