Used for centuries throughout the Mediterranean, black soap is renowned for its natural effectiveness, economy, and versatility. A single bottle replaces a shelf full of synthetic products — for the kitchen, laundry, floors, garden, and even pet care.
Highly concentrated and economical, black soap can clean, nourish and shine everything. It is perfectly tolerated by skin, even fragile skin, and advantageously replaces cleaning products throughout the house and garden.
Black Aleppo Soap is the ultimate natural multi-tasker:
Home Cleaning: Dilute in warm water to clean tiles, marble, terracotta, concrete, parquet, or vinyl. It removes grime while leaving a natural sheen.
Kitchen & Bathroom: Ideal for dishes, counters, sinks, and surfaces — cuts through grease without harsh chemicals.
Laundry & Stain Removal: Use as a gentle stain remover or detergent; perfect for delicate fabrics and handwashing.
Garden & Pet Care: Cleans tools and even acts as a natural pet shampoo when properly diluted.
Olive Oil (Olea Europaea) – the heart of Aleppo soapmaking. Naturally rich in antioxidants and fatty acids, it gently cleanses, nourishes, and protects even sensitive skin.
Laurel Oil (Laurus Nobilis) – long valued for its soothing and purifying qualities, this aromatic oil helps balance the skin and adds a light, herbal scent.
Glycerin – naturally formed during saponification, it keeps skin soft and hydrated without added moisturisers.
Water & Mineral Salt (Aqua, Sodium Chloride) – bind the soap, maintain consistency, and support its natural preservation.
Every bottle of Black Aleppo Soap is biodegradable, plant-based, and made using traditional cauldron saponification, ensuring a formula that is as gentle on your skin as it is on the environment.

Tadé was founded 29 years ago through a love of history and the
Levantine Mediterranean region.
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.

Love this product have used it on everything it's fabulous. Works wonders on surfaces, clothes and the dog! It even cleaned her trophy!
Only used this on my kitchen sink so far, it did a great job with a grimy plughole and tea stains on steel. It has quite a masculine scent but has the advantage of rinsing away easily so it doesn't cling to food prep surfaces etc.
