The Brain Behind Beauty

WITHIN MINIMALISTIC BOTTLES and zen aesthetics, Aesop houses legacies of research. A brand well established in their philosophy in uncomplicated skin care designed to complement an elevated lifestyle, Aesop prides itself in using modern science to conceptualise and develop their formulas of ethical skin products. Standing in front of the team is the Head of Research & Development and Compliance, Samy Hamada.

Mainly overseeing the early stages of product developments in Aesop, Samy ensures that every formulation crafted by the house lives up to its DNA: sciencebased and innovative approach to modern skin care. From sourcing ethical and sustainable ingredients to developing novel technologies, Samy spearheads the team that builds the empire Aesop sits on today.

A conversation with Samy unveils deeper into the science of Aesop and their newest venture, the Immaculate Face Tonic, which launched just last month.

Tell us more about the Skin Care+ range. How did it begin?

Our Skin Care+ range is distinguished by complex formulations that incorporate a wide palette of scientifically validated ingredients. Each product delivers particularly generous measures of vitamins and efficacious ingredients to replenish, balance, and bolster the skin. These formulations are especially beneficial for those whose skin may be dull, patchy, and in need of skin-supporting vitamins, as well as those with mature skin seeking suppleness and resilience. They can be used daily for standalone hydration, blended, or layered with a preferred moisturiser, or twiceweekly as a nourishing boost.

The newest addition to the Skin Care+ range is the Immaculate Facial Tonic. How was it conceptualised?

Immaculate Facial Tonic is a gentle daily-use exfoliating tonic, enriched with vitamins and hydrating ingredients to replenish hydration. It is formulated to even the appearance and refine the texture of the skin.

August Men Of Tomorrow

August Men Of Tomorrow

In the age of independent thinking, our idea of leaders needs to evolve. Let us posit an alternative to traditional ideas of leaders: leadership is a choice, an act rather than a personality trait. We choose to do the difficult thing. We choose to bear responsibility when few would. You don't need the contrivances of power to be a leader. Instead, you can be a Community Developer at a gaming company, introducing small but vital initiatives to grow and engage with your community. You can be a DJ, moving the masses with music, making waves rather than demands. You can be a tattoo artist or the owner of a gallery, helping people discover their sense of self through art.Or you could fight for a better, kinder world for animals in Singapore.Here are the leaders of today. Here are the August Men of Tomorrow.
