Among the casualties in Aleppo, an ancient olive oil soap

82% olive oil, 12% laurel oil and soda. There are only three ingredients in the world’s oldest soap: the soap of Aleppo. The product has been the same for centuries beyond the walls of the historic citadel of Aleppo, in Northern Syria. Being all natural without any synthetics or other additives, the soap of Aleppo is made from local olive oil, and it is renowned for its beneficial effects on the skin.
