Our story

It all began with a grandmother and a bar of soap. A medical doctor and biologist, Dr Constantini discovered Aleppo soap through his grandmother. He tried it, loved it, and decided to import it to France.

Then came the war in Syria: the Aleppo soap works that made our soaps was destroyed by bombs. To keep this centuries-old tradition alive, Dr Constantini invited our master soap maker to France.

That is how our Aleppo soap works was born, on the Plateau Briard, in Greater Paris.
