Reawakening the Ancient Art of Soap with Laurel Savon: A Journey Back to Syria’s “Green Gold”

New Delhi [India] September 3: In a world teeming with modern conveniences, it’s easy to overlook the humble beginnings of some of the most essential products we use today. Soap, an everyday staple in our lives, has a history that stretches back to the dawn of civilisation. Among the many varieties that have emerged over the centuries, one stands out for its age and enduring legacy—Aleppo soap, also known as Laurel Soap, the ‘mother of all soaps.’

Aleppo soap, often called Syria’s “green gold,” is more than just a cleanser; it’s a testament to centuries of artisanal craftsmanship and tradition. Originating from the ancient city of Aleppo in northwestern Syria, this soap has been crafted using the same methods for over 2,500 years. The first hard bar soap in the world, Aleppo soap is a luxurious blend of olive and laurel oil, carefully mixed, heated, and aged to perfection.

This miraculous soap, a favourite of historical figures like Queen Cleopatra of Egypt and Queen Zenobia of Syria, owes its fame not only to its effectiveness but also to the meticulous process by which it is made. In Aleppo, generations of merchant families and artisans have passed down the secrets of this craft, creating a product that remains unrivalled in its purity and benefits.
