Organic Aleppo-style soap, olive and laurel 20%

How does it differ from traditional Aleppo soap?
Traditional Aleppo soap is made in Syria using the hot process: olive and laurel oils are cooked for several days in large vats. This soap uses the same combination of oils, but it is made in Brittany using the cold process and is enriched with coconut oil and rhassoul.

What is laurel berry oil used for?
It is the oil that gives Aleppo soap its distinctive, subtle, slightly vegetal fragrance. Here, it makes up 20% of the soap’s oils.

What is rhassoul?
It is a clay extracted in Morocco and has long been used to cleanse the body and hair. In the ingredients list, it appears under its INCI name, “Moroccan Lava Clay”.

What is cold saponification?
Vegetable oils are turned into soap without being heated to a high temperature, and the soap then cures for several weeks before being sold. This method preserves the glycerin that forms during production.

What does “superfat” mean?
A small portion of the oils is not turned into soap. These oils remain on the skin after rinsing, making the soap less drying than conventional soap.

What skin types is it suitable for?
It is designed for normal, dry or sensitive skin. As it contains no essential oils, it is also suitable for those who prefer to avoid them.

Can it be used on the face and body?
Yes. Avoid the eye area and rinse with clear water if contact occurs.

Can it be used on the hair?
Our soaps are not intended for use on the hair.

Does it contain ingredients of animal origin?
No. The formula contains only vegetable oils, water, glycerin and rhassoul.

Does it contain palm oil?
No. The oils used are olive, laurel berry and coconut oils.

What does COSMOS ORGANIC certification guarantee?
It is a European standard for organic cosmetics. An independent body, Cosmécert in this case, checks the formula and manufacturing process. It verifies, among other things, the origin of the ingredients and the percentage of organic ingredients.

Why is the soap not 100% organic?
Water and minerals, such as rhassoul, cannot be certified organic. They are included in the formula but not in the organic percentage, which here is 80.4%.

How long does it last?
18 months after opening. To make it last longer, leave it to dry between uses on a perforated soap dish, away from the shower stream.

How is it packaged?
In kraft paper packaging.

Where is it made?
In Brittany, near Rennes, by Savonnerie Aubergine, an artisanal soap factory founded in 2015.
