Key Ingredients
Saponified olive oil and saponified laurel berry oil are the core soap ingredients in this traditional Aleppo soap. They help create a gentle cleansing base while respecting the skin’s natural balance. Najel notes that glycerin is naturally created during saponification, then largely rinsed away during the washing of the soap paste, although trace amounts may remain in the final soap.
- Saponified Olive Oil / SODIUM OLIVATE: Forms the gentle cleansing base.
- Saponified Laurel Berry Oil / SODIUM LAURELATE: Supports cleansing and skin comfort.
If you prefer a liquid format, Najel Aleppo liquid soap is also available in 5%, 20%, and 40% laurel oil options. You may also compare other Najel Aleppo soaps by laurel oil percentage.

Product Questions
What does 12% laurel oil mean?
The 12% refers to the proportion of laurel oil used in the soap making formula before saponification. It does not mean the finished soap contains 12% unsaponified laurel oil. After saponification, the oils are transformed into soap ingredients, shown in the INCI list as Sodium Olivate and Sodium Laurelate.How should I choose between different laurel oil percentages?
Laurel oil percentages help compare different Najel Aleppo soaps by formula style. Lower percentages are often chosen for simple daily cleansing, while higher percentages give a richer traditional Aleppo soap profile. Najel positions some higher percentage soaps for dry, sensitive, or reactive skin, but this does not mean every sensitive skin type must choose the highest percentage.Can I use Najel Traditional Aleppo Soap 12% Laurel Oil on the face?
Yes. Najel positions this soap for face and body cleansing. It can be used as a daily cleansing soap for normal skin, and may also suit combination or oily skin depending on skin needs.Is this soap suitable for sensitive or reactive skin?
Najel’s product description mentions sensitive and reactive skin, but skin response can vary. If your skin is very sensitive, start slowly and choose according to how your skin feels after use.How should I store this Aleppo soap?
Keep it in a dry, well ventilated place and let the soap dry between uses. Traditional hard soap can remain in good condition for a long time when stored properly, but the product should not be left soaking in water or kept in a damp environment.
