An Aesop tube is unmistakable, one we can distinguish from a hundred yards away. Resurrection Aromatic Hand Balm is one of the best-selling products of this Australian brand. 

In Aesop the how matters as much as the what. The packaging is just as important as the content. The how has been extensively copied since 1987, when the company was founded in Melbourne. In this case, it is just a container, a font (Helvetica and Optima) and some emphatic message. 

The what is hand lotion, Aesop calls it balm. It has been formulated in an exquisite way, like all products by this brand —which take 2 to 10 years to create. Nothing about them is left to chance. This balm is made with mandarin, rosemary and cedar oils.

Why is it a good hand balm? The skin in our hands is thick and lacks sebaceous glands, so its hydration needs differ from the rest of our body. The ingredients in this balm are there to protect our hands from exposure to water, air and work; and it also softens the cuticles. 

Buying this hand balm is also getting something pretty. We all want something pretty, we all want Aesop. 

Pair with:

Aesop Resurrection Aromatic Hand Wash, for a complete hand care routine.

We like it for:

• It is exquisite and contemporary, like everything about Aesop. 
• It is not just pretty. It is good quality, and that is relevant. 
• Hands feel soft and zero sticky.
