Eleos Nourishing Body Cleanser is Aesop’s response to this need. Developed over eight years of research, the cleanser lifts impurities gently without disrupting the skin’s moisture, while replenishing it with hydrating ingredients.
Eleos marks the brand’s first body cleanser in an emulsion format – chosen specifically to address dryness in a way that feels both effective and indulgent.
“Our experience in developing face cleansers tells us that drier skin types require non-disruptive, non-aggravating but nonetheless efficient cleansing containing mild surfactants alongside generous measures of emollients and hydrating ingredients,” said Mr Samy Hamada, Aesop’s director of research and development. “For many years, we have harboured a desire to offer such nurturing, emulsion-based cleansing to the whole body, and following much experimentation, we are able to realise that ambition with Eleos Nourishing Body Cleanser.”
THE SCIENCE OF REPLENISHMENT
Crafting a formulation that balances gentle yet thorough cleansing with deep hydration required careful scientific precision. Drawing from Aesop’s extensive knowledge, the development team began by establishing the fundamentals, then focused on incorporating oils and mild surfactants into a stable emulsion base. Months of meticulous refinement followed: Adjusting ratios, testing for stability and perfecting the cleanser’s comforting, creamy texture.
At the heart of the formulation are skin-loving emollients such as shea butter and jojoba seed oil – long celebrated for their moisturising properties, especially when paired. Shea butter, rich in essential fatty acids, nourishes and helps protect against moisture loss, while jojoba seed oil mimics the skin’s natural sebum, delivering long-lasting hydration without leaving a greasy residue. Tocopherol (Vitamin E) is added to support skin repair and soothe dryness, offering antioxidant protection for a more supple finish.
