Laurel Berry Oil — Turkish Laurus Nobilis Fruit Oil

What Is Laurel Oil (Laurel Berry Oil)?

Laurel oil — also called laurel berry oil (INCI: Laurus Nobilis Fruit Oil) — is a green, aromatic oil traditionally water-extracted from the berries of the bay laurel tree (Laurus nobilis). It is the signature ingredient that gives authentic Aleppo soap its cleansing, conditioning character, and is prized by soap makers and cosmetic formulators for its rich fatty-acid profile. It is a thick oil that naturally solidifies below 70°F (21°C) — a hallmark of a genuine fixed berry oil — and carries a terpene-rich unsaponifiable fraction valued in traditional formulations.

Our laurel oil is single-origin from Hatay, Turkey, traditionally extracted, and stocked in Norcross, Georgia — so US soap makers and formulators receive it in 2–5 days with no customs. Available in retail sizes and bulk & wholesale for soap makers, with COA, SDS and SAP value available on request.

How to Verify Authentic Turkish Laurel Berry Oil

You can’t smell or feel an oil through a screen — so authenticity has to be verified on paper, before it ships. Many oils sold online as “Turkish” are blended or re-labeled from mixed origins. Here is exactly what to check, and what our documents show:

• 1.Lauric acid on the GC report. Genuine laurel berry (fruit) oil carries a distinctive lauric-acid signature. Our lot KA183 tests at 14.21% lauric acid (reference min 12.5%). A GC report missing this signature is not true Laurus nobilis fruit oil.
• 2.A named, independent lab. Our analysis is run by the Turkish Ministry of Economy — Mersin Laboratory Office, not an unnamed “in-house” sheet.
• 3.A batch number and dates that trace to your bottle. Each lot carries a batch number (e.g. KA183) with production and best-by dates, so the COA you receive matches the exact oil shipped.
• 4.A single, named origin. Ours is single-origin from Hatay, Turkey, then stocked in Georgia — not a warehouse blend of mixed-origin oils. A Certificate of Origin is available on request.
• 5.The correct identifiers. INCI Laurus Nobilis Fruit Oil, CAS 8007-48-5, EINECS 283-272-5 — and clearly not laurel leaf essential oil, which is a different product.
