Aleppo soap

Aleppo Soap

Aleppo soap is a vegetable oil soap that is similar to Marseille or Castile soap, but made in Aleppo, Syria.

The composition of traditional Aleppo soap includes olive oil, oil of Bay Laurel berries and soda ash (sodium carbonate).

The history of the soap industry in the Middle East dates back over nearly five millennia, and the production of Aleppo soap has not changed much since its inception, with the tradition being passed to each generation.
