Fair-trade Aleppo Soap

Born in the fortress of Aleppo in Syria about 2,000 years ago, this soap is possibly at the origin of the first hard soaps in the world.

Our Aleppo soaps are hand-crafted by Madame Akila Mansour, a Syrian soap master who has acquired her skills of soap-making from the generations of family before her. Each bar contains essential fatty acids, antioxidants and vitamins. Its high laurel oil content is the very ingredient that sets this soap apart from other soaps.

The laurel oil used in the soaps are sourced from Syrian farmers, where fair trade practices are ensured. 

Each bar is handmade from freshly pressed Olives and Laurel Berries. It contains no palm oil, preservatives, colouring, synthetic fragrances or animal fat derivatives. We have 6 types of soaps in different laurel berry oil concentrations:
