If you've been hearing a lot of buzz about the beauty brand Aesop, it might be because it's slowly growing a big following. The minimalist beauty brand covers all the bases, including products for skin, hair, and body. It was founded in 1987 and prides itself in producing fresh plant-based and laboratory-made ingredients.
Last year, the Australia-based brand popped up at Nordstrom, making it easier than ever for us to get our hands on it, which is how we came to discover the wasabi toothpaste [1]. If you've been curious to learn more about Aesop, check out some of the products our editors are loving right now.
Aesop Resurrection Aromatique Hand Wash
The product: Aesop Resurrection Aromatique Hand Wash [2] ($39)
Why we love it: "I keep this hand wash in the kitchen next to the antibacterial soap as a treat for my hands after doing dishes and for guests to use. I love the fresh citrus-y scent and that it keeps my hands hydrated." — Angelica Marden, vice president, Editorial Operations
Aesop Wasabi Toothpaste
The product: Aesop Wasabi Toothpaste [3] ($17)
Why we love it: "I'm sure writing this will ruin any of my potential makeout sessions for years to come, but when I wake up in the morning, I reek of morning breath. Luckily, this wasabi-flavored toothpaste completely reverses my musky mouth. If you're the type of person who avoids the chunky green lump that comes with your sushi, don't worry — the formula isn't painful at all. I have a big old baby palate, and I can attest to how good it tastes (think more chai latte spice than wasabi fire)." — Alaina Demopoulos, editorial assistant, Beauty
Aesop Avail Body Lotion With Sunscreen
The product: Aesop Avail Body Lotion With Sunscreen [4] ($41)
Why we love it: "In addition to my face, I like to apply sunscreen to my hands, neck, and chest as often as I can remember, because those are places I'm exposing to the sun every day. But I don't want to use my facial moisturizer because it's expensive. The nonsticky formula quickly absorbs into my skin, and I love how it feels." — Krista Jones, assistant editor, Shopping
Aesop Redemption Body Scrub
The product: Aesop Redemption Body Scrub [5] ($46)
Why we love it: "When my skin gets dull and dry from the cold weather, I use this scrub in the shower to revive it. It makes my skin look bright and feel fresh. Plus, the sage and clove scents are so soothing." — Macy Williams, assistant editor, Shopping
Aesop Herbal Deodorant Spray
The product: Aesop Herbal Deodorant Spray [6] ($35)
Why we love it: "I've never really liked the smell or feel of women's stick deodorants, so when I got the chance to try this spray, I was really excited. I love that I can recognize most of the ingredients on the label and that it includes some of my favorite essential oils like lavender, eucalyptus, and citrus." — Madison Meltzer, social media strategist
Aesop Rejuvenate Intensive Body Balm
The product: Aesop Rejuvenate Intensive Body Balm [7] ($35)
Why we love it: "My boyfriend and I actually fight over our tube of this balm. He is Aesop-obsessed — he uses the cleanser and exfoliant as well — but turned me on to the body balm for its beautiful packaging and amazing citrus-y scent. It's technically his tube, but I secretly use it every morning while he's still sleeping." — Stephanie Nguyen, associate editor, Native
Aesop Immediate Moisture Facial Hydrosol
The product: Aesop Immediate Moisture Facial Hydrosol [8] ($25)
Why we love it: "I spray this facial mist on my skin after a hot day, after a long flight, and when I need a little lift. It's refreshing and hydrating without the bulk of lotion, and the scent and cooling effect take me to another place." — Angelica Marden, vice president, Editorial Operations
