A closer look at the ingredients

Olive oil

Rich in nourishing and softening oleic acid and natural antioxidants (vitamin E, phytosterols, squalene, phenolic compounds), this oil is highly prized in soap-making, producing very mild soaps that are well tolerated by delicate and sensitive skin, and by atopic skin prone to eczema or psoriasis.

Laurel Berry oil

An aromatic oil known for its purifying and soothing properties on blemished skin and problem scalps, it gives Aleppo soap its characteristic scent and also provides good lathering properties thanks to its high lauric acid content.

Where can you find genuine Aleppo soap? In Syria, of course!

Our Aleppo soap is made in Syria by a master Aleppo soap-maker using an ancient process dating back to the 8th century AD.

Second-press olive oil is heated very slowly with water and soda for several hours in a large cauldron, using the traditional process, to allow the oil to saponify completely.
