Aesop Eleos Nourishing Body Cleanser 500 mL — Moisturizing Body Wash with Shea Butter & Lavender for Dry Skin

Aesop Eleos Nourishing Body Cleanser is a creamy, moisturizing body wash formulated with shea butter and lavender oil to gently cleanse and nourish dry, dehydrated skin.

Designed for those who prefer a richer, slower-lathering wash, Eleos blends plant-derived emollients and aromatic botanicals to remove impurities without stripping natural oils. The formula produces a delicate foam that spreads easily across the body, leaving skin feeling soft, soothed and subtly scented with herbaceous, woody, and spicy notes. Bottled in Aesop’s environmentally minded packaging, this 500 mL wash is vegan, paraben-free and cruelty-free.

How does Eleos cleanse without drying skin?

Eleos relies on gentle surfactants and a cream base that lifts dirt while preserving the skin’s lipid barrier. Enriched with shea butter and other replenishing ingredients, it restores moisture during washing so skin feels supple rather than tight.

• Shea butter provides emollient support to smooth and condition skin.
• Mild surfactants create a soft lather that rinses clean gently.
• Balanced formulation minimizes irritation for sensitive or dehydrated skin.

What fragrance profile can I expect in the shower?

The scent opens with herbaceous and woody facets, rounded by spicy undertones—an intentionally restrained aroma that complements, not overwhelms. Key notes like cedar atlas, patchouli and clove bud give the wash an earthy, grounded character while lavender oil adds a soft floral nuance.

• Cedar atlas and patchouli deliver warm, woody depth.
• Clove bud introduces a subtle spice that lingers briefly.
• Lavender oil imparts a calming, fresh floral accent.

How should I use Eleos for best results?

Apply a small amount to a wet hand, cloth or sponge and work into a gentle lather across the body, then rinse thoroughly. For very dry skin, follow with a moisturizer while skin is still slightly damp to lock in hydration.

• Use daily in the shower or bath; a little goes a long way.
• Pair with a hydrating body balm for added moisture after cleansing.
• Suitable for both morning and evening use to refresh and comfort skin.
