About Aesop Shop The Collection

A commitment to protecting our environment

We are on a journey of reducing our footprint on a planet that generously sustains us while formulating products of the highest quality and efficacy. We have never tested our products or ingredients on animals, and we do not use animal-derived ingredients such as beeswax, honey or lanolin in our formulations.

Our Ethical Sourcing Programme aims to ensure that our suppliers use environmentally responsible processes, have safe working conditions, and treat workers with dignity.
