Aleppo soap, one of the oldest soaps in the world, is a genuine natural gem with multiple benefits. Made from simple, natural ingredients, it is prized for its soothing and purifying properties. Find out why this soap, from the Syrian town of Aleppo, deserves a special place in your skincare routine.
History and origins of Aleppo soap
Aleppo soap is an age-old treasure, dating back over 4,000 years. It is considered the ancestor of Marseille soap. Handmade using traditional methods, it is traditionally composed of olive oil and bay laurel oil, all cooked in cauldrons before being dried for several months.
The key components of Aleppo soap
This natural soap is distinguished by its simplicity and the effectiveness of its ingredients. Olive oil, rich in fatty acids and antioxidants, nourishes and protects the skin. Laurel berry oil has purifying and soothing properties, making Aleppo soap ideal for sensitive and problem skin.
The benefits of Aleppo soap for the skin
