Soap
Olive oil soap, the traditional soap of Lebanon, is gaining worldwide popularity for its purity and natural moisturizing qualities. Traditionally made with oil originating from each family's own olive trees, the soap is imprinted with the family name in Arabic or with other symbols, suggesting the quality of the olive oil used, the soap maker's skill, or secret recipe. The areas of Lebanon famous for olive oil soap production include Koura, Hasbaiya, Saida, and the Chouf. However, olive oil soap can be purchased in small stores or souks all over the country.

According to Lebanese tradition, olive oil soap is a cure-all for countless ailments, from balding, to dandruff, to eczema.

A specialty Lebanese soap is produced in Tripoli, typically made from a mixture of vegetable oils, using methods inspired by the North Middle Eastern soap-making tradition. The Tripoli soap workshops are also widely known for their massage and spa oils used in the old Turkish-style hammams.
