| Ingredient | Origin / Source | Purpose in Formula | Sustainability & Skin Notes |
| Aqua (Water) | Purified European spring water | Acts as a solvent to blend oils and natural actives into a smooth, stable soap base. | Non-toxic, renewable, and essential for natural formulations. |
| Potassium Olivate | From Mediterranean olive oil (France, Spain, Italy, Syria) | The primary soap base, created when olive oil is saponified with potassium. Gently cleanses without stripping natural oils. | Olive oil is a renewable, biodegradable ingredient supporting traditional agriculture. |
| Glycerin | Naturally formed during olive oil saponification | A natural humectant that locks moisture into the skin and enhances softness. | 100% biodegradable and ideal for sensitive or dry skin. |
| Parfum (Fragrance) | Plant-derived aromatic compounds | Provides a gentle, pleasant scent to the soap. | Naturally derived, biodegradable, and used in very small concentrations. |
| Potassium Laurus Nobilate | From laurel berry oil (Syria) | Secondary soap base with natural purifying and antiseptic properties. Helps balance skin prone to oiliness or irritation. | Traditionally harvested; fully biodegradable and skin-compatible. |
| Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil | Cold-pressed Mediterranean olive oil | Deeply nourishing oil that softens, protects, and supports skin barrier health. | Sustainably sourced, renewable, and supports biodiversity in olive-growing regions. |
| Laurus Nobilis (Laurel) Fruit Oil | Cold-pressed wild bay berries, Eastern Mediterranean | Soothes, purifies, and restores skin equilibrium; gives Aleppo soap its distinctive care properties. | Ethically harvested and biodegradable; supports rural producers. |
| Decyl Glucoside | From coconut oil and plant sugars | A mild, non-ionic surfactant that enhances foam and cleanses gently without irritation. | 100% natural, biodegradable, and ECOCERT-approved for organic cosmetics. |
| Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate | From plant-based amino acids | Softens water, boosts cleaning performance, and stabilises the formula. | Readily biodegradable and a safer alternative to EDTA. |
| Sodium Benzoate | Food-grade natural preservative | Prevents microbial growth to ensure product safety and longevity. | Biodegradable and accepted by COSMOS and ECOCERT for natural formulations. |
| Sodium Chloride | Harvested Mediterranean sea salt | Naturally thickens and stabilises the soap texture. | Mineral-based, biodegradable, and fully non-toxic. |
| Tocopherol (Vitamin E) | Extracted from sunflower oil | Natural antioxidant that helps protect both skin and oils from oxidation. | Plant-based, biodegradable, and skin-friendly antioxidant support. |
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.
