Chemical-free natural soap which has an ancient history in Aleppo, Syria
OVER A THOUSAND YEARS AGO…
About 1,000 years ago, when Japan lived in the noble Heian Era, the Mediterranean Region lived in the golden age of the Arab-Islamic culture. The City of Aleppo flourished as a major trading center on the cross road of the Silk Road to the Mediterranean Sea. Many merchants came to this City from all over the world. Markets(Souks) and Caravanserai( inns for the merchants and camels ) were prosperous. Soap was one of their popular specialties of Aleppo to trade. There is a record that during the 15th century, more than 500 tons of soap were exported annually to the capital city of the Ottoman Empire. At the time of the 17th century the know-how of soap making was brought by European Merchants to Europe, and the boom of soap making came to Europe. And now, after many years having passed since then, Aleppo soap making is still proudly continuing and preserving its tradition. Its fame is spread not only in the Arab-Islamic and European regions, but also in other countries. Over 1,000 years Aleppo soap is loved and its popularity still remains strong.
