Syrian Soap Company Uses Centuries-Old Methods | Insider 

*The guy on the soap cutter is more balanced than my life*

Instead of coming home smelling like sweat your gonna smell like soap

My parents are from aleppo and I went there when i was 5 years old... they loved this soap and i clearly remember the smell of it... is strange but I loved it.... smells like.... cleanliness!

"So what do you do for a living?" Soap stamper: "I hammer soap"

My whole family is a syrian and we all use this soap since our birth its called “Alghar” soap its really simple and cheap all of syria uses it.

That's a whole bunch of soap. I feel cleaner just watching this video..

I've been using this soap for years and I'm a big fan, especially the scent. It has a savory, earthy scent, and the higher the percentage of bay leaf oil in the soap, the better it smells. How wonderful it will smell in the factory’s warehouse with all those mountains of soap! Greetings from the Netherlands

I use Aleppo soap regularly. Its cleansing and incredibly moisturizing, so much so my formerly dry skin doesnt need a lotion after shower anymore. Highly recommend it.

2:26 : It syncs perfectly with the music

This soap can be used as a Brick to hit someone. I did and it's very effective. 10/10 Would buy again.

*America:* Soap has oil? That soap needs freedom!

This soap is no joke, the best your gonna use. Especially if you have sensetive skin.

"My soap is better than ur soap. Why? Some dude rode a skateboard over my soap."

This is so cool! The man being pulled really loves his job maybe 😂.

The sliding ride looks very fun

Its great for eczema skin.Used it on my toddler whenever his eczema flared up in Malaysia.

Insider: it’s made from natural olive oil... USA: Did you say...oil?

I like to see people making things the old and traditional way here and there, good video

So proud of my country and it's traditions one of the best soaps someone can ever try 🇸🇾🇸🇾🇸🇾🇸🇾 👏

May your company grow in leaps and bounds in years to come. Hatsoff to the hardwork and love from India❤️❤️

Me: I need to go to bed early Me at 1 in the morning: traditional Syrian soap making techniques

Whenever I am at work, and I hate my job, I am going to think about that guy hammering the company's logo into the stamp

I have been using this soap for years and love it!! As a teenager, it was perfect for achieving the *BEST SPIKES* in my mohawk. No hairspray needed. Mortar and pestle the soap, make a paste, spike it up and let it dry. Soft enough to sleep on and smell great!

WWII: *Ends* Syrian Company: *T i m e f o r s o a p*

I hope their company is still alive. Just really sad that innocent people like them from Syria gets affected by greed by having a war. UPDATE: 4/8/20 prolly the first time that I got 4k likes.. big thanks BUT... What happened here? It's just sad to see us all like this getting divided by religion, race, and beliefs. I guess, we can never be united. I posted this 4 mos ago with the hopes that everyone will just empathize and probably unite and talk about what could possibly go right.. but here I am reading abt arguments.. don't y'all get tired?

The guy who is being dragged across the soap; that’s what I want to be when I grow up

This soap, used on the face daily, greatly improved my friend's seborheic dermatitis. That's an amazing natural soap

“They use chemical weapons in Syria” The chemical weapons:

This soap is all over the Mediterranean but in different versions, colors, preparation techniques

These soaps are so good for sensitive skin especially the most sensitive parts. And they leave you clean and fresh and moisturised ready to start the day. I use them everyday. I don't ever get a skin irritation because the ingredients are not harsh and they don't strip your skin of all your natural body oils like some soaps can .

I live in europe but my parents were born in Aleppo and every time when they made vacation and brought some soaps from there, its smells like heaven in the bathroom 😍

It's refreshing not seeing machines all over the place doing everything in a factory.

I’m so proud of this heritage that we have ❤️ My ancestors used to make soap in Aleppo

This should be recognized as one of Syria's best treasures.

This is probably one of the finest soaps on the planet.

I live in Canada. I have two cakes/bars of Syrian Aleppo soap. I love it. It lasts a long time. It is great on the face. I prefer it over any other soaps.

It's good to see that the people Syria in general and Aleppo in particular are recovering from the war.

Jesus imagine having to hammer in the logo for EVERY single piece.

Normal people when they come back home as a worker in some factory: damn i smell These people: damn i smell *good*

Hulk: Hey Thor, are you from Asgard? Thor: No. I'm from Aleppo

Just imagine the smell inside the factory 👃

The background music sounds like a 8 year old randomly playing notes on a Kalimba

You really gotta ask yourself: how did ancient humans think to make this stuff?

I'm half syrian and its still magnificent seeing this

I’m sitting in the tub watching RU-vid and have this soap next to me!!!!

I'm so proud to see my city company's

This was really cool of Insider man for real! Really nice to see some body bring some light from the working class of Syria. Deserve a subscription and a like, well done.

I am from Sweden but discovered this soap a few years ago by pure coincidence. Haven’t stopped using it since then, it feels really nice on the hair and skin. Before I used multiple products, now I just use two different Aleppos soaps for everything and don’t even need to condition. Saves a lot of money too. Since then I got interested in Syrian things and went to their shops, they have some lovely aubergine stuffed with nuts (think it’s called makdoush don’t know spelling) and mhashi and wine leaves, they are my new discovered favourites. Absolutely love it!

The original Aleppo soap is really good. Shout out to the Syrian Community ! I am not Syrian, but I wish the best to all of you !

2:28 ok he was on beat this is satisfying

This is coolest & most beautiful thing I've seen about Syria since the bad long time civil war. I hope thewar is over ASAP & Syria start making progress through international market. I hope this soap could enter international market too. Godspeed.

Just ordered some.😁 Peace to you in Syria.

Mom add syrian soap to the shopping list

Imagine going to work and smelling better coming home than leaving it. Edit: Why is everyone arguing? I was implying that we all come back sweaty and stinky after a days work, now if you work as a soap maker, you would smell better coming home than when you left it.

2:30 - and now we have discovered what footballer Giorgio Chiellini does in his spare time

You’re telling me there is no other way to replace the dude balancing on the rake?

Syria my heart..my love...I miss you, oh giving land. Syria is like a warm hug after a busy day.. oh how I miss you

Let me tell you one thing: I didn’t look this up, Neither did you. RU-vid algorithm strikes again.

Trust me when I say that if this gets in ur eye, brace yourself. Burns much much more than shampoo does. Does smell nice tho

Person: so what's your job? Employee: I stand on a rake to cut soap!

my phone screen was too small for the full title so all i read was *“this syrian soap company uses century old meth”*

watching the people crouching down like that for hours makes my own back hurt.....i literally can feel their back pain

I have been enjoying Allepo soap. Now that I know how they are made, I am more appreciative when I use them. Great work.

Syrian are so strong and so faithful. EVEN after all the war and killing of their love ones.They still work so hard...THANK YOU SIRIA.

You have no idea how beneficial this soap would be for skin and body. All natural no corporate companies shit in it. I wish I could get them here in Pakistan.

This syrian soap is kinda known in the arab world, they're good for sensitive skin.

I actually come from Syria, and I can confirm we do use this kind of soap.

How can this video gets so many thumps down?🙄The ones who dislike this video doesn't know the benefits of this soap, and what this company contributes to the society and to oneself! Firstly, the company is carrying on this soap making technique to younger generations. I find this very good! Secondly, I am very sensitive about what to use on my body and hair scalp so I can't use normal shampoo. Therefore; I find Aleppo soap very good for my skin and hair. Besides, when using this soap I consume less plastic bottles, which means I don't contribute for more plastic usage. Everyone knows that plastic is not good for neither you or the environment. Thirdly, people who have environmental awareness ( like me) are happy to have this opportunity to buy this soap. It makes their living less plastic and knowing you're not contributing to damage Mother earth is an awesome feeling! I can sleep well at night knowing that I'm trying to live sustainable for the sake of my children, grandchildren and for the future generations ahead. At least I know I'm trying, and those who are complaining about the greenhouse effects on the environment: please ask yourself first if you are trying to live sustainable instead of always complaining. Finally, to those who haven't tried Aleppo soap, please do! I promise you won't be disappointed. Good for you and for the environment 💕💃 Thanks for sharing this video and thanks for reading my post ( vomit bucket😝)

2:20 the hammering is in sync with the music

Masha’Allah. May Allah give the people of Syria justice and ease 🤲🏼❤️

Ive just begun trying out soap making. This (essentially) was my 1st recipe. I made a lard soap - bare bones recipe to use in a saddle soap recipe that came out really nicely. The olive oil soap was the most interesting to me for a few reasons - its ancient & its such a pure thing. There are many very contrived recipes with 6 different added scents & all of these elaborate color schemes but for cryin out loud its soap. Of the 6 types of soap Ive now made the olive oil 1 (once fully cured) is my favorite. I was surprised by the lather after 4 weeks of drying. It was quite a lot better than when it was fresh. I used a 2 or 3% addition of orange oil (% based on wt of oils in recipe) but having seen the addition of laurel oil (bay laurel) I would like to try that since I was taught how to use bay laurel here locally in N Cal for its use in boat building - at higher elevations it has the ability to fight infestation by bugs & its naturally curving main trunk is perfect for keels on boats. Its called pepperwood here & we made tool handles with it in a boat building class. It grows all over here. ANYWAY I think it would be a very nice compliment as a scent oil added to this purist recipe.

All the best to Syria and its people! Wish that all your troubles and all the pain goes away!

I bought it throughout 2014, but then the delivery stopped because of the war. Now it's in the shops again! Much love from Poland!

Everyone is thinking about the guy being pull, while the guy on hot wax got ignored 1:40

It looks satisfying, delicious, and beautiful!

Wow.. amazing... what a treat to work here at something original 👏👏

I remember my grandma washing me with these. I'll be playing outside the whole day till I turn brown and my grandma wash me with one of these untill I turn white. Literally

2250 when the US runs out of soap: “We see you’re lacking *FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY”*

Finally something cool from this channel I can buy for under $10!

Nice high pitched ringing in the audio. Feels great in the ears. God bless!

am soo broud cuz am syrian and all the professional crafts and ancient civilization came from every spot and place in Syria 🇸🇾❤️ btw this soup called " sapon al ghar صابون غار " they made it from laurel and olive oil and those ingredients are good for skin and hair ❤️❤️

"Soap, the yardstick of civilization" - Fight Club

I bet that place smells amazing! I make soap too and my favorite is making gentleman's soap with lavender 💜

It is really great to make soaps like this hardworking method . Love from India

This is really good exposure for the company and this looks much more eco friendly than an automated plant

Such a beautiful piece of "hygiene history" the soap creation / all natural process is amazing. Im happy for those people. Im gonna try an get some.

This is the most effective soap ad I've ever seen

Y'all I got a Insider ad in an insider video. How nice.

I am Syrian and proud. x

2:27 hahaha looks like he is playing the background song by hitting the soap

That soap is from my city Aleppo😍

I prefer buying this soap because the workers were doing their job properly, clean and using plastic socks. Keep up the good work guys.

So nobody is going to talk about how satisfying the entire process was to watch

beside Aleppo soap, Nabulsi soap from Palestine also is very good. Both product is organic and as good as Dr Bonner's Pure Castillle Soap..

Brilliant. Thank You Syria.

Soap making is so satisfying

And yanny oil

Omg omg my country syria was featured in an insider video!!! I’m sooo happy especially I’m from Aleppo!! I love this soap Edit: thanks for all the support ❤️✨ Edit: GUYS ARE YOU KIDDING ME 85 LIKES THX 💓💓 Edit: OMG 100 idk what to say I’m speechless thank you 😊

I bought one of those from a fellow who specializes in Syrian products. The smell of them is the smell of happiness.

2:21 perfectly fits the music and that guy has a different vibe
