Good to know

Aleppo soap is one of the oldest soaps in the world. Traditionally, olive oil is saponified with laurel oil in large cauldrons, the soap mass is poured out on the floor, cut into pieces, and then aged in the air for months. During this process, the soap turns golden brown on the outside, while it remains olive green on the inside. The higher the proportion of laurel oil, the more intense the typical spicy aroma.

Najel is a French-Syrian brand that has been producing Aleppo soap and personal care products around the tradition of the Orient for many years.

Frequently asked questions

What does the percentage value for the laurel oil mean?
It indicates how much laurel oil was saponified in relation to the olive oil. 5% is mild and for everyday use, 12% is well suited for combination skin, 30–40% are the variants with the highest laurel content.

How long does a bar of soap last?
This depends on use. If the soap can dry well between uses (soap dish or magnetic soap holder), it lasts significantly longer.

Directions

• Moisten the skin with water.
• Lather the soap between your hands or apply directly to the face, hands, or body.
• Massage gently and rinse thoroughly with water.
• Pat the skin dry with a towel.
• In the linen closet: Place the soap between linens or clothing.

Tip: Store the soap dry between uses, for example on a soap dish – this will make it last longer.

Note: Avoid contact with eyes. In case of contact with eyes, rinse with water.
