About Laurel Berry Oil
Bay laurel is an evergreen tree native to the Mediterranean. Its leaves are the familiar bay leaves used in cooking, and in ancient Greece and Rome laurel wreaths crowned victors and poets. The tree's small, dark purple-black berries ripen in autumn. When pressed or boiled, they yield a thick, green, aromatic oil that contains both fatty oil and essential oil.
Laurel berry oil is produced mainly in Turkey (especially the Hatay region), Syria and other parts of the eastern Mediterranean.
Aleppo Soap
Aleppo soap is one of the oldest soaps in the world, traditionally made in the Syrian city of Aleppo. It is made from olive oil and laurel berry oil, cooked with lye, poured into large slabs, cut and aged for many months. The higher the percentage of laurel berry oil (often 5% to 40% or more), the more prized and costly the soap. Laurel oil gives the soap its distinctive aroma and is traditionally considered good for the skin and scalp.
Key Compounds
- Fatty AcidsLauric, oleic, linoleic and palmitic acids, which make up the fixed oil part.
- Essential Oil ComponentsSuch as 1,8-cineole, linalool, alpha-terpinyl acetate and eugenol, which give the aromatic character.
- ChlorophyllGives the oil its dark green colour.
Applications
- Aleppo-style and traditional olive-laurel soaps
- Shampoos and scalp-care products
- Hair oils and hair masks
- Skin care balms and creams
