Why nigella?
Known as “the Gold of the Pharaohs”, nigella seed (Nigella sativa) has been used in skincare since antiquity. Rich in unsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants, its oil is valued for its soothing, purifying and regenerating properties.
Here it is not a last-minute addition: it is saponified together with olive oil and laurel berry oil, following the traditional Aleppo method.
What this soap does — and what it does not
It cleanses without stripping. No sulphates, no synthetic surfactants: the skin does not feel tight after rinsing. It soothes the discomfort caused by dryness and helps reduce the look of blemishes on blemish-prone skin.
It contains no fragrance, no preservative, no colourant, no palm oil and no EDTA — nothing that could wake up already reactive skin.
This is a cosmetic, not a medicine: it does not treat any skin condition. On broken skin or under dermatological treatment, ask your doctor first.
