Aesop was established in Melbourne in 1987. Their objective has always been to formulate skin, hair and body care products of the finest quality; they investigate widely to source plant-based and laboratory-made ingredients, and use only those with a proven record of safety and efficacy.

Aesop has maintained a fiercely independent approach to product research and development from the outset. Their team of skilled chemical scientists work out of their Head Office in a utilitarian, custom-built laboratory – conceptualising product ideas, researching blends, and creating prototypes. They source their ingredients from the most reputable suppliers across the globe, then marry cutting-edge technology with long-established scientific practices and principles to craft formulations of exceptional quality.
