This pure, natural liquid shampoo is made traditionally in a cauldron using olive oil, laurel oil, and coconut oil, following the same principles as time-honoured Mediterranean soap making.
With 99% ingredients of natural origin, the formula gently cleanses the hair and scalp while helping to restore balance, comfort, and natural shine. It is particularly well suited to irritated, dry, normal, or oily scalps, and works beautifully on curly, normal, and dry hair types.
Rich in naturally occurring fatty acids, this shampoo cleans effectively , leaving it soft, bouncy, and hydrated. We do not advise this for fine or long hair, the oil content is too strong for these hair types.
This shampoo is based on a true liquid soap structure, created through traditional saponification rather than modern synthetic surfactants.
Potassium salts of olive, coconut, and laurel oils gently lift impurities from hair and scalp
Naturally occurring glycerin, retained from the soap-making process, helps maintain hydration and comfort
Laurel oil supports scalp balance and helps calm irritation
Vitamin E (tocopherol) provides antioxidant support for both hair and scalp
The result is a shampoo that cleanses thoroughly yet respectfully, supporting the scalp’s natural function rather than disrupting it. Particularly beneficial to those prone to eczema, psoriasis and other challenging conditions.
Olive Oil (Olea europaea)
Rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidants. Helps nourish the hair fibre and support scalp comfort.
Laurel Oil (Laurus nobilis)
Traditionally valued for its purifying and soothing properties, making it especially suitable for irritated or reactive scalps.
Coconut Oil (Cocos nucifera)
Contributes cleansing power and natural shine while maintaining softness.
Vegetable Glycerin
Naturally produced during saponification. Helps retain moisture and prevent dryness.
Vitamin E (Tocopherol)
Antioxidant that supports scalp health and helps protect the oils within the formula.

This shampoo is fragrance-free and contains no essential oils or added parfum.
It does not contain any declared fragrance allergens under current cosmetic regulations. The formula relies solely on saponified plant oils for cleansing and performance.
This shampoo reflects a minimal-intervention approach to hair care, prioritising biodegradable ingredients, traditional craftsmanship, and functional simplicity.
The formula is made using plant oils and water, without silicones, synthetic surfactants, or unnecessary additives. All cleansing agents are readily biodegradable, breaking down safely after use.
Produced using traditional cauldron saponification, the shampoo retains naturally occurring glycerin and avoids the need for added conditioners or polymers. Its liquid format offers a simple, low-impact alternative to heavily processed shampoos, while remaining effective and economical in use.
Wet hair, apply shampoo, lather and rinse thoroughly. Can be used daily, but with regular use you will probably drop back to every two or three days.

Aleppo soap is the oldest form of soap in the world and the forerunner of Traditional Savon de Marseille. Thaddée de Slizewicz, the founder, is dedicated to perpetuating the wonders of Aleppo soap in a sustainable and ethical way, investing in the region, infrastructure and people involved. Now employing 15 full time team in Syria and a further 10 in France, 'authenticity, pleasure and elegance' underpins their direction and ethos. In 2023 they made 30tons of Pure Aleppo Soap and we are honoured to bring them to, and represent them in the UK.
Made between December and March, immediately following the Olive harvest, the Olive and Laurel Oils are saponified in a cauldron over 7-14days then the paste is poured on the floor and left to set. It is stamped and cut then left to dry for 9 months before being packed and shipped to France.

Not keen on this shampoo, leaves my hair dull and heavy. Difficulty rinsing out of my hair.
I really like this, I’ve used it a few times now and find that my hair is great with it.
I have quite short hair (recently chopped off) and stopped dying it a few years ago, so my hair is in good condition as such I thought I’d try this without conditioner and my hair is absolutely fine, so I’m really pleased as it saves me time as well. I’d recommend trying this product.
As someone with dry and curly hair, I was pleased to find something in French range. However t is not an easy shampoo to get used to: almost no later at all, and despite stating you need only a few drops I disagree as otherwise the hair feels slightly sticky after use. It rinses off well and I add conditioner. I am sure it is excellent quality and good for my hair, just very unusual.
Hi Liz
Thank you for your review.
We agree, the shampoos we stock are 'unusual' and do take getting used to.
They do not contain silcones and do have a high oil content, that's why your hair may feel sticky until you get used to how you rinse it. Also, none of our products will lather much; we do not stock any product that contains synthetic bubble making ingredients. You can read more about that in one of our blog posts.
Lather does not = good cleaning, lather is created through sulphates, which are not good for your skin health and are a lab created synthetic ingredint. They are added to products to make them lather and bubble, and they then have additional synthetics added to stop them drying your skin, this is where readily available soap has gained a bad reputation for being an irritant. At the same time lather uses more product so you will finish it more quickly.
I'm confident that you will get used to it. Do contact us if you have further feedback or would like to discuss more.
Leaves my hair feeling soft and lovely
Nice shampoo need only a little to lather up so very economical, hoping it helps a dry scalp , only been using a couple of weeks so too early to tell as yet
This product has helped my fine aging hair(I am 80) to remain smoother in damp weather which is a great help.
