Black Beldi Moroccan soap, known as "Sabon Beldi" in Morocco, traditionally was used in Hammams (Moroccan steam baths) and today this soap is an essential part of the Moroccan beauty ritual. The soap "BELD" is a 100% natural plant product. Consisting of the base product - olives (olive oil and olive paste) it is extremely rich in vitamin E. It is a great emollient and moisturizer. It cleanses the skin leaving the skin soft and silky to the touch. Thanks to this high content of vitamin E, it helps to revitalize the skin, acting against dryness, dehydration and aging skin.

What is Beldi Soap?

Authentic. Timeless. Natural. Proven. Only a few months ago I had never heard of Beldi Soap or Moroccan Black Soap or Savon Noir. Having suddenly been made aware of this special kind of soap I needed to read up on it. The term beldi (which is also used in the context of eg food and rugs) is derived from the word ’bled’ which means country, territory, land or countryside. Ie ’beldi’ is something rustic, representative of the region, genuine and authentic: ’the real deal’, as it were.

Beldi soap is made from olive oil. The oil is saponified with potassium hydroxide and this gives the soap its gel-like consistency. Olive pulp is also part of genuine Beldi soap and several on-line suppliers of Beldi soap also mention ground eucalyptus leaves as an exfoliating additive. This soap lathers modestly and you will love the richness of its texture. The color may vary between a deliciously dark chocolatey brown to a classic, bright olive green.
