Aesop’s Solais Replenishing Hand Serum
Hands do more than carry out everyday tasks. They create, communicate, comfort, and express emotions, often revealing a quiet language of their own.
Aesop’s latest release, Solais Replenishing Hand Serum, invites a closer look at how hand care can become both a practical routine and a sensory ritual.
Designed to care for the hands with the same attention often given to facial skin, the serum combines Niacinamide, Dandelion Root, and LHA to help brighten, even, and hydrate the appearance of the skin.
Developed by Aesop’s Melbourne-based Research & Development team, Solais brings facial skincare expertise into hand care. Its lightweight texture is designed for easy absorption, while its formulation helps support the skin against environmental triggers—particularly relevant for hands that are regularly exposed to the elements.
The serum also extends Aesop’s sensory approach. Lavender Stem, Bergamot Rind, and Neroli Blossom oils create a light floral, citrus, and herbaceous aroma designed to complement the brand’s three Aromatique Hand Balms: Eleos, Reverence, and Resurrection.
Together, Solais forms part of a four-step regimen that begins with hand cleansing, followed by the serum, a preferred hand balm, and sunscreen during the day.
The product’s artistic direction further emphasizes the expressive quality of hands.
Inspired by floreo, the precise hand movements found in flamenco, Aesop’s launch campaign features four dancers and two musicians communicating through rhythm and movement.
Co-choreographed by flamenco dancers Ana Morales and Irene Chavarría, the campaign presents the hands as both instruments and storytellers.
Through this lens, Solais becomes more than another layer of hand care—it is an invitation to pay attention to the hands that shape so much of everyday life.
