Our Story
At Soapna d’Alep, we don’t just sell soap—we carry forward a tradition that has endured for centuries.
Our story begins far from Germany, in the historic city of Aleppo—a place long known as the birthplace of one of the world’s oldest soaps. For generations, Aleppo soap has been crafted using a simple, time-honored method: olive oil, laurel oil, water, and patience.
That tradition is the foundation of everything we do.
From Aleppo to Germany
Soapna d’Alep was established in Germany with a clear purpose: to bring authentic Aleppo soap—made the right way—back into everyday life.
We work directly with the renowned Syrian soap-making family Mousbah Zanabili Family, whose expertise and reputation are deeply rooted in the heritage of Aleppo soap production.
Despite the challenges faced in recent years, their craft has remained unchanged—slow, careful, and honest.
Every bar we offer reflects that commitment.
A Craft That Refuses to Change
In a world full of shortcuts, Aleppo soap stands apart. It is still made using traditional methods:
- Cooked in large vats over several days
- Poured, cut, and stamped by hand
- Aged naturally for months—sometimes years
- No synthetic fragrances
- No unnecessary additives
- No compromises
Just a formula that has worked for over a thousand years.
Why We Believe in Aleppo Soap
Aleppo soap has earned its place through simplicity and reliability.
It is valued for:
- Its minimal, natural ingredients
- Its long-lasting quality
- Its versatility for everyday use
This isn’t a trend product. It’s a product that has outlived trends.
Our Commitment
At Soapna d’Alep, we focus on doing things properly—without shortcuts and without compromise.
- Authenticity – We source directly from traditional producers
- Transparency – You know exactly what goes into each bar

We don’t try to modernize Aleppo soap for the sake of trends. We simply make sure you receive the real thing—just as it has been made for generations.
