A Return to the Roots of Craftsmanship
Discover the mysteries and millennia-old traditions behind the making of Aleppo soap in our soap workshop! It’s a journey that takes us back to the days of ancient civilizations, when craftsmanship was an art form and nature was our greatest ally.
1. Adding the raw ingredients: an age-old ritual
The first step in this captivating process is as simple as it is majestic: adding the raw ingredients to a large cauldron. Imagine a gleaming copper cauldron, filled with the very essence of our land. Olive oils, extracted from orchards bathed in Mediterranean sunshine, blend delicately with the sweetness of bay leaves, handpicked from the region’s lush green hills.
2. Pour the mixture: the soap takes shape
Once the mixture in the cauldron has reached the perfect consistency, the mixture of oils and lye is poured into basins.
3. Stamping: the seal of authenticity
We stamp each bar of our Aleppo soap with our emblem, a symbol of quality and tradition. We carefully hand-stamp each bar, giving it its own unique character. Once stamped, we wrap our precious soap in eco-friendly packaging, ready to travel to you and brighten up your beauty routine. Experience the very essence of craftsmanship with our Aleppo soap!
4. The Art of Carving Aleppo Soap
In our soap workshop, each bar of soap is meticulously hand-carved by our dedicated artisans. Drawing on expertise passed down through generations, they craft each bar into a work of art for your skin.
5. Drying: a natural process
After their spa treatment in our soap factory, our Aleppo soaps take a well-deserved break to dry. Placed in a cool, dry spot, they take their time basking in the Mediterranean sun, releasing their enchanting fragrance into the air. Get ready for soft, glowing skin with our Aleppo soap—the product that takes its time drying like a star!
6. The recovery period: the necessary waiting time
The soap is then left to rest for several months in a cool, dry place, in a process known as “curing.” During this period, the soap completes its saponification. This step is crucial for ensuring the soap’s quality and gentleness on the skin.
7. The magic of Aleppo soap’s transformation after drying
Do you know why our Aleppo soap changes from green to a beautiful beige hue once it dries? It’s a question many of our customers ask. To answer it, we’re going to shed some light on this fascinating phenomenon!
The secret lies in the natural ingredients that make up our authentic Aleppo soap. The olive oil and laurel berry oil used in its production react with air and light during the drying process, causing gradual oxidation. The fresh, green Aleppo soap then transforms into a lighter shade, ranging from beige to golden brown, while retaining its skin-beneficial properties.
It is this process that gives it its unique appearance and delicate fragrance. Choose authenticity with our Aleppo soap and discover the magic of its transformation after drying! Try it now and let yourself be captivated by its incomparable benefits for your skin.
