Green Bear Natural Genuine Traditional hand made Aleppo Soap - Olive & Laurel Oil 200gm

What a great product .. I’ve been using Aleppo soap for a while now (from different brands etc) and this one is really good !It’s quite big so a bit weird to use and not very practical but I won’t judge on this as you get a bigger quantity than a lot of other shops !Just be aware, I use it for my face and it stings the eyes A LOT if you are not careful ! This is normal and it’s not caused from chemicals as all do the same ! Just be aware of it.

The soap sits there, steady, its scent faint but true. A simple thing, but good. I’ve used it near ten months now, and it remains, unmoved, unyielding. It’ll last another six, maybe more. There’s a quiet dignity in its endurance, a quiet testament to value. For what was paid, it seems it will outlast.

This worked well for me who has very sensitive skin. But the big cube bar is hard to use, so I cut it in two with a kitchen knife to make two conventionally shaped soap bars. There's a reason they're normally that size, it appears.

This soap feels moisturizing with its olive oil content and although not frothy it does have a lovely very gentle lather. It comes as a big brown/beige block which is a bit cumbersome to use but I don't mind that as the moisturizing quality overcomes any awkwardness to handle. It doesn't really have a scent - just an olive, slightly 'muddy' touch of scent which if you are used to olive products probably would be fine. I like the soap and would consider buying it again. It may seem a bit expensive for a bar of soap, but given the time and procedure involved in making it, which takes about a year, I do not think it unreasonable.

Very good quality product .I recommended.

The product is ok but the price is very expensive

We were introduced to the Aleppo soap in a market on holiday and immediately hooked on the product. Regularly washing with this soap has prevented dry itchy skin and we would not go back to ‘normal’ soap. Used in the shower all over for hair & body, great, it definitely helps sensitive skin and the oils work wonders. Cut a chunk off for a family member who has had radiation treatment for cancer around the neck, so very sensitive and he now swears by it.However there are many versions (copies) out there and we have bought some that are not the genuine article, we tried Green Bear Amity and at last a GENUINE Aleppo soap. This soap proved to be the most cost effective of all tried and with the best results, the whole family are now using it including our new baby addition, so very pleased.

I saw a video of this being made on facebook and was intrigued as to what it was like, so bought a bar. Its definitely genuine and has a not unpleasant but quite distictive aroma slightly musty due to the method of production and ageing process. As it is quite large with sharp edges I tried to cut it into smaller manageable pieces with limited sucess as it is extremely hard, it may be a good idea to sell it cut into smaller pieces? Despite this and the reasonably high cost presumably due to import costs I think it will last a long time so it's not bad value.
