A simple recipe, a long tradition
This Aleppo soap is cooked only from olive oil, water and lye, which is why it is often called simply the "olive soap". It is aged for months in the traditional method, until it reaches its typical dryness. You receive a simple yet capable block of soap, made without laurel oil, so its scent is milder than the classic Aleppo bars.
Where do you use it most often?
You can use this pure olive oil soap for face, hands and body. For hand washing, keep it in a draining dish in the bathroom so the bar stays dry. In the shower, lather it with lukewarm water and it cleanses gently without leaving a filmy feel. For you, a single bar of soap can replace face wash, hand soap and shower gel.
What does it give your skin?
The fatty acids of olive oil help preserve the skin's natural protective layer even during the dry winter months. The soap is free from fragrance and colourants, so it avoids unnecessary allergens. It feels especially good on sensitive or dry-prone skin, and expectant mothers often reach for it as well, since the recipe is simple and transparent.
How do you store and use it?
The soap lasts longest in a dry, well-ventilated spot. The block softens if it stays in water, so we suggest a draining soap dish. You can even store a bar for years in a paper box, because aging makes the soap a little lighter and smoother. You may also cut the block in half for smaller pieces in the guest bathroom.
Why has it been loved for years?
The pure olive soap is the gentlest version of the Aleppo recipe, which is why people with sensitive skin, families with small children and environmentally conscious buyers keep coming back to it. You receive a long-lived, naturally based soap that needs no extra liquid cleansing kit. A simple, quiet option for everyday washing.
