According to surviving records, the soap trade began in the region around the 10th century.
Small soaps made for home use by women in Nablus were distributed by the Bedouins in the 15th and 16th centuries to the nooks and crannies of the Mediterranean.
From there, we followed the path to Queen Elizabeth I of England.
Queen Elizabeth I raved about the soap, and it didn't take long for the beauty ingredient Nablus soap to spread among European women.
During the British rule (1920-1949), the British government conducted an analysis of the soap at the London Society in 1934 and gave it an endorsement that its ingredients were completely natural and chemical-free.
In the 1830s, British political economist and traveler John Bowring, who served as Governor General of Hong Kong, described it as "a soap of great importance in the Levant (the historical name for the eastern Mediterranean region)".
