In my bathroom, you can find everything: elegant bottles, luxurious creams with sophisticated packaging, refined soaps from all over the world... But, despite everything, there is one product that stands out from the rest, my real favorite.
It is him, humble and ancestral: Aleppo Soap .
A simple, raw block, but with a captivating aroma and incomparable virtues.
Every time I use it, I feel connected to a tradition that is thousands of years old and continues to prove itself today.
The thousand-year-old history of Aleppo Soap 🏺
Aleppo Soap is considered the oldest soap in the world.
Born in Syria, in the city of Aleppo, it is made using an artisanal method passed down from generation to generation for over 3,500 years.
Its recipe is simple but precious:
-
Olive oil , which nourishes and moisturizes the skin.
-
Bay berry oil , rare and precious, with purifying properties.
-
Water and vegetable soda , for natural transformation.
This manufacturing process lasts several months, the time for the soap to dry slowly, like a fine wine that increases in value with age.
Why choose Aleppo Soap over modern cosmetics?
With shelves brimming with scented shower gels, liquid soaps and luxury skincare products, why go back to an ancestral block?
Because Aleppo Soap is natural, effective and universal .
🌿 A recognized dermatological treatment
The bay leaf oil in the soap has antiseptic and soothing properties.
According to a study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology , bay leaf extracts demonstrated notable antimicrobial activity ( PubMed, 2011 ).
👉 Result: a soap suitable for sensitive skin, prone to eczema, redness or acne.
✨ A natural moisturizer
Olive oil is rich in vitamin E and essential fatty acids , which moisturize and protect the skin barrier.
Researchers have confirmed that olive oil applied to the skin improves its elasticity and reduces dryness ( Molecules, 2010 ).
👉 Result: soft, supple and nourished skin, without added chemicals.
🌱 A multi-purpose product
Unlike modern cosmetics, which are often specialized and expensive, Aleppo Soap is versatile:
-
Face and body cleanser
-
Natural shampoo
-
Soft shaving foam
-
Delicate or baby laundry cleaner
👉 Result: one product is enough where five would be needed.
My ritual with Aleppo Soap 💚
In my bathroom, it's my favorite moment.
I love holding this block in my hands, smelling its natural scent that mixes olive and bay leaf.
When I apply it, my skin immediately regains softness and balance.
And the most surprising thing? Despite all the luxury products I've tried, it's this one, the most humble, that gives me this feeling of purity and well-being.
Aleppo Soap is more than just soap: it is a link with history, nature and essential simplicity .
Why it's timeless 🌿
-
Eco-friendly : 100% biodegradable, no plastic or synthetic ingredients.

Economical : a bar lasts much longer than a liquid shower gel.
-

Perhaps this is why it has survived the centuries without ever losing its value.
