olea europaea (olive) fruit oil, laurus nobilis (laurel) fruit oil, Sodium Bicarbonate, Calcium Bicarbonate, aqua (water) sodium hydroxide
100% natural origin
| Ingredient | Origin / Source | Purpose in Formula | Sustainability & Skin Notes |
| Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil | Cold-pressed olive oil from Syria | Primary soap base; gently cleanses while leaving a protective lipid layer | Naturally rich in antioxidants and squalene. Nourishes and softens. Suitable for all skin types including very sensitive and dry skin. Biodegradable and renewable. |
| Laurus Nobilis (Laurel) Fruit Oil | Pressed from laurel berries grown in Northern Syria | Provides balancing, purifying, and skin-comforting properties | Traditionally used in Aleppo soap for centuries. Naturally antimicrobial and soothing. Excellent for reactive, problem or flaky skin. Plant-based and biodegradable. |
| Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda) | Naturally occurring mineral salt from Turkey | Deodorises, neutralises odours, gently lifts impurities | Helps soften water and enhance cleansing while remaining non-abrasive. Suitable for sensitive skin when combined with oils (as here). |
| Calcium Bicarbonate | Mineral compound formed from limestone interacting with CO₂ and water (common in natural spring waters) | Water-softening and mild buffering agent to stabilise pH | Makes lather creamier and supports gentle cleansing. Safe and naturally occurring. |
| Aqua (Water) | Purified water | Used to dissolve and combine ingredients during soapmaking | Evaporates during curing, leaving a firm, long-lasting bar. |
| Sodium Hydroxide | Mineral alkali (traditionally obtained from wood ash, now refined for purity) | Catalyst for saponification — transforms oils into soap | None remains in the final bar when correctly cured. Essential for traditional soapmaking. |
ITo be used alone or with a Tadé brush, this Aleppo soap works wonders on dishes and cleaning greasy and stained surfaces, deeply cleaning and making them shine.
Lightly moisten the soap or brush before use.
Rub the surfaces or dishes until a light lather forms.
Rinse thoroughly for impeccable results.
Hang up the soap after use using its cord to let it dry.
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.
