Aesop is that rare brand that has managed to tread the fine line between minimalist and instantly recognisable. Its brown bottles bearing beige labels don’t shout for attention, yet stand out in their own unique way in stores across the world. But the formulae contained in these bottles are the main attraction — these are not just solutions for the skin, hair and body but also for your entire well-being.
The Australian brand was established in 1987 in Melbourne and implemented this ethos while formulating its skin, hair, and body care products. For instance, only the highest quality of ingredients are used, each sourced from the most reputable suppliers, then combined with Aesop’s finest technology in its custom-built laboratory.
The same approach to honest quality is also seen when it comes to design. The brand strongly believes that well-considered design improves lives — an idea that trickles down from its stores to its packaging. Any directions and list of ingredients on its bottles are straightforward with no flowery marketing jargon. The aim? To prevent diverting attention away from what’s good for you.
Till date, Aesop has seven stores across Malaysia with solutions for the skin, body, hair and mind. If you’ve never experienced the Aesop brand, here’s what you can start with for the full skin health and well-being experience. If you’re looking for Aesop gifts for the festive season, visit here.
