Aleppo Soap, the Authentic Natural Soap, 40% Laurel Berry Fruit Oil - Hot Process-Swan Soap and Such
Aleppo Soap, the Authentic Natural Soap, 40% Laurel Berry Fruit Oil - Hot Process-Swan Soap and Such
This is my first attempt to make this historical natural soap by the HOT PROCESS method.
From SoapHistory.Net
"Aleppo Soap originated from the Syrian city of Aleppo, one of the most oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world that has stood in its place for more than 8 thousand years, being witness to the rise and falls of many empires, expansion of the culture across the world and the bridging of the connections between east and west at the start of European renaissance. This ancient city thrived on trade for thousands of years, and was famous for being the endpoint of the famous Silk Road that bridged East and the West world before the advancement of sea trade routes in the “Age of Sail”.
One of the most important trade items of the city of Aleppo is without a doubt their unique soap that was made by the generations of merchant families and manufacturers for thousands of years. Formula and manufacturing process for this highly prized soap did not change over time and is still today preformed in its original form - olive oil, sweet bay oil and water are mixed with sodium hydroxide, heated and then left to cool. Soap is cut from the form, and then left to age in the shade for minimum of seven months, during which time soap will change its color from green to its trademark brown.
People from all around the world who visited Aleppo quickly realized that the claims of the soap salesman are true. Natural and biodegradable Aleppo soap is one of the most famous beauty products of the old age, natural moisturizer and humectant, so pure in its form (it has no preservatives, chemical additives or fragrances) that it is used by many for washing babies."

hi, currently from Broken Arrow, Ok, this is a wonderful video. Thank you. I hope every things been well it's 3 yrs since publishing video. This is very interesting. far from Granny of Beverly Hillbillies making soap, lol. your skin looks amazing.
What could you have said for 34 minutes?
Favorite hot process soap!! Use rose petals!!
Thank you!
Cynthia VERY FINE 1ST VIDEO!
Made a 20% pine tar soap, and its darker in color, and fewls amazing on the skin ❤
Awesome! ❤
Where is recipe
I have that same crockpot and those soap chunks form because the heating element is along the bottom edge. You literally have to scrap the "corners" of that bottom rim to get the soap off those heating elements. Hope that helps.
Thank you so much! 😊
I enjoyed this so much, lovely soaps. And I was curious about this FO, sounds wonderful, but I’d say it discolors at least a bit.
That’s gorgeous soap! Does the turmeric bleed onto your washcloth, skin or stain your tub?
Actually, no it doesn’t, but I don’t add too much! Thanks for asking! 🤎🤎🤎
I enjoyed your video. I use the pine tar as an ingredient, heated with my oils before saponification. It helps with the emulsion and speeds up the process with HP nicely. Thanks for sharing.
Merhaba bunu yapmayı düşünüyorum ama alt yazı seçenekleri arasında Türkçe yok ekler misin
Im just watching it now. I love watching the process! May I ask what is the alcohol for when you put the petals please?
Hi ModenWomenofFaith, I sprayed with 91% Isopropyl Alcohol. Thanks for watching! ❤️
What are the measurements of the oils in the crockpot? What heat setting and for how long?
Hi, my oil measurements are proprietary so I don't give those out at this time. I use the low setting on the crock pot for about an hour. Thanks for asking.
Lovely, need lots of patience
Yes, patience, especially because you have to extract the jewel weed from the plant, filter, and freeze the liquid. Thanks for watching! If you have subscribed you'll be notified when I resume videos soon! 💝
Beautiful soap!!! May I ask how the colors held up after the curing process?
Hi the Turmeric held up pretty good, but the other, green, not do much. You really have to add much more than you think. Course it did take a long time to fade ( a year). Thanks for asking! Blessings to you!
How can i make one bar of soap؟
First, do you know how to make soap and follow all the safety guidelines? Usually, making a melt and pour soap, it’s possible make one bar of soap. To make cold process requires much more knowledge. Further, buying Laurel berry fruit oil is very expensive and you would need to buy more oil than for just one bar. It certainly is less expensive to buy a soap you like from a reputable seller of handcrafted soap. Thanks for asking!
Thank you you did a very good job very clear I enjoyed it
Thank you so much!
you did a good job and a wonderful tutorial. tyvm
Thank you for watching and commenting! Blessings to you!<><
Great job. Enjoyed it. Want to start making hot process soap. Going to make it. Love the benefits of Miranda and turmeric. Use in all my products 😂
Thanks for watching and commenting! Have fun with your hot process! Blessings!
@@cynthialage5512 Thank you.
Your soaps came out beautifully. I would try mixing the two types of flower petals. I’m a new subscriber
Thank you for your subscription and your comment. Mixing is good! Thanks!
Thanks for subbing! And I like them both too!
Can’t wait to try this! Thank you!
when can i add fragrance in hot process?
Yes, you can add fragrance to hot process soap. Although you may not want to with this soap! Thanks for watching and commenting! Blessings!
Good day ma'am, Can I ask how did you measure the 4 percent sulfur? Thanks in advanced.
I just watched your hot process pine tar video…is the end product better with HP/CP or no difference noted? 🤔
Merhaba bu sabunu yapmak istiyorum ama alamıyorum lütfen altyazı seçeneklerine Türkçeyide eklermisin.
why must the aloe be frozzen? Thanks for answer Edward
We’re trying not to scorch the aloe with the lye as we mix it. Thanks for asking!
Why don't you use the stick blender when the soap was cooked for a while and looks harder in the middle? Is there a special reason?
It would burn out the stick blender in my opinion. Thanks for asking!! 😊
I appreciate your tutorial! I spent countless hours and days watching a lot of soap making videos , bought everything and then some and it’s sitting in my shed .. I just didn’t get the business of it. But you remind me how fun it is .. when that lye hits oil whew I’m smiling inside! thanks for sharing this video
Thank you for your comment! I too started by watching video after video of soap making. After a time, I gleaned some important details which I put into practice. I enjoy making a well balanced soap that cleans without stripping the skin. Practice making small one pound batches. Have family and friends use the soap you make. Ask them to let you know how they like it as their payment. When you’re ready take your batches to craft fairs to help pay for the Ingredients. Have fun and continue to learn. 😊
This is exactly the soap I want to make! Thanks! Where can I find the recipe?
You can use any soap recipe. I just substituted the water portion with the aloe, which I sliced and froze, and the cucumber that I juiced and froze. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Just a suggestion....your video could’ve been shortened quite a bit. We don’t need to see continuous stirring every time.
I agree! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Hi mom!! So proud of you!! Your doing such amazing things!! Love you
Thank you my dear son!!
Hi lovely lady ♥️ how can I get the receipe of this soap?
You can use any soap recipe to make this soap. I used some lard which is usually more fluid in hot process soap. Thank you for watching and commenting
The blending process is very technical, not adding air.
No recipe! 👎🏻
Could you share which oils you used?
Hi Suelu, I use lard, coconut, Shea and avocado oils! Thanks for asking!
Looking nice shop
Lard ???? From pig !!!?....i thought the oils to makes soap only from plant.....not from animal....and im so sad that i could not used lard bcz im a muslim.....i would be be very thanksfull if you can suggest me to subtitute the lard to something else !!? Thanks
You can use plant oils of your choice for the recipe. Lard is used in hot process soap to help keep the batter fluid longer. You can hold some of the water out to add at the end to loosen the batter also. Adding sodium lactate at the end helps too. Thanks for watching! Blessings!
TFS I love that you don’t do all that constant stirring and banging on the side of the crockpot 😬😬😬
Yes, thank you! I don’t like all the stirring and banging either! Blessings for a great new year! 🥰😁
TFS…I’ve made ‘Aleppo-type” soap 3 times and made it differently each time🤣…30% laurel berry/50% laurel berry and 70%(read online that authentic soap is actually 70%) I also cook the evoo first and then add laurel berry and I have also added cocoa butter….I love it for myself😍
Thanks for watching and commenting! Which way did you like your soap best? 💚
@@swansoap the one with added cocoa butter…I think it was 70% laurel berry oil which is not economical for selling but it’s wonderful on my skin
I love your Lavender soap . Thank you for sharing this lovely soap video. Merry Christmas 🎄 Cynthia.
Thank you so much! Merry Christmas and blessings to you and your family! 💜💜💜
Congratulations on being monetize the moringa look better
Thank you for watching! I love the moringa too! Blessings 💚
I love watching your videos where did you get the molds from?
I got the molds from EssentialDepot.com They are awesome molds!
Wow, how did I miss this one? Those came out so cute! I love using cookie cutters on soap, it makes perfect embeds! I love how cool your frame turned out! :)
Hello sweet Lady! Thanks for watching! Cookie cutters in soap works well for me! I sure have many more mouse heads!!! Guess I’ll have to make another! Blessings to you! 🐭
Look how RICH that batter is, it looks delicious. I love Aleppo Soap
Thank you dear Karen!! It’s going to be a long cure. In a month they’ve gone from over 8 ounces to 6.5 ounces. It is interesting to make! You made one too!
Thanks! Great tutorial!👍🤗🤗😘
Thanks for watching! Such a fun soap and luxurious! Blessings 💚
I would recommend you look into fast hair growth fortified shampoo.
Thank you so much! I will! Blessings!
Did you heat the tar first? How was it so fluid?
No I didn’t hear the pine tar…room temperature. Thanks for asking! Blessings
Lard keeps it more fluid
Thank you for your video share! Can't wait to try this. What do you think about using French Green Clay rather than Kaolin?
Thanks for watching! French green clay would be perfect! The color in my soap didn’t hold, so green clay would be a really good choice! Blessings 💚
They are gorgeous my friend. I hope all is well with you and the family.
Thank you Renee! They turned out well. Family is doing well, thanks sweet friend and sister! 💜💜💜
You did such a wonderful job on these Cynthia. Super Duper Cute. May the Lord bless you and keep you my friend. Sending hugs.
Blessings dear Renee! Love and big fat hugs! 💚🖤❤️🤍💙
