What is Aleppo soap?

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

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

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

The original recipe does not involve 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, a region where its manufacturing technique was perfected. It has its roots in history and, among natural soaps, it is considered the oldest cleanser, so much so that the first testimonies of its use date back to the Babylonian era (2500 BC).

There are two ingredients, both green, that make it so special and versatile: olive and laurel oil. 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, it 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 young and old. 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, later the color tends to lighten, until it becomes golden. Olive and laurel oil 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 the 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 presence (12%). If, on the other hand, you have oily skin, you should definitely opt for mixtures that have even 35% of it.

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 restored the skin's radiance 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 also 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 shampoo for hair due to its ability to strengthen the bulb, nourish the hair, and counteract 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.
• 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.
