Nader Barakat Soap: The Line We Import
Nader Barakat soap is the 23-line Aleppo-tradition range Levant Direct imports from Nader Barakat & Sons, a family house that has hand-cut and hand-stamped olive-and-laurel soap since 1979 and now produces from Gaziantep, Türkiye. Nader Barakat B5 A106, Nader Barakat M002, zumarud nader barakat M006 and Nader Barakat Extra Drums 2 D055 span the range from a 100 g compact bar to a 210 g bulk-drum lot.
This page is a factual line description, not brand history we can't verify — what the name covers on our catalogue, the formats it ships in, and where each fits a retail or hospitality program.
What the Nader Barakat name covers
Nader Barakat & Sons is the soap house behind this entire catalogue category — 23 lines total, of which four carry the family name directly in the product title rather than a separate line name like Zanabili or Green Tree. Every bar in the house's range, named or not, follows the same craft: olive oil (metraf) and laurel oil (ghar) brewed together, cut by hand, hand-stamped and air-dried for six to nine months, the process UNESCO recognized in December 2024 as roughly 3,000 years old.
The four lines carrying the family name
| Line | Format | Fit |
|---|---|---|
| Nader Barakat B5 A106 | 220 g bar (48 pieces, net 10.56 kg) | Everyday retail bar, core shelf item |
| Nader Barakat M002 | 140 g bar | Mid-size bar, gift and general retail |
| zumarud nader barakat M006 | 100 g bar | Compact bar for gift sets and amenity programs |
| Nader Barakat Extra Drums 2 D055 | 210 g bar | Extra-tier bar from a numbered production lot |
Why buy by name rather than by category
Some buyers deliberately build a shelf around one named house rather than mixing lines from different soap makers, either because a customer base already recognizes the Nader Barakat name specifically or because a single-supplier story is easier to tell in signage and marketing than a mixed-brand shelf. Our wider Aleppo soap range includes both Nader Barakat-named lines and other house lines like Green Tree, Zanabili and janat alghar — all from the same producer, just under different line names within the family's own catalogue.
Where the range is made, stated directly
Production runs from Gaziantep, Türkiye today, where the family relocated the craft after conflict displaced soap houses from Aleppo over the past decade — the same recipe and process, continuing under a new address. See is your Aleppo soap supplier based in Türkiye, not Aleppo? for the fuller explanation, and importing food from Turkey to Canada for how goods from Gaziantep producers like this one actually clear into the Canadian market.
How the named lines relate to the rest of the house's range
Beyond the four Nader Barakat-named bars, the same house makes Green Tree, Zanabili, janat alghar, Oud and Amber and several other lines under their own individual names rather than the family name directly. There's no formula difference implied by whether a bar carries the family name in its title — all of it is made by the same craftsmen, to the same olive-and-laurel process, at the same Gaziantep facility. The naming is closer to how a winery might release both an estate-named flagship and several distinctly labelled bottlings from the same vineyard: different labels, same house standing behind every one.
Ordering the named range
All four lines above are quoted by the carton — build them into one inquiry alongside any other Barakat lines you want, and a written quotation follows, typically within a business day. Buyers building a shelf specifically around the family name often start with the B5 A106 as the everyday anchor bar, adding M002 and zumarud M006 for size variety, and reserving Extra Drums 2 D055 for a slightly premium or numbered-lot positioning.
