Aleppo soap is one of the oldest and most natural soaps in the world. It dates back to the 8^th Century and genuine Aleppo Soap can only be made in Syria.

Made in a similar way to the renowned Savon de Marseille in France, Aleppo soap contains just 4 ingredients.

Olive Oil, Soda and Water are saponified in an underground vat in a boiling process that takes several days. Laurel Oil (Bay) is then added and the soap is left to set. At this point it is bright green. After a week or two the blocks are cut and left to dry age for a minimum of 7 months.  During this drying process the outsides of the cubes turn golden brown, while the insides stay green although the colour can vary depending upon the age and weather, from deep to olive green. It is a living product so will change in colour and texture as it dries, however the older it is the longer it lasts! It’s also naturally antiseptic and antibacterial.
