Sabane al-Toukan - The Two Keys (al-Mufftahein; المفتاحين)

Pure olive oil soap, made using traditional methods by one of the oldest soapmaking workshops in Nablus, in Palestine.

Cooked in the traditional style out of olive oil, water, and soda, resulting in a soda-less bar of pure saponified olive oil. This bar has a very creamy lather (not sudsy like many commercial bar soaps), which I find to be very gentle on the skin. I even use it on my face. The soap has a very delicate scent of olive oil, but no added fragrance. It is an honor to be able to help share and uplift this beautifully sustainable artistry.

I will not be keeping any funds from the sale of this soap, all revenues will be sent directly to a network of mutual aid funds to help support the needs of ordinary people in Palestine during this devastating time. Thank you for being a part of this effort with me!

nourishing facial balm
from $24.00

Delighted to announce a subtle formula update: our nourishing facial balm now features oil infusions of organic calendula from Vermont, sustainable frankincense from Somaliland, and propolis from Pennsylvania, adding layer upon layer of restorative goodness to this cornerstone of our botanical skincare collection.

To moisturize, smooth a very small amount over skin after cleansing and toning. This balm is especially lovely for use overnight.

To use as a cleansing balm, massage a small amount into dry skin. Place a warm, damp cloth over your face and inhale deeply. Repeat this several times, refreshing the cloth each time in warm water, before gently wiping the balm away. This method pulls impurities from the skin without stripping away moisture, and the gentle warmth allows the botanicals to be absorbed readily.

6 gram or 14 gram twist top light-protective glass jar

ingredients: sunflower oil*, coconut oil*, local beeswax, argan oil*, sesame oil*, shea butter*, rosehip seed oil*, pomegranate seed oil*, local honey, calendula extract*, rosehip extract*, sea buckthorn extract*, jasmine extract*, essential oils of helichrysum*, frankincense*, neroli*, wild carrot, wild chamomile, rose otto*, local bee pollen, propolis and royal jelly, non-gmo vitamin e (organic*)

This balm is very gentle and is full of soothing botanicals, but as with any product that's new to you, try a small patch test first to ensure its compatibility with your skin. As with all products containing essential oils, please consult your doctor before use if you are pregnant or nursing.
