Aleppo soap ingredients

The main ingredients are olive oil and laurel oil, combined with plant-derived lye, and essential oils. The mixture is cooked over a low heat, allowing the fats to saponify completely. Once saponification is complete, the soap paste is poured into wooden molds and left to dry for a period ranging from weeks to a year. This long period allows the soap to acquire its solid consistency and valuable skin-beneficial properties.

Properties of Aleppo soap

Olive oil is rich in antioxidants and vitamin E, which help keep the skin soft and hydrated. Laurel oil, on the other hand, has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antifungal properties, making this soap ideal for people with skin problems such as acne, eczema, or psoriasis. The absence of chemical additives and preservatives also makes it particularly suitable for those who suffer from allergies. Regular use of Aleppo soap can help improve the appearance of the skin, thanks to its ability to regulate sebum production and maintain the skin's natural balance.

Aleppo soap offers six main benefits provided by the two vegetable oils, promoting the following actions:
• Emollient: making the skin softer and more elastic;
• Soothing: helping to reduce irritation and skin disorders;
• Moisturizing: protects the skin from the effects of dehydration by preserving the hydrolipidic film present in the skin layer;
• Antiseptic: thoroughly cleanses the epidermis, ensuring an antimicrobial effect thanks to laurel oil;
• Elasticizing: ensures a more toned and compact appearance of the skin;
• Cleansing: removes dirt without altering the skin's natural balance;
• Purifying: helps normalize the skin layer by freeing it from impurities.
