It's not just drying - it takes 6 months for the last of the caustic soda to react with enough of the oil that the pH comes down from 12 to 8.
Exactly! Soaps made this way (fat/lye) need that time to cure or they can burn your skin with how alkaline they are.
That’s what they said in the video 😑😑😑😑
@@LLacethat’s definitely not what she said in the video.
@512squared, yes. As the soap dries it also becomes cured. I merely stated the process in simpler terms, for anyone unfamiliar with soap making.
@@C.O.G. makes sense.

Tip: with any bars of soap buy it and store it away. The longer the storage time the harder the soap becomes. The harder the soap the longer it lasts. Try 6 months / 1 year.
You mean to tell me you haven’t bought a bar of soap in a year?…
Let it last for whatever amount of time. But will it give good quality foam even after 6 months?
I buy in bulk at Costco. So I was doing it right without knowing it😆

I buy imported olive oil soap from Aleppo and it is the best stuff ive ever used. You will be so soft and your skin will feel so light
what is the company you buy it off of ? i would like to buy a soap with only 3 ingredients lol
Wow! After showing us this process, they needed to put where we could purchase this soap. The name of the company please.
@@killersmurfettthis is not the company he is referring to as i don't know what it is but i recommended country rose soap they have olive oil soap with only 3 ingredients :) i prefer there liquid organic olive soap for consistency and everything.

What website do you buy from?
This is the finest type of natural soap, made in Syria, in the city of Aleppo. It is called laurel soap, that is, on the wonderful laurel leaf
مش هذا في نابلس في فلسطين ؟
I guess not anymore since Aleppo was destroyed by Isis.
This is actually Chami soap. It does not contain laurel oil.
It's made with olive oil. They said so in the video.
Where can we buy it?
They should export this product. I respect the way they make the soap. I love it..
Nah, cuz then that's when they start bring on the machines then it won't be made the way it is now. That's how tradition dies.
They do export it :)
You don't know that they already do? 🤦🏽♀️
There isn’t enough chemicals in it for it to be imported into the United States
Easily found in most local health food stores.❤
Best soap ever. Nabulsi from Naples, Palestine.
No chemicals, no harsh ingredients. Smells fresh. And it lasts longer.
do you know what caustic soda even is?
try touching it with your bare hands.
no harsh ingredients my arse lmao
It’s literally made up of chemicals. Look up the meaning of the word chemicals.
Only a theist could say something as silly. Caustic soda, so smooth.
Никакой химии???
Лоооооооол. Это буквально химия
You might want to look into what caustic soda is, since you say no harsh chemicals

@@armageddontools oh. my. god. I need it
This is how Soap of Aleppo is made, though it is also made in other places.
I use this kind of soap both as body wash and shampoo. If you have soft water for rinsing it is great for hair.

@@armageddontoolsnice, which olive oil do you reccomend?
I want dome to try. It’s gotta be good. So long making it.
For anybody interested, you will never regret trying it. In fact, I believe most people would never go back to using manufactured soap once they try traditional olive oil soap.
Can you use it for your face and hair?
@@Blk_tape_ang yes, hair and body. All soap is actually like that. When you use natural soaps the better for skin and hair. This is a basic and simple recipe, very pure....they it should be and the way you want it. 🐸
I tried and it triggered my eczema :( probably still too basic for ny skin :( I wanted to love this soap so bad :(
@@ViziviragI use African black soap for eczema and acne, it works very well when diluted with some water
@@Viziviragmore like the soap is not basic enough. I mean clean, simple ingredients.
One and only product I use in the shower. Now when I use an industrial gel, my skins feels bad and itchy. What I love the most is the almost non existent smell left on the skin. That way I can use perfume later on or not. I rediscovered my own smell, that’s actually pretty cool. And as a deodorant, I only use argan/sweet almond oil. Alep soap + body oil are the only two that I use to clean and smell nice, apart from occasional perfume. I like it that way: simple and very effective.
All that, just to use "industrial" perfume. Seems silly if you think about it.
It may be. But hey, who's perfect in this world? It's a very acceptable compromise in my book 👍
@VoltairesRevenge lol, no it doesn't. Don't overthink it babe lol
@@littlegirlblue9829 It does tho.. referring to it as "Industrial" gel as if there isn't plenty of high quality commercial soap, why wouldnt the same concept apply to your perfume? there's plenty of cheap nasty perfumes too.

I've been using Syrian olive soap for like decade now. It is amazing. You can use it for face, body and hair.

Must confirm it. The recipe is so simple tt there is no garbage additives in it t4 it is so good.
Where can we buy it?
@raizahasmath5580 I'm in Eastern Europe and it is sold on every drug store. It costs from 2 to 5 Euro. The original ones are from Aleppo. There are two brands that I know of Alepia Alep and Najel. There is also something similar to Syrian soap called Marseille soap this French I think, but there are a lot of versions with additives that you would not want. And if we talking about soap I also recommend Maroccan Black Soap, it different it's in a jelly/paste form, but does wonders on skin too.
@@KacperSuhako do you think I'll find it in Paris ? I know Marseilles soap, but I don't find it good for the skin. I would like to try also that black soap you mentioned

The battle of Aleppo during the Syrian civil war 1) wasn't fought by US soldiers and 2) there's no mass graves full of 30,000 people
Try researching the Battle of Aleppo before spouting Russian troll propaganda
Aleppo suffered catastrophic damage during the four-year siege and battle. According to an Amnesty International report, government forces have been responsible for the majority of violations in the conflict in Syria.[116] Ravina Shamdasani, a spokesperson for the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, issued a statement in November 2016 which said that "strikes against hospitals, schools, marketplaces, water facilities and bakeries are now commonplace, and may amount to war crimes".

My grandmother is from Morocco and she has the skin of a baby! For those who wants to read her secrets; don't overexpose yourself in the sun, uses olive soup (sabon beldi) every week at her local hammam and scrub her body until it becomes shiny and top it of with Ghassoul (Moroccan clay) all over her body and even hair and simply rest in the steam because a calm mind and clean body represents a calm and happy life. I started in my teens with these rituals and I live in Europe. We don't have an cheap hammam here so I go there once in a few months but you can have this Ritual just in the comfort in your shower and I swear by it, it always leaves me amazed by the results ❤
No argan oil for your Moroccan granny 😮 ???
Organic is way better than modern profit centric cosmetic products. 👍
@@MuizzHunzukuz Tell me about it, most store bought cosmetics are full of nasty chemicals that shouldn't be legal in cosmetics. I believe in 2019/2020 it was Notre Dame University that did a first of it's kind extensive study where like 500 of the most commonly purchased makeup products in the USA, both high end and drugstore, were examined and they found more than half were contaminated with carcinogens... My Mom was a chemist for years for the largest cosmetic conglomerates in the world such as Estee Lauder and L'Oreal, which between the two of them they basically own almost every mainstream cosmetic company, and I believe some of these chemicals have been wrecking havoc on my mom and her co-workers health. My mom had two bad strokes in a week and many others that worked in my Mom's lab has had strokes, aneurysms, seizures. There also seems to be high rates of cancer within the employees. These people are always sick or dying. My Mom is so messed up from the strokes neurology wise that she can't work anymore but her husband still does work there... It scares me that the US has such lax regulations about cosmetics because they get absorbed through the skin and certain chemicals while being heated can cause serious damage so it's really dangerous to make them too. The FDA proved they can't be trusted to actually put society's health before their own wallets when they accepted money from the DuPonts to look the other way and lie to us when all the DuPont employees were dying, getting cancer at alarming rates and giving birth to seriously deformed babies with major health issues at their WV Teflon facility, even cows that lived miles around the facility were dying from Teflon chemicals. It's disgusting to think that so much of our tax dollars goes to the FDA to protect society's health yet their greedy asses take bribes from companies to be allowed to knowingly poison us
@@hippiebippie8870 Oh yes i forgot, she puts argan oil after she is done with this whole shower ritual, on the roots of her hair and on her face. But not to much. Or use rosewater on her hair, skin (or before applying oil). She likes to use oils in the colder periods and prefers using rosewater in the warmer months. Hope this helped!

This is how it's done in Aleppo, Syria. ❤ the green color comes from another oil we call it ghar (غار) bay leaf oil. It's mostly that oil in addition to olive oil.
Please tell more about
I tried the Aleppo soap over 30 years ago. Dried my skin so badly that I was itching for a month and scratched until I drew blood.
@gabesimmonds8421 buy a good quality one, there are many manufacturers and so many recipes and ingredients. We make our soap at home so we can add or reduce oil content according to our skin type. If the skin is dry we keep less caustic soda [sodium hydroxide (NaoH)] in mixture or add more oil.
So glad to hear good things from Aleppo. I know the war was absolutely terrible there.

Why won't it foam?
@@LauraFunFunFloweriesthe bubbly big foam in soaps shampoo or toothpaste is produced by chemical foaming agents added because people tend to think that if it doesn't foam it doesn't work, but its not necessary
@@LauraFunFunFloweries because it is a chemical free
@@LauraFunFunFloweries it won’t form the big fluffy bubbles because of the properties of the olive oil.
A castille or 100% olive oil soap has a tight creamy lather and usually takes a minimum of 6 months to a year to fully cure and be at its best.
A 100% coconut oils soap will give big fluffy bubbles that disappear quickly.
The best lather (and that is all individual opinion) will usually be formed with a mixture of multiple soft and hard oils and/or butters to get a balanced bar of soap.
For me a castille soap can feel almost slimy because it has such a low, creamy lather and a full coconut oil soap can be extremely drying. I formulated my recipe using a mixture of oils and butters that i found through trial and error feels moisturizing but not slimy and gives me big fluffy bubbles, even though the bubbles are not needed to actually clean the skin, as well as gentle enough for my sensitive skin.

My great great grandfather was from a family of butchers, but he decided to become a soap maker after deciding that the work was not for him. He worked for one of the largest soap makers in the Middle East using this technique along with his son and a nephew.
I make cold process soap as a hobby and i had no idea they made soap like this. Very interesting. I think ill attempt stacking my next batch like this when "curing" next time. Just to see if it speeds up the process.
The pouring sound is pleasing.
In Brazil I grew up seeing the same process in farms, but with lard (usually pork)
Any fat or oil plus a strong alkali/base equals soap. Just make sure you use enough fat to react ALL of the alkali otherwise it can cause a bad chemical burn.
Ngl, that's pretty nasty... using lard from pork💀
@@billbryant7194 that’s very interesting. Back then they’d mastered the ratio by looking at it. I remember there was one specific soap the women would use for their hair (same materials and process, perhaps a little bit of some here and there) - that made their hair look very lustrous. Fascinating to think one day someone way back in the past had an idea to try to mix such materials lol
@@azzamziply3039 I know, it sounds completely rancid. Especially because I grew up in the city, but this was the only way some of my distant relatives at that time could do it, the only way they knew. Tbh the end result, after all that caustic soda mixture the soap never had any smell, it was neutral.
My grandparents were doing the same stuff after they prepared all the meat, plus doing some sort of food from the pork belly that's common in your region as well (Chicharrón)
I make my olive oil soap with the same three ingredients but then I use a croc pot and the soap is ready much sooner. Soap, good clean fun.
