Our Story
Preserving the world's oldest soap-making tradition while supporting Syrian artisans and cultural heritage
A 4000-Year Legacy
Aleppo soap, known as "Ghar soap" or "Savon d'Alep," is considered the world's first soap, with origins tracing back over 4000 years to the ancient city of Aleppo, Syria. This remarkable soap predates even the famous Castile soap of Spain, which was inspired by Aleppo's soap-making traditions brought back by Crusaders.
For millennia, Syrian master soap makers have perfected the art of creating this exceptional soap using only two pure ingredients: olive oil and laurel berry oil. The traditional method involves a careful process of cooking, molding, stamping, and aging that has remained virtually unchanged for thousands of years.
Each bar of authentic Aleppo soap is a testament to this ancient wisdom, offering the same natural skincare benefits that have been trusted by generations across the Middle East and Mediterranean.

Cooking
Olive oil and laurel berry oil are cooked together for several days in large cauldrons.
Spreading
The hot mixture is spread on large sheets and left to cool and solidify.
