Description

What is Aleppo Soap?

Aleppo soap is one of the world's oldest cleansing bars, originating in Aleppo, Syria — a city with over 4,000 years of soapmaking tradition. Crafted using a time-honored hot-process method called "qidr" (cauldron cooking), it is made from just two plant oils: extra-virgin olive oil and bay laurel berry oil. The finished bars are stacked in underground cellars and left to cure for 9 to 12 months, during which the exterior darkens to a deep olive-brown while the interior remains a rich forest green. The longer it cures, the milder and more luxurious it becomes.

Traditional Aleppo Soap — 'Tradition' | 200g / 7oz

The 'Tradition' bar is the gentlest expression of authentic Aleppo soap. Made in Syria from just four ingredients — water, sodium hydroxide (lye), bay laurel oil, and first-pressed olive oil — it contains no dyes, synthetic fragrances, or preservatives. The olive oil delivers deep nourishment and softening, while the bay laurel oil lends natural purifying and antiseptic properties, making this bar especially well-suited for sensitive, reactive, or problem-prone skin.

Free from artificial additives, it is safe for the whole family and all skin types.

A Note on the Scent

Authentic Aleppo soap has an earthy, herbal, and slightly smoky aroma — a natural signature of the bay laurel berry oil and the long curing process. It is nothing like a perfumed soap; think ancient forest, warm botanicals, and raw plant oils. The scent softens considerably once lathered and rinses away cleanly, leaving skin neutral and fresh. If you appreciate natural, unmasked ingredients, you'll find it grounding and distinctive.
