Unlock Ancient Wisdom for Your Skin’s Deepest Comfort.
Experience the Legendary Soothe of Laurel Berry.
Step back in time and discover a skincare tradition cherished for millennia. Our Ancient Laurel Berry Soap is the perfect soap for sensitive skin, inspired by the legendary soaps of Aleppo, Syria – a city that has gifted the world what many believe to be the oldest and purest form of soap known.
At the heart of this ancient recipe lies the remarkable oil pressed from the berries of the noble Laurel tree (Laurus nobilis), a botanical treasure native to the Mediterranean. For centuries, this ‘green gold’ has been revered for its profound ability to purify, soothe, and restore harmony to troubled skin, making it a truly precious ingredient for those seeking authentic, time-tested care.
Inspired by this rich heritage, our Ancient Laurel Berry Soap offers a time-tested path to peace for your skin. Do you dream of finding a cleanser so pure that it speaks directly to your sensitive skin’s deepest needs? If you’re weary of fleeting fixes and long for lasting comfort from redness, irritation, and that all-too-familiar feeling of skin distress, this is your answer.
We honour this legacy by patiently crafting our soap with a generous 20% Laurel Berry Oil and nurturing Olive Oil.
This isn’t just a cleansing bar; it’s an homage to ancient skincare wisdom, meticulously cured over three to six months to ensure the gentlest touch and most profound benefits for your skin. Imagine your skin, day by day, feeling more comfortable, looking clearer, and showing a resilience you thought was lost.

Laurel Berry Oil Soap (Aleppo Soap): Science & Ingredients
At Ossie Naturals, we believe in transparency and the intelligent application of nature's wisdom. This section provides a comprehensive look at the carefully selected ingredients that make our Ancient Laurel Berry Oil Soap so effective for pure comfort and lasting skin health.
Key Ingredients & Their Gentle Power:
Our Ancient Laurel Berry Soap (Aleppo) is crafted from a deliberately simple and potent blend of nature's finest traditional oils:
✓ Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Olea Europaea Fruit Oil): The nurturing foundation of this ancient soap. Rich in antioxidants and vitamins, Olive Oil provides a deeply moisturising and exceptionally gentle cleanse, helping to soften the skin and protect its natural barrier without causing dryness.
✓ Laurel Berry Oil (Laurus Nobilis Fruit Oil): The treasured hero ingredient. This precious oil, from the berries of the noble laurel tree, has been revered for centuries for its potent purifying, soothing, and calming properties. It is particularly beneficial for skin prone to sensitivities, itchiness, redness, and conditions like eczema or psoriasis, helping to bring comfort and clarity.
✓ Citric Acid: We incorporate a small amount of this natural acid into our recipe. Derived from citrus fruits, it plays a key role in preventing soap scum, especially in hard water areas. This ensures a cleaner rinse for your skin, a brighter feel, and a more pleasant overall experience, leaving no unwanted residue.
✓ Aqua (Water), Sodium Hydroxide: Essential components in the traditional saponification process that transform these beautiful oils into a solid, gentle bar of soap. No Sodium Hydroxide remains in the final, cured bar.
Full Ingredient List (INCI):
Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Aqua (Water), Laurus Nobilis (Laurel) Fruit Oil, Sodium Hydroxide, Citric Acid.
How to Use & Skin Type
How to Use & Skin Type: Your Ritual for Ancient Purity & Soothing Comfort
How to Enjoy Your Ancient Laurel Berry Soap:
Our Ancient Laurel Berry Soap is a testament to timeless wisdom, offering a unique and profoundly gentle cleansing experience.
✓ Lather Gently: Wet the bar and work up a surprisingly creamy lather between your hands. While traditional Laurel Berry soaps are not high-foaming, the lather is rich, effective, and feels wonderfully soft.
✓ Cleanse with Care: Massage the gentle lather over your face and/or body. This soap is renowned for being gentle enough for both, providing a pure and soothing cleanse. Pay particular attention to areas needing extra comfort or relief.
✓ Rinse Well: Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, ensuring all lather is removed, leaving your skin feeling clean, calm, and refreshed.
✓ Pat Dry: Gently pat your skin dry with a soft towel. Follow with an Ossie Naturals moisturiser if your skin needs extra hydration, especially after bathing or in drier climates.
✓ Preserve Your Treasure: This soap is precious due to its traditional crafting and long curing time. Allow it to dry completely on a well-draining soap dish between uses to ensure it lasts as long as possible and maintains its integrity.
Focus on Skin Types:
This Ancient Laurel Berry Soap is especially beneficial for skin that is:
✓ Highly Sensitive, Reactive, or Intolerant of many products, seeking a truly pure and gentle cleanser.
✓ Prone to Eczema, Psoriasis, Dermatitis, or Acne, as it offers deep soothing and helps to calm associated irritation and discomfort.
✓ Persistently Dry, Itchy, or Irritated, providing profound relief and helping to restore comfort.
✓ In need of deep, gentle soothing and calming, supporting the skin's natural balance and resilience.
✓ Suitable for all skin types, including babies and children, due to its purity and mildness (always patch test new products, especially on the most delicate skin).
✓ For anyone seeking a truly natural, traditional, and effective unscented cleanser that respects and nurtures the skin.
Preservation & Natural Character
Gentle Ancient Laurel Berry Oil Soap: Preservation & Natural Character
At Ossie Naturals, our commitment to natural purity extends to how our products are preserved and how their inherent natural character contributes to their unique quality. This is especially true for our handcrafted soaps.
Caring for Your Natural Soap's Integrity:
To ensure your handcrafted soap lasts as long as possible and maintains its integrity:
✓ Storage Before Use: Store your soap in its original breathable cardboard box in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity until you're ready to use it. This allows the soap to continue its gentle curing process, enhancing its quality and longevity.
✓ During Use: Once in use, place your soap on a well-draining soap dish. This prevents it from sitting in water, which can soften the bar and shorten its lifespan. Allowing it to dry thoroughly between uses is key.
The Beauty of Natural Character: A Synergy of Ancestral Wisdom & Skin Science
At Ossie Naturals, our products are a testament to the power of 100% natural origin ingredients, intelligently combined to work in deep harmony with your skin. We combine nature's finest ingredients with scientifically understood botanical lipids, plus our signature herbal infusions and pure essential oils. This is skincare that respects your skin's innate intelligence.
At our artisanal cosmetic and soap-making workshop, we take immense pride in crafting products that are as nourishing as they are cleansing, using only the finest natural ingredients. This dedication means that variations in our products' colour, aroma, and texture are not just possible, but are a celebrated aspect of our craft. These variations are a testament to the authenticity of our methods and the unique properties of the botanical ingredients we employ.
Each batch is a reflection of the natural world, influenced by the season of harvest and the specific conditions under which our ingredients are grown and processed. For example, essential oils derived from plants and flowers may exhibit variations in their aromatic intensity, depending on the time of year they were harvested and the extraction process used. Such changes are inherent to true artisanal production and highlight the individuality of each product we create.
These natural variations are not imperfections but rather the hallmarks of genuine craftsmanship. They add to the unique beauty and individuality of each batch, ensuring that while the core qualities and benefits of our products remain consistent, each offers a distinct and personal experience. This not only enhances your connection with nature but also makes each use a uniquely charming and effective encounter with our products.
We believe that these subtle differences enrich your experience, providing a personal touch that mass-produced products simply cannot replicate. Each product becomes a unique piece of art, carrying the essence of the natural world into your daily routine.
Choosing Ossie Naturals means choosing a product where every detail, right down to its wrap, is considered with your well-being and the integrity of nature in mind.
Wrapped for Purity & Breathability
Our Thoughtful Packaging: Purely Wrapped for Purity & Breathability
At Ossie Naturals, our commitment to purity extends to how we present our handcrafted soaps. You'll find your Gentle Calendula Soap nestled in a simple, breathable cardboard box, and here’s why this choice is so important to us:
✓ Allowing Your Soap to Breathe: Our traditional cold process soaps, like fine wine, benefit from air circulation. A breathable cardboard box allows the soap to continue its natural curing process, ensuring a harder, longer-lasting, and milder bar over time.
✓ Minimising Plastic Contact: We choose to avoid plastic shrink-wrapping for our soaps. While some packaging aims to seal in scent or protect from humidity, we prioritise the purity of the bar itself. Our concern is to limit your soap's contact with plastics, thereby reducing any potential for the transfer of unwanted residues or microparticles that can sometimes be associated with heated or direct plastic contact.
✓ A Kinder Process, A Purer Product: By avoiding heat-shrinking plastic wraps, we also sidestep processes that can create fumes or require direct heat application to the product. We believe this contributes to a cleaner making environment and ultimately, a purer bar of soap for your skin.
✓ Simplicity & Eco-Conscious Values: A cardboard box is a straightforward, recyclable, and often biodegradable choice that aligns with our respect for the environment. It’s honest packaging for an honest product.
✓ Focus on What Matters: We believe the true value lies in the meticulously crafted soap within. Our simple packaging reflects this, ensuring that what you're investing in is the quality and gentle effectiveness of the Calendula Soap itself.
Choosing Ossie Naturals means choosing a product where every detail, right down to its wrap, is considered with your well-being and the integrity of nature in mind.
