200g Aleppo Soap 40% Laurel Oil

Aleppo soap (also known as savon d'Alep and laurel soap) is a handmade, hard bar soap associated with the city of Aleppo, Syria. Traditional Aleppo soap is classified as a Castile soap as it is a hard soap made from olive oil and lye, from which it is distinguished by the inclusion of laurel oil.

For thousands of years, it has been cooked by Aleppo's master soap makers and their craftsmanship is still handed down from father to son so we can enjoy its beneficial effects. This traditional know-how was brought to the West by the Crusaders and marked the birth of Marseille soap.

Handmade Aleppo soap is not just a product — it’s a symbol of resilience and culture. Despite years of conflict in Syria, artisans continue to produce this timeless soap, keeping alive a craft that has been passed down for generations. By choosing Aleppo soap, you’re not only benefiting your skin but also supporting the preservation of an ancient heritage.

If you’re looking to experience this remarkable soap for yourself, always make sure you’re buying the real thing. Authentic Aleppo soap has a rough, cube-like shape, a stamped seal, and a brown surface with a green interior. At Soapness we specialise in sourcing genuine Aleppo soap, handmade using traditional methods and natural ingredients.
