From the lands of the Fertile Crescent comes one of the Mediterranean and Near Eastern world's enduring botanical traditions. Wild pistacia, known locally as bittim, has been valued across generations for its distinctive character and traditional use. Combined with pure olive oil, this soap pays homage to the ancient landscapes between the rivers.

Journey to ancient Antioch, one of the historic soapmaking capitals of the Mediterranean world. Centuries of artisanal heritage inspire this traditionally kettle-crafted botanical cleanser. Expertly crafted in small batches by master artisans with nearly 40 years of experience, this natural bar combines pure wild pistacia (Pistacia Vera) bittim oil—revered for generations across eastern Mediterranean traditions for scalp and skin hair care—with our food-grade virgin olive oil base for deep nourishment, scalp soothing, and purifying skin balance.

Traditional hot-process soaps naturally have a higher alkaline pH. To protect your skin barrier, extra un-saponified botanical oils and wild pistacia bittim extract are added at the final stage of our kettle brew. This leaves an ultra-thin, protective lipid layer on your skin post-rinse, preventing tightness and locking in
essential natural moisture without chemical pH balancers.

Rich in naturally protectivepolyphenols,resinous compounds, and essential fatty acids, bittim oil works in total synergy with our foodgrade virgin olive oil base. When superfatted into our hot-process kettle brew, these nutrients penetrate the scalp to clear build-up without stripping protective lipids, soothing irritation and nourishing skin cells from head to toe.
