How is Aleppo Soap made?
Olive oil is mixed in large cauldrons with an aqueous solution of an
alkali - soda ash. Originally the soda ash was obtained from a desert
plant, the salsola kali. But recently this has been replaced by
industrially produced soda ash.
The mixture is heated to more than 200 degrees Celsius and stirred until
the oil fully decomposes yielding glycerin and the sodium salt of olive
oil. This process is called ‘saponification’. Towards the end of the
initial process, bayberry oil is added to the mixture and further
saponification takes place.
The caustic soda solution is drained from the cauldron and the soap
mixture is washed with fresh water until tested free of any alkalinity.
It is drained again and left overnight to slightly cool and to further
drain excess water.

Ghar soap -Aleppo soap - The First Hard Soap in the World...
Aleppo Soap is an authentic product, with its origins dating back
thousands years. The production of the soap was known at the time of the
Phoenicians (3rd Millennium – 13th century B.C.), who probably developed
it in North-West Syria. But at this time it was just a simple soapy
emulsion in a semi-liquid state.
Knowledge about soap dates back an extremely long time, as it was
mentioned in two books of the Bible (Jeremiah and Malachi) and by
authors such as Theocrities (sapônion), Paulus Aegineta (sapôn) and even
Pliny the Elder, who described soap (sapo) in his "Natural history".
It was in Aleppo that two major innovations led to soap as we know it
today to be made: Causticizing and the use of Olive Oil. This is how the
first hard soaps were made in the 8th century in Aleppo - where outfits
for making soap have since been created and become organised.
Following the Crusades, production of this soap was extended to the
whole Mediterranean area. The first European soap-making outfits were
created in the 12th century in Spain (Alicante, Malaga, Carthagene) and
in Italy (Naples, Savone, Genoa, Bologna, Venice) and then, in the
middle of the 15th century, in Marseille, for which the Soap - Savon de
Marseille - is a replica of Aleppo Soap. To put it broadly, Aleppo Soap
is at the origin of all hard soaps throughout the whole world.
