This green liquid is what olive oil soap looks like before it hardens.

Workers follow centuries-old techniques to handcraft nearly 8 million bars every year at this factory in southern Turkey.

Handmade olive oil soap isn't only found here.

It's still made in Lebanon and the West Bank.

But the craft is under pressure,

as industrial soap factories are squeezing out artisanal producers.

Now in a shift, demand for more natural bath products is bringing some of these workshops back to life.

In Ghaziantep's Nizip district, some shops export their bars to 25 countries around the world.

So what does it take to make olive oil soap by hand?

And how is this craft still standing?

Dr. Olu Soaps is one of the largest producers of handmade olive oil soaps in Turkey.

We will make the beauty of the natural oil in a way to clean the oil.

Erhan's grandfather started this factory in 1965,

and today it makes 8 tons of soap daily.

The process of making these bars begins in fields like this one across Turkey.

Here, olives are hand-picked from November to March.

The first press extracts extra virgin olive oil,

which is expensive and typically reserved for food.

The leftover pulp is pressed again to produce parmesan oil.

This is what soap makers use as their base.

They boil it at nearly 180 degrees Celsius in these tanks,

that are heated by steam instead of a direct flame.

The mixture also contains trace amounts of palm oil.

The third key ingredient is caustic soda,

which causes the fat in the farmer's oil to break down and turn into soap.

After two days of boiling in these 20-ton tanks,

the mixture thickens into a smooth, glossy paste.

Then, workers prepare for the next step,

pouring the hot mixture onto the floor.

They cover the surface with thin sheets of paper.

It's a good thing.

Emin has been doing this for over 40 years,

so he knows how dangerous this step can be.

It's a good thing.

If you put your hands on it, it's a good thing.

I'll be careful with your eyes.

Workers guide the flow until it's evenly distributed across each row.

Before it's not broken, you need to stay here at night.

One night.

That overnight rest allows the soap to cool,

settle and begin to harden.

It's one of the many steps in the process that can't be rushed.

So for workers like Emin,

being patient is part of the job.

Workers sweep the surface and scrape away any excess material before cutting begins.

And the leftovers don't go to waste.

They're used in the next batch.

For this step, they wear soft leather shoes called meshed.

They are handcrafted right here in Nizip and prevent the craftsmen from slipping or carrying dirt onto the soaps.

Cutting is a team effort.

They use a simple farming tool called a harrow to slice the soap into cubes.

A physically demanding task.

You're sitting and sitting and sitting.

That's why it's a difficult job.

I've done this job.

But I've done this job.

I've done this job.

Every movement is precise.

They cut each row, called a mashara,

into roughly 1,400 to 2,500 soaps.

Next comes stamping the bars with Dr. Olu's logo.

This is a brand of brand.

Umar has been doing this for 18 years.

These days, it takes him under 10 minutes to stamp one rope.

This is the same as I'm young.

This entire floor is covered with soaps that have dried to the perfect consistency.

And once they cut it,

the smell of olives really hits you.

Soap has been around in some shape or form for thousands of years.

Some of the earliest versions date back to ancient civilizations like Babylon and Egypt,

where people mixed fats with ash to create a basic cleansing substance.

Olive oil soap came later around the 10th century,

in cities like Aleppo and Nablus,

which have remained at the center of the craft even to this day.

By the 19th century, towns like Nizip,

where olives grew in abundance,

had established soap workshops, reflecting a growing local industry.

Olive oil soap was no longer just a household item.

It became a traded good.

But in the 20th century, production methods changed.

Industrial soaps and synthetic detergents began to take over.

These products were faster and cheaper to make and didn't require months of drying or skilled manual labor.

The rise of liquid soap added another challenge.

It was seen as a more convenient and seemingly more hygienic alternative,

shifting everyday use away from bar soap.

But these mass-produced products can contain around 20 ingredients,

including synthetic fragrances and coloring agents.

while the formula for handmade olive oil soap has remained simple.

Just olive oil, water, and caustic soda.

Today, as consumers look for more natural products,

these bars are finding a global market once again,

especially among those with sensitive skin.

And that's helping traditional soap makers in Lebanon and Palestine.

These places are widely considered the birthplace of olive oil soap,

with some workshops dating back a thousand years.

But decades of conflict in the region,

even till today, has hurt the industry.

100

While the West Bank once had nearly 40 workshops,

101

Al Shaka soap factory is one of 15 still operating.

102

We visited it in 2020.

103

Here, workers don't have hoses to spread the soap,

104

So they carry the boiling hot liquid one bucket at a time.

105

Then they individually measure and mark the surface before cutting.

106

Bars from Nablus are more expensive because ingredient costs are higher.

107

When someone comes to buy three bottles of soap,

108

they find five bottles of soap in Turkey or Chinese.

109

And in all the different types,

110

they take five bottles of soap.

111

Over in Lebanon, Masbanat Awaita is also one of the last soap makers operating in the region.

112

Here, workers use powdered soap flakes instead of paper to keep the liquid from sticking to the cement.

113

They bring buckets back and forth from the tanks about 700 times.

114

It takes three hours to cover the floor with one batch of soap.

115

Before cutting, they mark the boundaries by soaking this cord in dye and stretching it across the floor.

116

Back in Turkey, museums like this one play a role in telling that story.

117

This 400-year-old building was once a working soap factory.

118

Now it attracts thousands of visitors a year.

119

Each room reflects a different stage of the process,

120

from the initial molding and cutting to the finished bars.

121

These are the artists who are very skilled and skilled in the art of the artists.

122

This kind of craftsmanship still exists in traditional soap factories today.

123

And even as methods evolve,

124

the need for soap hasn't changed.

125

That's what Dr. Oluz is counting on to keep its factory going

126

and the people who are interested in the interest of their interest.

127

They are more beautiful for us.

128

We are here for six months.

129

We are here for six months.

130

Each dome holds about 7,500 soaps.

131

The design allows air to circulate evenly around every bar.

132

So as you can see,

133

every soap has some space between it and this is also empty in the middle.

134

Over time, you can see the transformation.

135

As the soap dries and ages, it actually changes color.

136

This stack is a little lighter in color.

137

This has been aging for a few weeks now,

138

whereas this one is brand new,

139

and it has this deep olive oil color.

140

It's one of the clearest signs the soap has been made the traditional way.

141

Drying it for six months gives the soap its hardness and its shelf life.

142

In terms of the product,

143

the soap can be used for longer-term,

144

It means that it is more prepared to be used as a drink.

145

Most of these soaps are sold in Turkey,

146

but Dr. Olu also exports to countries such as Russia and China.

147

But they can't make them all year round,

148

only for the three to five months when olives are in season.

149

So to stay competitive, they also produce some machine-made varieties with different ingredients like rose,

150

clay and honey.

151

For the workers here, keeping this tradition alive is a generational responsibility.

152

I started this job when I was 11 or 12 years old.

153

I taught this job even though I was born.

154

I have two children.

155

One is married and one is married.

156

Two are here.

157

We are here.

158

We are learning about our children.

159

We are learning about the school.

160

We are learning about the future.

161

We are learning about the future.

162

Now, Erhan hopes his family's business and this craft will continue to grow.

163

I believe that the nature will get the opportunity to bring the nature of the nature.
