Pain d’Alep Soap

Tadé relies on natural ingredients and the traditional cauldron method without synthetic additives; parts of the range are Cosmos-certified — including the first Cosmos-certified Aleppo soap — and the house keeps direct, solidarity-based partnerships with artisans around the Mediterranean.

In 1995 Tadé was the first to bring real Aleppo soap to France — that ancient bar of olive and laurel oil, cauldron-cooked and air-dried for nine months, still made in Aleppo itself. Around this soap the Provençal house has built a whole world of Mediterranean bath and hammam culture: natural sponges and exfoliating gloves, shaving soap and brushes, body and beard oils, alum stone, savon de Marseille. “Pays du Levant” — the land where the sun rises. Simple, natural ingredients, old craft.
