About this product

The traditional soap of Aleppo was invented 40 centuries ago by the Mesopotamians in Aleppo, the second capital of Syria 350 km north of Damascus, and one of the oldest continously inhabited cities in history. We owe the french crusaders its discovery and its importation on the old European continent. Aleppo soap then became famous in France and generated many soap factories around the Mediterranean. From then on, we find it in Italy, in Spain and more particularly in Marseille, creating towards in the end of the 17th century the famous “Savon de Marseille”. This ancient city of Aleppo is home to some of the finest Laurel & Olive Oil Soap producers in the Middle East. Their experience in producing Laurel & Olive soaps spans approximately 1300 years. Thus, Olive oil and Laurel berry oil became the fundamental ingredients of traditional Aleppo soaps. The knowledge and formula used in the production of the original Aleppo soap are preserved from one generation to another up to this day.
