Welcome to Adira Earth! We’re a small family in Melbourne, driven to share the healing benefits of natural skincare. My journey began after the COVID vaccination when my skin suddenly became hypersensitive, plagued by hives, eczema, and rashes. Frustrated with steroid creams that only thinned my skin, I felt desperate for relief. Then, a friend gifted me an all-natural Aleppo soap from France. Skeptical but hopeful, I tried it—and within days, my skin felt calmer, less itchy, and the redness faded. By the month’s end, my dependence on steroids had nearly vanished. Inspired, I researched Aleppo soap, learning how its simple, natural ingredients nourish all skin types, from babies to those with dermatitis or psoriasis.Now, two years later, we’re dedicated to bringing this amazing soap to others in Australia. At Adira Earth, we’re passionate about helping people find gentle, effective alternatives to soothe their skin. Thank you for joining us on this journey toward healthier, natural skincare!

What makes Adira Earth soaps unique?
Our soap bars are crafted using traditional methods dating back thousands of years, featuring sustainably sourced ingredients directly from renowned coastal areas. Each bar is handmade with a blend of olive oil, laurel oil, and water, providing gentle yet effective cleansing for all skin types.
Our soaps undergo an essential curing process, resting for about nine months in a cool, dry place away from the Mediterranean sun. This curing allows the soap to complete the saponification process while developing its signature fragrance and amber color. This crucial step ensures the quality and gentleness of our soaps, making them perfect for your skin.
