How do I distinguish genuine soap and side shops imitations with low quality ingredients ? 
Unfortunately like many traditional products, there are a lot of imitations being sold on the international market; they use cheap light oils and mix other chemicals and sometimes coloring to imitate the genuine soap. You only way of knowing that you are purchasing our genuine soap is when buying from our official partners. 

Do you stamp all your soap ?
We systematically stamp the olive cake oil soap as our flagship product that is only sold under our brand; Alnasser or Roots1880
Other Traditional Soaps are bulk produced for retail and wholesale, only stamped based on customer's request for significant quantities .
Other soap types are either packaged in branded packaging or stamped.

Shape of the traditional soap
The soap is cooked over 3 days, than spread to a typical thickness of 5 cm, than cut in two directions to a square size of 7x7cm; the shape of the bar cannot be a perfect due to the manual process.
Further curing process the water evaporates, and the sides becomes concave. The longer the curing the more concave and solid the bar is.

Is the traditional soap safe for babies and pregnant women
The soap does not contain any chemicals that may affect sensitive skin of babies or pregnant women.
Careful though with eyes contact, wash with plenty of water if it does.

Why Aleppo soap includes Coconut oil
Preferred to maintain the same lather and cleaning effect as the pure olive soap soap.
