Discovering Natural Soap Care Why These Bars Matter
In the skincare world, where countless products promise miracles, the true secret often lies in returning to nature’s simplicity. Handcrafted soaps made with pure, time-tested ingredients offer a refreshing alternative to chemical-laden formulas. Avlia’s collection of natural soaps — from the purifying pine, juniper, and sulfur blend to the traditional Aleppo bars enriched with laurel and olive oils — exemplifies this harmony between tradition and modern skincare. Each bar is thoughtfully formulated to target specific needs, whether it’s oily, acne-prone, dry, or sensitive skin. Beyond cleansing, they soothe, balance, and nourish the skin, leaving it healthier and more radiant. These artisanal creations celebrate the age-old art of soapmaking, where every ingredient serves a purpose and every use feels like a moment of self-care. If you’re ready to experience skincare that’s simple, natural, and deeply effective, these soaps are where the journey begins.
1. Nature’s Remedy for Oily, Sensitive Skin
Natural Pine, Juniper & Sulfur Soap for Oily Skin & Eczema Relief bar is specifically formulated for oily skin, blemishes, even eczema. The key ingredients: natural sulfur, juniper berry extract, pine needle extract, and olive oil.
What makes it special
Sulfur is known for its antimicrobial and oil-balancing properties. According to the product description, it helps reduce irritation, itchiness, blemishes and supports clearer smoother skin.
Juniper and pine bring botanical cleansing support: juniper berry extract and pine needle extract help balance excess sebum and calm flare-ups.
Olive oil as a base keeps the soap hydrating rather than aggressively stripping the skin.
Who should use it
If you have oily skin, frequent breakouts, visible pores, or suffer from mild eczema/psoriasis symptoms, this bar is a strong option.
Also helpful for someone who wants one bar that works for face and body (e.g., oily back, chest acne) and is OK with a bit of herbal/woody scent.
2. From Ancient Origins to Modern Rituals
Aleppo Soap Bar – 5% to 60% Laurel Oil, All-Natural & Handcrafted is a flexible offering, a classic version of the Aleppo-style soap where you can choose the percentage of laurel oil (5% up to 60%) depending on your skin needs.
What makes it special
The tradition: Aleppo soap is one of the oldest soaps in the world, originally made in the city of Aleppo in Syria. It uses olive oil + laurel berry oil + water + lye.
The laurel oil percentage is key: the higher the percentage, the stronger the purifying/antiseptic effect.
Simple ingredient list, biodegradable, minimal additives. Ideal for eco-conscious and sensitive skin users.
Who should use it
For normal to dry skin & daily use: the lower percentages (5%–10%) are a gentle yet effective choice.
For acne-prone, oily, troubled skin: higher percentages (30%–60%) bring stronger purifying action.
For hair/scalp use: the product page indicates you can use Aleppo soap as shampoo too.
3. Gentle Care Rooted in Tradition
Avlia Aleppo Soap Bar – 16% Laurel Oil – Traditional Olive Oil Soap for Daily Care version is a specific percentage (16%) laurel oil + olive oil, crafted for daily care across skin types.
What makes it special
Balanced ratio: 84% olive oil and 16% laurel oil. Among the mid-range percentages, this provides a good mix of gentle cleansing + daily nourishment.
Handmade, cold-process, aged 6+ months. Free of artificial fragrance, colorants, preservatives. Vegan, cruelty-free, eco-friendly packaging.
Fits normal, combination, sensitive skin types beautifully.
Who should use it
If you have everyday skincare needs (face & body) and want a soap bar that is natural and versatile.
If you want something gentler than a very high laurel oil % (like 60%) but still more benefit than the basic 5% version.
Ideal for users who prefer minimal ingredients, clean labels, and ethical production.
4. Intense Nourishment, Timeless Craft
Avlia Aleppo Soap Bar – 60% Laurel Oil – Artisan Handmade Olive Oil Soap is the strongest version in terms of laurel oil content listed here. Ideal for users looking for a serious purifying/therapeutic effect.
What makes it special
60% laurel oil means a high concentration of the active herb oil that traditional soap-makers attribute to antiseptic, antibacterial, antifungal properties.
Handmade artisan quality means this bar is likely denser, longer-lasting, and crafted with more care.
Especially good for skin conditions, body acne, or scalp use for dandruff or fungal issues.
Who should use it
For oily-skin users, acne-prone situations, or those with scalp issues (dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis).
For users who already know Aleppo soap and want to upgrade to a more potent version.
For hair-care as a soap bar alternative — the high laurel content offers strong cleansing.
For body use in areas prone to irritation, sweat, body acne (back, chest) or fungal-type issues (feet, etc).
Why Choose These Soaps Over Conventional Ones?
Here’s a quick comparison of what sets these soaps apart and why they’re worth considering:
Minimal ingredient lists: Less chance of irritation from synthetic fragrances, preservatives, sulfates.
Traditional craftsmanship: The ageing/curing process and oil ratios emphasise gentler, deeper cleansing and nourishment. From the 16% version product page: “Hand-crafted using traditional methods and aged for over six months.”
Multi-functional: Many users can use one soap for face, body, and even hair — especially the Aleppo bars.
Eco & skin friendly: Vegan, cruelty-free, biodegradable, palm-oil free in many cases; packaging often plastic-free.
Tailored to skin type: With the laurel oil percentages you can choose based on your skin needs — gentle (5-10%) to strong purifying (60%).
Longevity: Because they are dense, hard soaps that dry between uses, they tend to last longer if cared for properly.
