A gentle deep-cleanse in a bottle. This Liquid Black Soap with Activated Charcoal is inspired by traditional Levantine soap-making and formulated to purify the skin without stripping or drying. Using coconut oil as its base, the soap is naturally rich in moisturising glycerin and biodegrades cleanly—no SLS, no palm oil, no synthetic colourants.
Activated Charcoal, long valued for its extraordinary absorption capacity, draws impurities, excess sebum, pollution residues, and daily build-up from the skin. It cleans deeply yet delicately, helping to refine the skin’s texture and restore clarity. Especially recommended for combination, oily, blemish-prone or teenage skin that needs freshness and balance.
The result is skin that feels clean, soft, clear and comfortable—never tight.
Deeply purifying, but gentle
Ideal for hands, face and body
99% ingredients of natural origin
Palm oil free, SLS free, biodegradable formula

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.
