Traditional handmade Aleppo soaps
The ALEPEO brand stands for the famous Aleppo soap, which is still produced in the winter months from November to March using various laurel oils, as was the tradition 1,300 years ago. In addition to the traditional soap, the product range is complemented by various liquid products in different variations.
Where does the name “Aleppo soap” actually come from? Aleppo soap is a traditional soap that has originally been produced for thousands of years in the city of Aleppo in northern Syria. ALEPEO Aleppo soaps are made by a highly experienced master soap maker in Tunisia. The high-quality soaps are made from natural ingredients such as olive oil, laurel oil and natural sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and are characterized by their long shelf life and mild effect on the skin. ALEPEO Aleppo soap is particularly popular with people with sensitive skin or skin problems, as it is free from synthetic additives and gently cleanses the skin. It is also used as a shampoo, detergent or cleanser.
The production of Aleppo soap is a complex process that requires a long drying time. This can take up to a year and guarantees the high quality of the soap.

Aleppo soap, one of the oldest soaps in the world, has been a cornerstone of skincare for centuries. This traditional soap originates from the ancient city of Aleppo in Syria and has a history dating back thousands of years to the early civilizations in the Levant. ALEPEO Aleppo soap is made by a highly experienced master soap maker in Tunisia.
The production of Aleppo soap is a tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation
The production of Aleppo soap is a traditional process that has been passed down for generations. Its unique recipe, a mixture of olive oil, laurel oil, water and lye, has remained largely unchanged over the centuries. This natural soap is known for its purity and the absence of synthetic additives.
The importance of laurel oil in Aleppo soap
The special thing about Aleppo soap is the laurel berry oil. This oil is extracted from laurel trees and is known for its antiseptic and moisturizing properties. The different concentration (the proportion) of laurel oil in the soap is tailored to different skin types and needs. ALEPEO Aleppo soaps are therefore available with different levels of laurel oil from 4% to 40%.
The maturing process: improving the quality of Aleppo soap
After soap production, Aleppo soap undergoes a unique maturing process. The soap bars are stacked in high columns in well-ventilated rooms, where they can harden for six to nine months. During this maturing process, the Aleppo soap hardens and develops its characteristic color, which ranges from a golden exterior to a bright green core.
Aleppo soap today: a lasting legacy
Despite modern advances in skin care, Aleppo soap has retained its importance and popularity. Its natural composition and traditional manufacturing process appeal to today’s environmentally conscious consumers. The multifunctional use of the soap, from skincare, detergent and cleanser to shampoo, makes it a versatile and sustainable choice.
Preserving tradition: challenges and triumphs
The production of Aleppo soap has faced challenges, particularly due to the recent conflict in Syria. However, thanks to the tenacity and dedication of the artisans, this age-old tradition has been kept alive and the legacy of Aleppo soap continues. Many master soap makers continue and live this tradition with great passion and therefore produce Aleppo soaps in countries such as Tunisia and Turkey.
Take advantage of the proven benefits of Aleppo soap
It can thus be said that the story of Aleppo soap is not just about the soap itself, but also the story of a community’s resilience and commitment to age-old traditions. It is a testament to the timeless appeal of natural, handmade and plastic-free products in our modern world.
