Poetic Skincare!
November 19, 09
Check this out! Australian skincare brand - Aesop - recently released four new skincare gift packs dedicated to British poets: Keats, Shelley, Blake and Rossetti. “We created these [poetry-themed packs] as a mark of respect for an art form that values quiet contemplation, restraint and passion.” (www.aesop.net.au)
About Aesop
Aesop Melbourne, Australia
Since 1987, when the company launched in Melbourne, Aesop has not wavered from its intention to create a range of superlative products for skin, hair and body. While we remain committed to including the highest-quality plant-based ingredients, we also make judicious use of non-botanical elements such as anti-oxidants, once we are confident that research has proven them safe and effective. The exquisite scents for which Aesop is renowned are an incidental treat.
Aesop values all human endeavours undertaken with intellectual rigour, vision, and a nod to the whimsical. We are now a global company, and continue to make every product with the same attention to detail that we believe should be applied to life at large, taking into consideration the needs of your skin, the specifics of your environment, and the constraints on your time. We advocate the use of our products as part of a balanced life that includes a healthy diet, sensible exercise, and a regular intake of good books. (www.aesop.net.au)
