Known locally as "bittim" or "menengiç," this rare tree produces a richly aromatic oil that has been used in traditional Turkish folk medicine and soapmaking for generations. Our Bittim soap is handcrafted using a palm-free, cold-process method that preserves the natural properties of the oil. The result is a deeply cleansing, antibacterial bar with a distinctive earthy, woody scent that sets it apart from any soap you've tried before. Bittim Soap Benefits Naturally antibacterial: Bittim oil contains powerful terpene compounds that fight bacteria and fungi — effective against acne, athlete's foot, and skin infections. Deep pore cleansing: The oil's fine molecular structure penetrates deep into pores, helping to remove buildup and prevent breakouts. Suitable for all skin types: Despite its potency, bittim soap is gentle and well-tolerated by sensitive skin when used with olive oil as the base. Vegan and palm-free: Made without any animal-derived ingredients or environmentally destructive palm oil. Unique traditional ingredient: Bittim oil is rarely found outside southeastern Turkey — using it connects you to a centuries-old Anatolian tradition.
