Revitalise your getting-ready routine with our Aesop beauty products. The Melbourne-based brand specialises in earth-friendly formulations that are highly effective and invigorate the senses.

Look out for the green Project Earth badge to see which are made using planet-conscious materials and processes.

Aesop's story began in 1987 when hairdresser Dennis Paphitis started experimenting, adding herbs like sage and rosemary to the dyes he was using. After a positive response from customers, he began developing products in collaboration with a chemist. Fast-forward three decades and the focus on plant-based and lab-grown ingredients remains. From purifying Aesop cleansers to hydrating masks and nourishing hand creams, each item is enriched with natural extracts such as mandarin rind and spearmint leaf, to leave skin feeling soft, replenished and refreshed. After clearing, brightening or smoothing solutions? Opt for topical treatments and serums that restore and fortify. 

If you're looking for gifts, discover Selfridges's coordinating boxes from Aesop. These treasure troves of washes, lotions and moisturisers allow recipients to sample a selection of the label's lingering botanical scents. Alternatively, opt for Aesop's unisex fragrances. The range includes woody accords and floral notes that eschew stereotypes in favour of distinctive aromas that reveal their complexity over time.
