Collection: Tripoli, Lebanon

Dating back to the 14th century, soap-makers in  Tripoli, Lebanon have been tirelessly carrying on the traditional olive oil soap-making methods. We are excited to share with you the craft of the Awaida family, who have been passing down their tradition for over 140 years. 

Tripoli has been a renowned center for olive oil soap production since at least the 14th century, with the craft flourishing under various cultural influences, including Phoenician, Ottoman, and Arab traditions. The city's historic Khan al-Saboun (Soap Khan), established in the 17th century, stands as a monument to this rich heritage.

The soap is meticulously crafted using the hot-process method, combining pure olive oil, water, and lye. This technique ensures the preservation of the oil's natural moisturizing properties, resulting in a soap that cleanses gently while nourishing the skin. Free from synthetic additives and fragrances, it's suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
