Soap makers bound together to revive traditional industry in Syria's Aleppo

ALEPPO, Syria - For people of Syria's Aleppo city, olive soap is not only a soap bar for washing their hands or adding natural shimmer to hair, but also one of their proud and treasured heritage.

In Syria, people would say "Aleppo" upon the mention of the best natural laurel and olive oil soap that could be bought in Syria or even around the world.

Like any other aspect of life, the olive soap has taken a beating in Aleppo when the war enshrouded the city with destruction and calamities.
