Welcome to cold-pressed laurel berry fruit oil! This oil is traditionally known for use in Aleppo-style soaps, but it also has numerous skincare benefits!
Laurel fruit (or laurel berry) cold-pressed oil is dark green to brown in color with a lovely herbal, fruity aroma. This oil is temperature sensitive, so when it is cold it will be thicker. If your space is cold simply warm it up in a gentle warm water bath and it will become liquid.
Laurel berry fruit oil is known for its antibacterial, anti-fungal, and skin-soothing benefits. Laurel berry is the key ingredient in making Aleppo soap. Traditional Aleppo recipes call for 12-35% laurel fruit/berry oil. This is the laurel berry fruit oil for that soap formula! The other ingredients in traditional Aleppo Soap are olive oil (we recommend organic extra virgin olive as it will make a beautiful bar), and lye. All of those which you can find with us! You can also use bay leaf essential oil to add scent.
Laurel berry fruit oil can be a somewhat confusing ingredient to find because it has the same name and INCI as the essential oil. The essential oil, however, will not make Aleppo soap. You can use Laurel Leaf essential oil to add scent to your soap bars, but it is not a substitute for laurel berry cold-pressed oil. We also carry laurel wax that you can use in the soap making process to create a harder bar, but it is not a substitute for cold-pressed laurel berry oil.
Cold-pressed laurel berry fruit oil can be used for more than just Aleppo soap making. This is a fantastic oil to be used in skincare formulas, especially ones targeting acne-prone skin, or for individuals experiencing eczema, psoriasis, or fungal infections.
Cold-pressed laurel berry oil is also an excellent addition to shampoos and conditioner bars targeting dandruff and dermatitis sufferers. The anti-fungal and antibacterial benefits make this laurel berry oil excellent for individuals with scalp issues. Traditionally Aleppo bars made with 40% or more laurel berry oil are used as shampoo bars. The higher the percentage of laurel berry the stronger the bar at combating bacteria.
