Beldi black soap

Taking care of yourself naturally is a growing trend. And yet there's nothing more normal than using healthy products for your skin, don't you think? In any case, in some countries, certain basics are firmly rooted in the culture of the country itself. One example is the famous beldi black soap, from Morocco of course!

Black soap has long been used in hammam treatments. It has since proved its worth, and Westerners are beginning to show an interest in it. So if you're not familiar with this product, you need to find out right away!

Black soap, the star of hammam treatments

Aleppo soap was born over 3,000 years ago in Syria. Why are we talking about this? Because it was some time later that black soap was made, a few countries away. Precisely in Morocco, in the magnificent region of Essaouira. It is also known as beldi soap in the Cherifian kingdom.

There are a number of similarities between these two natural soaps:

Aleppo soap is made from olive oil, vegetable soda and water. Bay laurel oil is added at the end of the manufacturing process.

For black soap, the base remains the same: olive oil and vegetable lye. However, black olives are generally added to give it its distinctive dark colour. The colour of Moroccan beldi soap can vary from light brown to very dark brown. This often depends on the oil used, which can also be linseed oil or avocado oil.

Our castor oil black soap comes in an easy-to-re-seal 250g jar. It's the perfect size to use with your fingers, or with a spoon for your preparations.
