I learned, thanks to God, how to make this artisanal soap after a customer requested it; a soap made from jujube leaves (called "Sidr" "  سِـدْر"). "in Arabic), given the effectiveness of the latter which has been known for centuries.

For our culture:

The jujube tree is known since antiquity and is found in several regions of North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Its fruit is called the jujube  . In Arabic, it is often referred to as "sidr" or "nbague" النّبَڨ)), depending on the region.

This tree can withstand heat and drought; it has small green leaves, some varieties of which have thorns. The jujube tree produces round or oval fruits, green then reddish-brown when ripe; this fruit is called "the jujube," which can be eaten fresh, dried, made into jam, or used in infusions or syrups according to some traditions.  The taste of this fruit is sometimes reminiscent of a cross between an apple and a date, depending on its ripeness.

This soap is appreciated for its gentle and purifying characteristics; which is often suitable for both face and body, especially for sensitive or blemish-prone skin.
