What Is Moroccan Beldi Soap — And Why Is It So Loved?

Moroccan beldi soap (often called Moroccan black soap) is a traditional cleansing paste used in the iconic Moroccan hammam ritual. Unlike regular foaming soaps, beldi soap has a thick, gel-like texture made from cold-pressed olive oil and crushed olives.

 For centuries, it has been used to deeply cleanse, soften and prepare the skin for exfoliation — leaving it smooth, hydrated and naturally glowing.

How Moroccan Beldi Soap Works

 When applied to warm, damp skin, beldi soap:

• loosens dead skin cells
• softens the upper layer of the skin
• prepares the body for exfoliation with a kessa glove
• supports clearer, smoother-looking skin

It doesn’t lather — instead, it melts impurities while nourishing the skin with natural olive-derived goodness.

Key Benefits of Beldi Soap

• Deep cleansing without stripping
• Softer, smoother skin after rinsing
• Naturally moisturising thanks to olive oil

 With regular use, the skin looks brighter, refined and more even in texture.
