Body: Our Thoughts

BODY BALM USAGE

The origin of Aesop Aromatique Balms began in our search for the quintessential hand cream, effective, non-sticky and with a sublime aroma. We aimed to develop the world's most effective hydrating balm. This was achieved utilising a complex blend of vegetable and nut derivatives, to which we added a select blend of nourishing plant actives. The specific botanicals were chosen for their ability to combat hand and cuticle dryness. Aesop Resurrection Aromatique Hand Balm continues to remain a global favourite for those seeking immediate hand relief.

We have since adapted the principles of Aesop Resurrection Hand Balm to address the various hydration requirements of the entire body. Our perfected compositions today incorporate vegetable glycerine (to nourish), carrot oil (to protect), shea butter (to soften), aloe vera (to soothe), and wheat germ oil (to preserve). The three Aesop Body Balms share a common base and vary only in their specific botanical components, according to the prescribed product use. These balms are a perfect medium to hydrate the entire body on a daily basis whilst offering an intoxicating sensory experience.

We recommend the application of Aesop Aromatique Body Balms on clean, warm, slightly damp skin (after showering), to maximise the penetration of the product into the skin. One level teaspoon of product is sufficient to hydrate the entire body from cleavage to toes. Particular emphasis should be placed on the body's drier areas: elbows, knees, lower legs and ankles.
