HISTORY
Made from traditional 200g Aleppo Soaps, this Najel compressed soap combines the beneficial properties of Aleppo Soap with the delicious scent of amber and oud.
Its woody odor with oriental overtones comes from the resin of agar, more commonly known as Oud. Its name comes from the Arabic “al-oud", meaning “wood”. This softwood also called the wood of the Gods, is native to Saudi Arabia. It is reputed and esteemed in the world of perfumery for its aromatic qualities.
 
The Al NAJJAR family has been making authentic Aleppo Soap since 1895 in keeping with ancestral artisanal know-how. Aleppo Soap was the first hard soap and has been manufactured for centuries. It is the ancestor of Marseille soap. This know-how is passed down from generation to generation in the Al NAJJAR family’s soap factory in the city of Aleppo in the North of Syria.
Each year from late November to late March, production of the world’s first hard soap starts over again following an unchanged process. The soaps then dry for at least nine months. During this period, the soaps oxidize on the surface and take on a yellow/beige color, whilst the heart of the soap retains the green color of the oils that make it.
NAJEL's Aleppo Soap is made from olive oil and bay laurel oil. Saponified olive oil is a powerful cleanser that nourishes, protects, and softens skin. Bay laurel oil is known for its disinfectant and regenerative properties. The higher its concentration, the more the soap soothes irritated or problem skin (psoriasis, eczema, acne, dermatosis).
