Aleppo & Alum Deodorising Soap - 150g

Made Aleppo City Syria then formulated and fragranced in Provence

📐

A beautifully simple, highly effective cleansing bar, rooted in the ancient soap-making tradition of Aleppo. This olive and laurel oil soap is enriched with 5% natural potassium alum, a mineral valued since antiquity for its deodorising, astringent, and skin-comforting properties.

Designed for daily use on body and underarms, this bar is especially well suited after sport, shaving, or waxing, helping to keep skin fresh, calm, and balanced — without blocking pores or disrupting the skin’s natural function.

What It Does (and Why It Works)

This soap cleanses using a true soap structure, working with the skin rather than against it.

Potassium alum helps to:

• Neutralise body odour by limiting odour-causing bacteria

• Calm and tighten the skin after shaving or waxing

• Support freshness without clogging pores

At the same time:

• Olive oil nourishes and conditions

• Laurel oil provides its traditional purifying and balancing action

• Naturally retained glycerin helps prevent dryness

The result is a bar that cleans thoroughly yet remains gentle, hydrating, and well tolerated, even by sensitive or reactive skin.

Traditionally made

The soap is made using the traditional hot-process cauldron method, then dried slowly. This time-honoured approach preserves the soap’s naturally high glycerin content, contributing to its mildness and skin comfort.

There are no shortcuts, no unnecessary additives, and no masking fragrance — just proven ingredients, handled with care.

Why switch to this?

• Helps neutralise body odour naturally

• Soothes razor burn and post-waxing irritation

• Supports the skin barrier rather than stripping it

• Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and problem-prone skin

• Ideal for sport, daily cleansing, and underarm use
