Sabun, also known as Savon d’Alep, hails from the ancient city of Aleppo, Syria, and is widely regarded as the original olive oil soap—dating back centuries. Once the soap of choice in Hammams (traditional bathhouses), its rich history and enduring popularity speak to its exceptional quality.

Mohammed - The Syrian soap Master
Every bar of Sabun is handcrafted by Mohammed, a master soap maker from Aleppo, Syria — the birthplace of this ancient tradition. When war forced him to flee Syria in 2012, Mohammed carried with him centuries of knowledge and a determination to keep the art of Savon d'Alep alive. In 2014, he established his factory in Turkey using the same traditional methods and raw materials from Aleppo, creating jobs and preserving a 1,000-year-old craft.

Sabun Frequently Asked Questions
What is natural soap? Is Sabun Natural?
Sabun is a natural soap - Natural soaps do not contain any artificial ingredients, harmful chemicals or perfumes. Many soaps contain synthetic preservatives, fragrances, colours , emulsifiers and other ingredients – some of which many people are allergic to such as Tetrasodium EDTA, DEA, BHT, formaldehyde, and lanolin which are known skin irritants.
Many commercial soaps are made from animal tallow or fats – look for the ingredient sodium tallowate on the label. Animal fats block the skins pores.
Sabun is not made from any animal fats but just olive and laurel oils - it contains 80% olive oil which serves as a natural humectant for the skin - helping the skin to retain its moisture and olive oil doesn’t block the skins - it lets it breathe.
Is sabun ok to use on eczema?
Sabun has proven to be good for those people who have eczema due to allergies to certain chemicals which they are putting on their skin by using commercial soaps, moisturizers and other cosmetics. The above chemicals are common in many cosmetics and soaps.
Since Sabun has no synthetic ingredients - unless you are allergic to olive oil or laurel oil - then it should be very soothing on the skin.
The olive oil also serves as a good relief to exceptionally dry skin as it helps the skin maintain its natural moisture.
Why is olive oil good for your skin?
Olive oil has some unique characteristics that make it not only a great medium for a soap base but it is full of beneficial factors that your skin needs. The human skin has the ability to draw in what it needs in the amount it needs and reject what it is sufficiently supplied with.
The natural properties of olive oil used in sabun also acts as a natural protector of the skin, helping to shield it from the harmful rays of the sun and some of the toxins and pollutants in the air that can damage it.
