What is Aleppo soap?

Perfect for the daily cleansing of the face and hands, Aleppo soap is the oldest known ally against dirt and bacteria.

But it is also a millennia-old beauty elixir that cares for and protects the skin and hair, thanks to its remarkable virtues.

This is thanks to the harmony between the properties of olive and laurel oils, which makes it unique and precious.

The original recipe does not call for the addition of other ingredients: it is therefore completely natural and environmentally friendly, does not dry out or irritate the skin, and is also suitable for the most sensitive and delicate skin, such as that of children.

100% natural: the oldest soap, always relevant

Aleppo soap is a plant-based product that owes its name to the city of the same name in Syria, the region where its manufacturing technique was perfected. Its roots go back in history and, among natural soaps, it is considered the oldest cleanser, so much so that the first evidence of its use dates back to Babylonian times (2500 BC).

There are two green ingredients that make it so special and versatile: olive and laurel oils. To recognize it, read the label carefully. Real Aleppo soap is an artisanal product, it contains no preservatives, additives, or synthetic fragrances and, for this reason, is particularly suitable for sensitive skin, for those who suffer from perfume allergies, or for those who have skin problems. It is not tested on animals and is therefore an eco-friendly product, valuable for the daily care of adults and children. It is biodegradable and, due to its long tradition and purity, it is considered the ancestor and forefather of Marseille soap.

Aleppo soap is usually presented in a cubic or parallelepiped shape, like a compact bar with a very hard consistency. Liquid Aleppo soap is equally widespread and appreciated. Generally, before drying, it is dark green due to chlorophyll, and later the color tends to lighten, until it becomes golden. Olive and laurel oils already boast remarkable properties individually, which are amplified by the alliance between the two substances.

From this plant-based marriage emerges a powerful synergy, especially valuable for the care of the skin and hair. This is why this soap is considered one of the most appreciated in the world. The percentage of the mixture between the two oils can vary: it is laurel that makes it more precious, so the higher this component, the higher the quality of the cleanser and, therefore, the more expensive. However, for dry skin, it is better if there is a small amount (12%). If, on the other hand, you have oily skin, you should definitely opt for mixtures that contain up to 35%.

Properties of Aleppo soap

Olive oil has moisturizing, emollient, and nourishing properties for the skin. Polyphenols and vitamins A and E make it an excellent antioxidant, which prevents skin aging: like all olive oil soaps, Aleppo soap is also an effective anti-aging product, ideal for facial treatments. Furthermore, it stimulates the synthesis of collagen and elastin proteins. It helps heal wounds, thanks to its regenerative properties that restore radiance to the skin with vitamin C.

Laurel oil, on the other hand, has important antibacterial and antiseptic properties; its soothing action helps calm skin inflammation and is useful in improving conditions such as psoriasis and eczema; it also regulates the sebaceous balance, combating acne.

Aleppo soap, thanks to the synergy between its two components, has nourishing, revitalizing, and restructuring properties, given by the high percentage of fats contained in the oil, which is why it is often recommended for washing and caring for stressed, dry, and brittle hair.

Aleppo soap is widely used for washing and cleansing the skin and hair. In fact:

• It has beneficial effects on inflammatory conditions and skin diseases thanks to its antiseptic and antibacterial properties. It is widely used in the treatment of dark spots on the face, acne, psoriasis, eczema, skin dermatitis, and burns.
• It can be used as a hair shampoo due to its ability to strengthen the hair bulb, nourish the hair, and combat the onset of dandruff thanks to its nourishing properties; furthermore, it prevents hair loss thanks to its ability to activate the microcirculation of the scalp. It gives shine and volume to the hair. After washing, it is recommended to rinse with water and vinegar to restore the optimal pH.
• It is often used by men for shaving.
• It has important emollient properties for post-shaving care.
• It is an excellent makeup remover, soft and nourishing.
• If left on the skin after cleansing, it performs a real purifying and nourishing mask function.
• It can be used for bathing babies and infants. However, be careful around the eyes, which could become irritated.
