THE FIRST SOAP EVER CREATED
Traditional Aleppo Soap offers a timeless skincare experience.
FAMILY SOAPMAKERS FOR GENERATIONS
Lowy's is committed to preserving the time-honored techniques and recipe passed down through generations.
HAND-MADE
Lowy's Aleppo Soap makers still use the traditional, artisanal method of saponification to retain the natural color, scent and cleansing virtues of the oils without any artificial preservatives, colorants, fragrances, or toxins of any kind.
HAND-CUT
Meticulous craftsmanship allows Lowy's Aleppo Soap to mature and develop its distinct character. Removing machinery from the process and preserving this ancient technique not only maintains a connection to the cultural heritage. It creates a soap of unparalleled quality, rich in nutrients and gentle on your skin.
HAND-STAMPED
When making the world’s first hard soap, Lowy's Aleppo Soap makers follow the same, unchanged process of individually stamping each soap bar with a seal of authenticity.
HAND-CLEANED
Lowy's Aleppo Soap bars are then lifted carefully and cleaned before being placed in ventilated, subterranean cellars, away from the sun, for optimal storage.
HAND-STACKED
We stack the soap bars in such a way that allows maximum air exposure; then leave them to age like this for 7 months.
DRY-AGED
During the minimum 7-month drying period, Lowy's Aleppo Soap bars oxidize at the surface and takes on a golden color outside while retaining an olive green color inside.
HAND-CRAFTED
Once the drying period is over, Lowy's Aleppo Soap bars are cleaned again, packaged and ready to be delivered to you.
The Power of Laurel Oil
SUSTAINABILITY
BIODIVERSITY
PRESERVATION
Laurel oil is pressed from an indigenous Mediterranean forest plant, Laurus Nobilis, one of Earth's very few underutilized species. Not only is this plant environmentally sustainable, it has the capacity to be used more widely and has yet to reach its full ecological potential!
Laurus nobilis is not as well-known as some other herbs and spices, such as rosemary and thyme, there is less demand for it, which also contributes to its underutilization.
Laurus nobilis takes a long time to mature, so it's less attractive to commercial growers who are looking for plants that can be harvested more quickly

HOW IT WORKS
For every bar of soap that you purchase, we'll donate one bar of soap to a person seeking refuge. Through our local partner NGO, we will distribute the soap to refugee camps in short supply, helping to improve the inhabitant's health and well-being.
WHY WE DO IT
We believe that everyone deserves to have access to clean, safe soap. Refugees are often forced to flee their homes with little more than the clothes on their backs. They may not have access to basic necessities like soap, which can put their health at risk.
WHEN TO START
You can help us make a difference by purchasing a bar of soap today. Your purchase will help to provide clean, safe soap to people in need.
Harvesting our ingredients by hand from wild plants, in their natural habitat, preserves biodiversity and prevents genetic modifications of any kind. Lowy's Aleppo Soap is made from natural ingredients that break down in the environment without harming it. The olive and laurel oils used in production are harvested from slow-growing trees that can live for hundreds of years and do not require a lot of water to grow.
