Known for its traditional craftsmanship and age-old heritage, Aleppo soap has become an essential part of daily skincare. But you still need to choose it carefully. Every skin has its needs, and every formula has its specificities. At Najel, we help you find the Aleppo soap that perfectly matches your skin type. Follow the guide to discover yours, with ease.

1. Sensitive and reactive skin: choose a soap rich in laurel oil

Sensitive skin needs softness and respect every day. For them, the traditional Aleppo soap with 40% laurel oil is ideal. It combines olive oil with a high concentration of bay laurel oil, known for its purifying and comforting qualities. This soap is appreciated for its ability to gently cleanse without aggression. Its slow drying process, at least 9 months, gives it a firm, easy-to-use texture. It is perfect for skin prone to discomfort or redness. In tests conducted on a panel of 20 volunteers with sensitive skin, 96.15% expressed satisfaction, and 95% wished to adopt it. It is a trusted ally for incorporating gentle care into one's daily routine, while benefiting from traditional Syrian know-how passed down from generation to generation.

2. Dry and sensitive skin: the right balance between comfort and tradition

If your skin tends to feel tight and uncomfortable after showering, opt for the traditional Aleppo soap with 30% laurel oil. This soap, richer in bay laurel oil than a classic soap, cleanses while respecting the skin's balance. It is made from saponified vegetable oils using an ancestral method and contains no dyes, synthetic fragrances, or preservatives. In tests conducted on dry skin, 100% of users were satisfied and expressed their intention to continue using it. Its raw scent and its yellow-brown exterior, olive green interior, are authentic signs of its artisanal origin. This soap can be used daily, on the face and body, and quickly becomes a must-have for skin seeking comfort.

3. Normal to combination skin: opt for a soap with a low laurel content

Normal to combination skin often seeks balanced care that cleanses without disturbing the skin's balance. The traditional Aleppo soap with 12% laurel oil or the 5% laurel oil are perfectly suited. Milder, they contain a small amount of bay laurel oil and are suitable for daily use for the whole family. The pure olive Aleppo soap, meanwhile, is formulated exclusively from saponified olive oil, for simple, effective care suitable for all skin types. These soaps retain the characteristics of millennia-old know-how: slow cooking in a cauldron, manual shaping, and long air-drying. The result? A raw, effective product that respects your skin and the environment. Use without moderation for a simple and sensory skincare ritual.

How to recognize a real artisanal Aleppo soap?

To recognize a genuine Aleppo soap, a few details make all the difference. Check the composition: only olive oil, bay laurel oil, water, and soda should appear on the label. Look for the soap maker's stamp, a guarantee of authenticity. Observe the exterior color, golden brown, and the interior color, deep green: this contrast is typical of a long drying process. Finally, prioritize transparent channels such as organic stores, which ensure product traceability. Aleppo soap is not just a simple soap: it is a piece of history to incorporate into your beauty routine. Adapted to all skin types depending on its laurel oil content, it stands out as a safe bet, to be rediscovered every day.

Whatever your skin type, there is a Najel Aleppo soap made for you. Choose your laurel percentage, trust the origins, and let yourself be seduced by the authenticity of an ancestral care. A small daily gesture, steeped in tradition, for respected skin, day after day.
