The origin of Aleppo soap is unknown. Unverified claims of its great antiquity abound, such as its supposed use by Queen Cleopatra of Egypt and Queen Zenobia of Syria. Traditional Aleppo soap is made with olive oil, laurel berry oil (zeit ghar), water and lye, while the relative concentration of laurel oil (typically 2–20%) determines the quality and cost of the soap.

Our Toleppo is a castile soap inspired with this ancient Aleppo soap, and is handcrafted in Toronto, hence the name – Toleppo.

It is made with non-GMO olive oil and laurel berry fruit oil. This special oil is known as great cleanser and combined with olive oil works to produce a very gentle soap good for even the most sensitive skin. It produces lotion-like suds and softens and moisturizes your skin. Ancient combination for a contemporary times – this winner is hard to beat in your everyday self grooming routine!
