Fit by skin type
General, ingredient-based — not your personalized match.
See how this fits your skin
Take the skin test and I'll show you how suitable this product is for you.
Take the skin testLight, rich and refined, the Parsley Seed Anti-Oxidant Facial Hydrator (60ml) delivers intensive skin nourishment, without smothering normal, combination and oily skin types. Weightless in texture and easily absorbed, this velvety moisturiser helps establish skin harmony while protecting your complexion against pollutants and environmental aggressors. Blending parsley seed with extracts of witch hazel, bergamot, cedar wood and lavender, the formula looks to prevent the effects of premature ageing while strengthening its natural defences. Plus, with its sumptous scent, it's not only a delight for your skin but your senses too.
Parsley Seed Anti-Oxidant Facial Hydrator is a cushioning moisturizer from Aesop. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 35 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as moderately cushioned — emollient enough to feel like a cream, without the heaviest occlusives near the top. The oils in it point to a dewy, emollient finish rather than a matte one. Hydration is handled by Glycerin, Ethylhexylglycerin and Water, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Glycerin, Ethylhexylglycerin, Water and Stearic Acid.
On richness alone it suits Balanced skin best, and is the least natural fit for Combination (oily) and Oily skin. Several ingredients carry irritation flags. If your skin is reactive, this is one to patch test carefully or approach slowly.
The formula contributes little or nothing on barrier support, antioxidant protection, oil control and cell renewal. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it.
Reading the full list, the formula is no drying alcohol, paraben-free, silicone-free, microplastic-free, sulfate-free and dye-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging. It does contain fragrance and essential oils, worth knowing if your skin reacts to any of them.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes after serums. Seal in your serums with it; in the morning, sunscreen still goes on top.
This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.
