Savon d’Alep, AKA Aleppo Soap, is a traditional handcrafted cleanser from balthazar & rose, a towel and soap company based in Los Angeles.

Why do we like balthazar & rose‘s Aleppo Soap so much?

It’s for both face and body, consists of only 4 ingredients (olive oil, laurel bay oil, lye and water) in its fragrance-free form, and has no parabens or artificial coloring.

In addition, the soap is made by a seasoned Syrian soap master, who maintains a +1,000-year-old tradition after having to flee his worn-torn country.

If that's not enough, the soap is packaged in Los Angeles by Homeboy Industries, providing jobs for formerly incarcerated youth; with balthazar & rose providing a portion of the proceeds to Syrian refugees via the Jesuit Refugee Service.

Price: $12 (100-gram bar of soap, lasts 4-5 weeks); and $16 (200-gram bars of soap, lasts 8-10 weeks).
