The similarity of olive oil’s composition to sebum, given by its high content of squalene, β-sitosterol, optimum fatty acids and its wealth of antioxidant substances, makes it particularly able to protect and hydrate the skin.
Laurel berry oil is recognised for its antibacterial, antiseptic and lenitive properties.
The saponification of olive oil and laurel oil is achieved through the traditional method of hydrolysis with water and an alkaline base (sodium hydroxide for solid soap or potassium hydroxide for liquid soap). The ancient craft mastered by Aleppian soapmakers allows for the full saponification of all ingredients, guaranteeing a uniquely gentle cleansing experience.
