When it comes to hand care, no brand does it better than Aesop. From the luxurious skin, hair and covetable soaps that no tastemaker bathroom should be without to the iconic tubes of Aromatique hand balm from the house brand: Aesop is a leader in taking daily care to the next level and giving it a touch of luxury to ordinary products. Now the Australian brand has expanded its beloved Aromatique Hand Balm collection with the new Eleos Aromatique Hand Balm, which is also a solution for chapped, ugly feet that need some extra serious TLC before summer.

Eleos Aromatique Hand Balm, which takes its name from the ancient Greek personification of mercy and compassion, contains a nourishing combination of hydrating humectants alongside soothing butters and oils to *almost* instantly restore parched and weathered hands to baby-soft status – and without any leaves behind an oily residue that promises to stain your silk blouse. The fast-absorbing formula even dries to a velvety matte finish, which is probably my favorite part of Aesop’s hand balms. Of course, as with Aesop’s entire Aromatique range, the scent is just as appealing as the skin-soothing formula. Eleos’ key notes are Cedar Atlas, Patchouli and Clove Bud, giving it a slightly smoky, woody profile that will dethrone your favorite perfume in no time. These uniquely blended aromas are not the overwhelming wall of jumbled scents found in cheaper formulas, but truly harmonious and complex aromas that you can smell twice.
