Aesop skin and body care

Aesop is a globally recognized luxury skincare brand founded in Melbourne, Australia, in 1987. The brand has built a significant reputation for its distinctive minimalist packaging, botanical-based formulations, and unique retail experiences. Originally established by hair stylist Dennis Paphitis, it grew from a local Australian boutique to an international icon in the high-end cosmetic space.

In early 2023, a major shifts in ownership took place. After being owned for several years by the Brazilian group Natura & Co, Aesop was acquired by the French beauty conglomerate L'Oréal in a deal valued at over $2.5 billion. This transition has consolidated Aesop within one of the world's largest luxury beauty portfolios, ensuring its continued expansion across global markets while maintaining its roots in Australian product design and formulation philosophy.

While the brand maintains its headquarters in Melbourne and produces a significant portion of its inventory in Australia, its global supply chain includes various manufacturing partners to meet international demand under the stewardship of its French parent company.
