Olive Oil Soap

olivesp Aseela Women's Cooperative was established in Bethlehem in the fall of 2004 by a group of 13 women. The Cooperative is an innovative entrepreneurial project that aims to empower Palestinian women to generate income for families in refugee camps. Aseela produces high quality olive oil soap in the Palestinian tradition. For the past millennium, Palestinian women would save portions of their olive harvest to create olive oil soap. This tradition can now be accessed by the world through cooperatives like Aseela. Olive oil soap has many health benefits as it is filled with many vitamins and minerals, and is unlike any other soap in the world.
