Aesop Geranium Leaf Body Balm 500 mL — Concentrated Hydration, Non-greasy

Aesop Geranium Leaf Body Balm is a rich, green-citrus body moisturizer formulated with geranium leaf, mandarin rind and bergamot rind to restore suppleness and comforting hydration from neck to toe.

This concentrated body balm blends nourishing nut oils with skin-softening agents and botanical extracts to leave skin feeling hydrated, smooth and lightly scented. Housed in Aesop’s recyclable packaging, the formula aims for long-lasting comfort without a greasy finish. It’s designed for daily use—especially after showers or baths—targeting rough patches such as elbows, knees and heels.

How does this balm hydrate without feeling heavy?

The texture is a balm that melts on contact with skin, providing rich occlusion while allowing absorption of conditioning oils. Lightweight emollients balance the thicker botanical oils so it glides easily and doesn’t sit as a tacky film.

• Melting balm consistency that spreads smoothly
• Blend of nut oils and skin-softening agents for balanced absorption
• Non-greasy finish designed for daily use

What does it smell like and how strong is the fragrance?

The scent is a green, citrus-forward profile anchored by geranium leaf, mandarin rind and bergamot rind. It’s fresh and enlivening—noticeable but not overpowering—suitable for those who prefer aromatic yet subtle body care.

• Top notes: bright mandarin and bergamot rind
• Herbaceous heart: green geranium leaf
• Clean, citrus-fresh finish that dissipates naturally

When and where should I apply the balm for best results?

Apply morning and evening to freshly cleansed skin, rubbing it in from neck to toes with extra attention to dry zones. Using it after bathing locks in moisture; spot-apply whenever skin feels rough or tight for targeted conditioning.

• Daily use after showering or bath time
• Concentrate on elbows, knees and feet for intensive care
• Suitable for whole-body application and area-specific touch-ups

What are the key ingredients and ethical considerations?

The balm features geranium leaf complemented by mandarin and bergamot rind extracts, together with a nourishing mix of nut oils and emollients. Aesop formulates with vegan ingredients, avoids parabens and cruelty, and packages the product in bottles with a high proportion of recycled plastic.

• Botanical actives: geranium leaf, mandarin rind, bergamot rind
• Vegan, paraben-free and cruelty-free formulation
• Bottles made from a minimum of 97% recycled plastic

Who is this for: Ideal for anyone seeking a concentrated, aromatic body moisturizer that combines botanical extracts with rich emollients—particularly those with dry patches or seasonal dehydration who prefer a scented, non-greasy finish. It suits daily whole-body use and is a practical choice for eco-minded shoppers who value recyclable packaging and vegan formulations.
