Formulation Deep Dive
The Aesop Resurrection Aromatique Hand Balm is a high-performance oil-in-water emulsion designed for intensive skin restoration and emollient-rich hydration. The base utilizes a sophisticated carrier system of Water (Aqua) and Glycerin, structured with Stearic Acid and Cetearyl Alcohol to provide a substantial, non-greasy skin feel. The formulation leverages a complex lipid profile featuring Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil and Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil for deep fatty acid replenishment, while Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter) and Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter act as occlusive barriers to prevent trans-epidermal water loss. Active performance is driven by a synergistic blend of Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice for soothing, Tocopherol (Vitamin E) for antioxidant protection, and Citrus Nobilis (Mandarin Orange) Peel Oil to support skin tonicity. The system is stabilized through a non-ionic emulsification framework using Ceteareth-20 and Glyceryl Stearate, preserved with a reliable combination of Phenoxyethanol and Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Seed Extract.
