Aesop is a premium skin, body and hair care brand, founded in Melbourne in 1987 by Dennis Paphitis. Headquartered in London, Aesop was acquired by L’Oréal Luxe in 2023.
Aesop workplaces are distinguished by a rare blend of courtesy, cordiality and intellectual energy. We seek skilled, curious individuals who can bring a wealth of perspectives and inspired ideas to our table.
Aesop—which has been part of L’Oréal Luxe since 2023—was established in Melbourne in 1987, and has since been formulating products with efficacy foremost in mind—their complex, distinctive aromas are but an incidental treat. The range now spans skin, hair and body care, as well as fragrance and accessories for the self and home.
In each of our unique stores and counters, informed consultants help customers select the products that are best suited to their actual needs—collaborating with office-based team members who help cultivate our retail focus. Alongside our commercial activities, we explore and support the arts as an avenue through which to inspire, learn, and communicate.
Across our retail spaces and offices, we believe an equitable and inclusive work environment, and a diverse, empowered team are key to achieving our mission.
As a Certified B Corporation™, we are part of a global community of businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental impact, transparency and accountability—balancing purpose and profit to a greater end.
