LaurGreen

For over a millennium, the Mediterranean region has witnessed the flourishing of Arab-Islamic culture during its golden age. Aleppo emerged as a pivotal trading hub at the crossroads of the Silk Road leading to the Mediterranean Sea. Merchants from around the world flocked to this city, where bustling markets (souks) and caravanserais (merchant inns) thrived. Soap-making became a popular specialization in Aleppo’s trade, and historical records indicate that during the fifteenth century, more than 500 tons of soap were exported annually to the capital of the Ottoman Empire.

In the seventeenth century, European traders brought the knowledge of soap production back to Europe, ushering in the prosperity of the soap-making industry on the continent.

Today, after many centuries have passed, the Aleppo soap industry proudly endures, preserving its traditions. Its renown extends not only across Arab-Islamic and European regions but also to other countries. For over a thousand years, Aleppo soap has remained beloved, maintaining its enduring popularity.

At LaurGreen, we take pride in the quality of our products, which are 100% handmade using natural materials such as laurel oil and olive oil. We believe that nature provides us with everything we need to take care of our skin, and we are committed to using only the purest ingredients to create our soap.

Our soap is specifically made for LaurGreen in Aleppo and then shipped to our warehouses in Germany, where it is distributed through our online store. We take pride in carrying on the traditions of our ancestors and sharing our passion for handmade natural soap with all of our customers.
