Traditional Tripoli soap finds its way to London || Newspapers (Arabic)

An Nahar newspaper published a report about Tripoli’s traditional soap manufactured by Samir Nather as early as the sixties and the journey of this trade which began as a family hobby and extended to reach London where it became known as “Eden’s Paradise” after being taken over by the founder’s three daughters.  The daughters who inherited the trade made sure to use their family’s heirloom recipe although they pursued their education in universities in the UK. The Nather girls transformed their production to suit the demands of increasing SPA facilities and marketed their product at Harrods and enjoyed grants and facilities provided by the Municipality of London and the UK engineering association which supports small enterprises.  Improving production also involved modernizing packaging while ensuring that the soap still retained its original and traditional look. This soap is now moving towards mass marketing in malls as well as in shops specializing in natural personal care products.
