First, what does this percentage mean? Aleppo soap is a balance between olive and bay leaf. Olive oil gives the soap its legendary softness. Bay leaf oil gives it strength, fragrance, and dermatological benefits. The percentage indicated on Aleppo soaps corresponds to the proportion of bay leaf oil in its composition. For example, a 20% Aleppo soap is composed of 20% bay leaf oil and 80% olive oil. The higher the percentage of bay leaf oil, the greater its therapeutic properties for the skin.

The big question remains, what percentage is right for me?

A soap with a lot of olive oil will be very gentle on the skin, and high-percentage Aleppo soap is useful for people suffering from skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. The high content of laurel oil is beneficial for relieving these conditions. Laurel berry oil is decongestant, antiparasitic, and effective against skin inflammation, to name a few.

Some people wonder, why not 50%, 70%, or even 100% laurel? Some large soap makers have overcome the technical hurdles and acquired the know-how to produce such soaps, but they don’t do so in large quantities because it would require a significant investment due to the price of laurel berry oil.
