Just punch in Aleppo Soap into your search engine and it will throw up lots of places to look at, you could just head over to eBay if you don't want to have a good look around firstWhere are you guys getting a hold of these soaps?
I like a hard bar soap, but my daughter has sensitive skin so we seem to end up with Dove and similar which goes soggy very quickly - I think some of this might suit everyone's needs and preferences.
Pears soap was a family favourite until they reformulated. It now contains Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. I suffer from psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis, rosacea, and folliculitis. I personally wouldn't use any product with SLS. Traditional soaps are great for skin conditions. I however rely on Christine May sulphur soap for my face. I will be trying birch tar soap in the future.I really am a novice at this. I have always used Pears Soap as a pre-shave soap (I have medically sensitive skin - Psoriasis, so I have to be a little careful as to what I use); are the above mentioned soaps very much better? I have used pre-shave lotions but to me they are meant to act in the same way as a soap, ie get off the natural oils before a applying gel or shaving cream/soaps and then shaving. Am I barking up the wrong tree? Unfortunately, have to use Aqueous Cream to shower with, due to skin condition!
A lovely stash of soaps you have there, that little lot should keep you going for a while!My diminished stock of traditional soap. I probably have a few more bars of Aleppo, I think I put some away for safe keeping. I have now ordered another ten bars of various traditional soaps.

I also use Birch tar soap and sulphur soap from time to time, very good it is too, the smell is not quite as nice as the Aleppo soap but a good soap none the less .

Aqueous Cream usually has SLS. Are you using a SLS free cream? Have you considered an alternative? There are many. I use Diprobase and AproDerm. Thankfully I can shower using soaps. It's shower gels and shampoos with SLS that cause issues.I really am a novice at this.

Yes, there are meant to be only two factories left in Nablus. Although I may have three different wrappers.
Well you recommended birch tar on the other other site, and Blademonkey recommended sulphur soap on here via pm.Yeah, Birch Tar. Superb stuff. Also traditional remedy for northern Europeans.
A pallet full of Aleppo soap, I would!I have been buying various soaps online, and they are now very poor value. I am now considering importing a pallet full.
It will be Olive oil soap with Laurel Berry oil. But not from Syria. And I wouldn't call it Aleppo unless it came from Aleppo. It won't be Turkish.A pallet full of Aleppo soap, I would!P.
A shame what's happened to the soap making industry in Aleppo and Syria as a whole with the war but hopfuly one day we will be able to buy soap from Alleppo again. I was lucky enough to source some that had been made in Aleppo before the soap makers were forced to move out to outlying country's . P.It will be Olive oil soap with Laurel Berry oil.

There is still production there, but the cost of Olive oil soap from the Middle East has increased dramatically. Turkish soap is now being charged at the equivalent rate, yet other established manufacturers in the region, who have establishment dates in the 1930's charge a lot less.A shame what's happened to the soap making industry in Aleppo and Syria as a whole with the war but hopfuly one day we will be able to buy soap from Alleppo again.
