Aleppo soap (from Syria) is a kind and natural soap, recommended by dermatologists worldwide. Traditionally it’s made from olive oil soap with laurel oil, stirred in copper cauldrons. It is then left to cool and cut into bars. These bars are stacked and left to dry for about 9 months. This wonderful Olive oil soap is a fatty soap for hydrating care, softening dry, vulnerable and sensitive skin. Its pure and vegetable formula is pH neutral. Being rich in olive oil and laurel oil it cleans, nourishes and softens the skin. It protects the skin from drying out without being aggressive. It is also very effective against skin problems: psoriasis, allergies, acne, eczema, dandruff, facial care. This olive oil soap is so mild, you can wash your face with it and use it on your hair. It lathers very well too and can also be used as shaving foam. It can even be used to wash your clothes. You need to be aware that this soap contains different amounts of bay leaf oil. Many contain 12% and it can be as high as 40%. We sell the soap with 20% because it's ideal for most people and it works extremely well. We feel any higher can be too expensive. If you suffer from eczema try out our “king soap” for dry skin, the Aleppo soap. As mentioned above, this soap is recommended by dermatologists worldwide, and is a great remedy for itching skin. Aleppo soap uses olive oil, and laurel berry oils to gently soothe your skin. Try it out, and your skin will heal faster, and feel soft and luxurious in no time!Size: 6.5 x 6.5 x 4.5 cm Weight: approximate 200gMade in: Syria100%: Natural 100%: Vegetal Customer Reviews:Overall: *****

This soap is so good for my itchy patch of psoriasis on my left elbow. I bought it because I had found out about argan oil the week before and was rubbing that in, together with E45 itch relieving cream. Ever since my first shower with Aleppo soap the itching stopped and I have not needed to use oil or cream on the elbow since. And it leaves the skin over the rest of my body soft as well. Lovely smell, nothing perfumed, just the smell of 'clean'.

I bought this soap for a friend who has eczema on her fingers as a result of a thyroid condition. She was delighted to get the soap. I haven't seen her for an update yet, but I have no doubt the review will reflect the comments below. I'll update with her opinion....

Aleppo soap just has to be the best for sensitive skin, or skin that feels tight after washing. No tightness here after washing! The skin is left smooth and calm and hands are left soft too. You will get some oily deposit round the sink but then you know it's got real oil in it which is why your face will be comfortable.
For hand washing, just rub a little bit longer than you would with "normal" soap and you'll find it will lather just as well. Try washing twice for really clean soft hands.

You will not get the best lather so I use a carrier such as a sponge/ schunchie and works brilliantly! This is a fabulous skin conditioner, leave your skin super soft & ‘squeaky’ clean. I swim and love this soap to remove the dry chlorine feeling that is left after swimming.
Brilliant!!

I have used the Olive & Lavender Oval Marseille Soap for many years as I know that my sensitive skin will not react badly to it. I tried the Aleppo soap and am absolutely delighted with it, my skin and hair too feel great. My Granny was right - olive soap is the best!
