Composition & Ingredients
Olive & Laurel Aleppo Soap
Olive oil forms the base of the bar and is saponified in cauldrons. Laurel berry oil is incorporated during cooking and becomes part of the soap itself. This is a two-oil formulation in which both oils determine the structure of the finished bar. The proportion of laurel influences firmness and cleansing strength. The soap is then aged for an extended period to reduce moisture and stabilise the bar before release.
The Formulation
Laurel Oil
Laurel berry oil contains naturally aromatic compounds and cleansing fatty acids. In Aleppo formulations, it influences hardness, cleansing strength, and the distinctive herbal profile of the finished bar.
INCI: Laurus Nobilis Fruit Oil
Olive Oil
Olive oil forms the historic foundation of Marseille soap. Naturally rich in oleic acid, it produces a mild, stable lather and contributes to a firm, long-wearing bar with notable skin tolerance. In traditional olive-based formulations, it defines both the structure and the character of the finished soap.
INCI: Sodium Olivate

Primary formulation
Olive Oil, Laurel (Bay) Oil

Inspired by ancient Levantine beauty rituals, this oil-enriched Aleppo cleanser is entirely plant-based and traditionally saponified using only olive oil, laurel oil, and natural alkaline salts. Every ingredient serves a purpose — cleansing, hydrating, or protecting — with no fillers, synthetics, or unnecessary additives.

Each batch is hand-finished, aged, and fully biodegradable, making it as gentle on the environment as it is on your skin.

The combination of olive and laurel oils offers a uniquely balanced skincare experience: purifying without drying, deeply nourishing yet lightweight. A genuine reflection of ancient craftsmanship reimagined for modern, mindful living.

Its unique soft paste texture — known as savon noir in the hammams of the Middle East — melts on contact with the skin. Rich in natural lipids, it helps dissolve impurities, absorb excess oil, and restore comfort, without stripping or irritating.

The olive oil base nourishes and protects the skin’s hydrolipidic film, while laurel oil brings natural antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and clarifying benefits. Used regularly, this traditional cleanser refines texture, restores glow, and leaves skin feeling refreshed, supple, and beautifully clean.

How to Use

  • As a Cleanser: Apply a small amount to damp skin. Massage gently in circular motions, then rinse thoroughly with warm water.

  • As a Mask: Apply a fine layer to the face. Leave on for 5–10 minutes to allow the oils and natural clays to absorb impurities, then rinse.

Use once or twice a week for balanced, revitalised skin. Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive.

Key Ingredients

  • Organic Virgin Olive Oil – Nourishes, softens, and protects against dehydration.

  • Laurel (Bay) Oil – Naturally purifying and balancing; helps calm irritation and refine skin texture.

  • Natural Plant Glycerin – Locks in moisture for comfort and smoothness.

Free from palm oil, parabens, colourants, and synthetic surfactants, this soap is biodegradable, hypoallergenic, and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and reactive skin.

Certified natural origin and handmade with respect for Mediterranean craft and ecological responsibility.
