SYR Handel

 SYR Handel offers high-quality laurel soaps, also known as Aleppo soaps. Aleppo soap / laurel soap is a versatile soap made from olive oil (Olea europaea) and laurel berry oil (Laurus nobilis), extracted from the fruits of the laurel tree. The laurel tree primarily grows in Syria and around the Mediterranean. The oil-based Aleppo soap has been made in the same way since 0 B.C. and does not dry out the skin or hair. Instead, it helps soothe the skin and is perfect for those with sensitive skin, eczema, or extremely dry skin. The final color of the Aleppo soap depends on the amount of laurel berry oil it contains – the more oil, the darker the shade. Aleppo soap has been produced in Syria for over 2,000 years and is considered one of the most prestigious soaps in the world. It is believed to be the precursor to Marseille soap and many other well-known soaps from the Mediterranean region.
