Kasab soap, originating from the mountainous town of Kasab in the Latakia countryside, is a traditional craft that has evolved into a brand reaching Arab and international markets. The workshop uses the traditional cold manufacturing method that preserves the therapeutic and natural value of raw materials, including laurel oil, which is the secret to the quality and distinction of Kasab soap, in addition to extra virgin olive oil and water mixed with tar. The production process takes about 25 days, including mixing the ingredients with an electric mixer as a limited modernization, followed by saponification and manual cutting after the dough hardens, ending with drying, the longest stage where the soap dries naturally, accelerated by summer heat. Despite its importance, this traditional craft faces challenges threatening its continuity, such as rising raw material prices, especially laurel oil scarcity, increasing production costs and final product price, limiting local competitiveness.

The Jaghlyan family emphasizes the need for support to sustain this craft by providing raw materials at reasonable prices and easing marketing obstacles, and they are committed to passing this heritage to future generations to keep it a living tradition expressing the cultural identity and authentic heritage of the region.
