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.

Lasts a long time, beautiful smell, and very moisturising. Glad I tried it.
This soap works so well also the scent from it is fantastic .
This is wonderful. My partner is elderly and really struggling with extreme dry skin on his legs. This soap has transformed them, even the visiting nurse has commented on the improvement. Highly recommend.
Oh, and the rose scent is really gorgeous.
Love this gel - it's quite thick, almost jelly like so you don't need to use very much. It doesn't lather up very much but that is because it doesn't have lots of skin-drying lathering agent in it, still spreads well with water and the scent stays on your skin for ages. It's quite a light rose scent and not too sweet.
