Deep-cleansing care for hardworking hands and feet.
This purifying and gently abrasive soap combines authentic Aleppo soap with finely ground pumice stone to lift away even the toughest dirt. Designed for mechanics, artists, gardeners, DIYers, and anyone whose hands work hard, it’s the natural, effective answer to paint, grease, oil, soil, and stubborn grime.
The secret lies in its origins: pumice, a porous volcanic stone, is ground into micro-fine grains and blended with traditional olive and laurel oil Aleppo soap. The result is a bar that not only deep-cleans but also nourishes and softens the skin, preventing dryness and irritation. It’s equally brilliant for exfoliating tired feet, removing dead skin, and smoothing early calluses.

Our Aleppo Pumice Soap is crafted with a minimalist formula — just olive oil, laurel oil, natural pumice, and essential mineral components. Every ingredient is carefully chosen for its purity, purpose, and proven performance.
Ingredients:
With no synthetic detergents, preservatives, or artificial fragrances, ensuring this bar is as gentle on your skin as it is on the environment.
The pumice used for exfoliation is a naturally occurring volcanic mineral, finely milled to create a gentle yet effective scrub. Our oils are plant-based, biodegradable, and responsibly sourced, continuing the centuries-old Aleppo soapmaking tradition that values purity, craftsmanship, and sustainability above all.

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.
