Our story

A slow ritual, handed down for generations

In the Moroccan hammam, bathing is a ritual — steam, warm water and a dark, soft soap made from olives. Beldi is that soap: a smooth, earthy paste of olive oil and ground olives, mixed and aged until it is dark and gentle. You apply it, let it sit, then work it with a kessa glove to soften and cleanse the skin. It is a simple, honest body wash from a long tradition, used the way it has been for generations. It is a bath ritual, not a medicine and not intended to address any skin concern.

How it's made

Beldi is made from olive oil and ground olives, mixed with a little water and salt, then left to age until it turns a deep, dark colour and softens to a smooth paste. It is a traditional, simple recipe made in small batches.

How to use it

In a warm, steamy bath or shower, apply a layer of beldi to damp skin and leave it for a few minutes. Then work it gently with a kessa glove to cleanse and soften, and rinse with warm water.

Good to know

How do I store it?

Keep the jar sealed in a cool, dry place. The paste keeps well, and the jar is easy to reseal between baths.

Is it gentle on the skin?

Yes — beldi is a mild, olive-based paste that cleanses without harshness. It is designed to be used gently with the glove, as part of a slow, soothing bath ritual.

What is a kessa glove for?

The kessa is a traditional exfoliating glove used with beldi soap. It works the soap over the skin gently, helping to cleanse and soften as part of the hammam ritual.

Is it for problem skin?

No. It is a traditional bath soap for cleansing. It is not a medicine and not intended to address any skin concern — it is simply for bathing.
