Laurel Berry Oil

Botanical Name: Laurus nobilis
Extraction Method: Traditional Water Separation
Plant Part Used: Berries & Seeds
Origin: Mediterranean (Greece & Turkey)

Product Description

Laurel Berry Oil is a powerful herbal oil extracted by cold pressing the berries of the Laurus nobilis tree. Rich in naturally occurring antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory compounds, this unique oil has been used for centuries in traditional skincare—most famously as a key ingredient in Aleppo soap.

With its deep cleansing and soothing effects, Laurel Berry Oil is ideal for treating eczema, psoriasis, acne, rosacea, and various fungal or scalp conditions. It gently purifies the skin without stripping natural oils, helping restore balance to sensitive or problem-prone complexions.

Highly valued in formulations like Aleppo soap, Laurel Berry Oil is especially effective in soothing eczema, psoriasis, acne, and fungal infections. Its earthy aroma and potent botanical composition make it ideal for skin balms, healing ointments, and scalp treatments.

Unlike Laurel Leaf Essential Oil, which is steam-distilled from the plant’s leaves, our Laurel Berry Oil is extracted using a traditional, time-honored process. Carefully harvested berries are boiled until the pulp and seeds separate, allowing the nutrient-dense oil to naturally rise to the surface. This slow, artisan method preserves the integrity, aroma, and beneficial compounds of the oil—making it a treasured ingredient in both traditional and modern skincare.
