Aleppo Soap: A Natural Classic for Skin and Hair

Aleppo soap is a classic of natural skincare. Made using a traditional soap-making method, it rests on a simple composition: saponified vegetable oils. Used for centuries, this traditional soap remains a simple choice for everyday washing.

Aleppo soap: a simple composition

Its formula is based on two vegetable oils:

Olive oil: the main ingredient, it makes a gentle soap with a fine lather.

Laurel berry oil: it gives Aleppo soap its distinctive scent. Its proportion varies from one soap to another and is shown on the label.

The ingredient list (INCI) is short: read it on the label before you choose.

Which Aleppo soap should you choose for your skin?

Traditional Aleppo soap is chosen first by its laurel content: ✅ Dry or sensitive skin: start with a soap low in laurel and try it first on a small area. ✅ Combination to oily skin: a soap richer in laurel, if you like its stronger scent. ✅ Hair: it can also be used as a solid shampoo.

How to include Aleppo soap in your beauty routine

For a natural, minimalist skincare routine, here is how to use Aleppo soap: ✔ Face and body: work the bar into a lather between wet hands, apply the lather, then rinse with lukewarm water. ✔ Natural solid shampoo: work up a lather on wet hair, gently massage the scalp, then rinse thoroughly. ✔ Precaution: avoid contact with the eyes; if this happens, rinse with clean water.

A solid bar that lasts

As a solid bar, Aleppo soap needs no bottle. Kept on a draining soap dish, it dries between uses and lasts longer. By choosing it, you opt for an authentic, handcrafted soap.

With Aleppo soap, give your skin natural, simple, time-honoured care!
