Aleppo soap belongs to one of the oldest soapmaking traditions in the world, shared by Aleppo and its sister city Antioch – today's Antakya – which was part of the province of Aleppo for centuries. Ours is made there, cooked slowly in open kettles and cut by hand, with 40% laurel oil. That's far richer than most Aleppo soap on the market, which usually contains between 2% and 20%. 

Laurel oil, pressed from the berries of the bay laurel tree, gives the bar its gentle herbal scent and its traditional character. Blended with food-grade virgin olive oil, it makes a dense, long-lasting bar with a creamy lather that leaves skin feeling soft rather than stripped.

 

 

  • 40% Laurel Oil: Well above the 2–20% typical of most Aleppo soap. This is our best-selling bar.
  • Made in Antakya (Ancient Antioch): Handmade in the traditional kettle method, in the city that has shared the Aleppo soap tradition for centuries.
  • Virgin Olive Oil Base: Made with food-grade virgin olive oil and superfatted, so skin is left soft, not tight.
  • No Perfume: No fragrance oils or fixatives. The scent comes from the laurel oil alone.
  • 100% Vegan & Palm Oil Free: Plant-based, with no animal ingredients.
  • Free From: SLS, SLES, sulfates, parabens, silicones, PEG, synthetic preservatives, chemical hardeners and artificial colours.
  • Face, Body, Hair & Shaving: One bar for your whole routine, and a traditional shaving soap too.
  • Plastic-Free: Wrapped in a breathable jute pouch that biodegrades in soil.

How to use: Lather between wet hands and apply to face, body or scalp, then rinse well. Keep the bar on a draining soap dish between uses. Avoid contact with eyes. As with any new soap, try it on a small patch of skin first.

Reclaim your daily cleansing routine with the timeless craftsmanship and herbal richness of ancient Antioch.

[+] The Superfatting Guarantee: "Why doesn't this
natural soap dry out my skin?"

Traditional hot-process soaps naturally have a higher alkaline pH. To protect your skin barrier, extra un-saponified virgin olive oil and wild laurel fruit oil are added at the final stage of our kettle brew. This leaves an ultra-thin, protective lipid layer on your skin post-rinse, preventing tightness and locking in essential natural moisture without chemical pH balancers.

Why Wild Laurel Fruit Oil?

As a dense, hot-process artisan soap made without synthetic
fillers, it is exceptionally long-lasting. Storing your bar on a slatted,
self-draining wooden soap dish away from standing water will maximize its lifespan.

Natural kettle-crafted soaps need air to breathe and naturally release residual moisture. Synthetic plastic wrap traps moisture and egrades soap quality. Our breathable 100% Jute burlap protects the bar and decomposes completely in garden soil within 12 months.
