The Body Shop
“Know Your Mind, Love Your Body” is a philosophy to live by. It is also the official motto of The Body Shop, an England-based natural beauty company. Founded over 30 years ago by Dame Anita Roddick, the trailblazing company harmoniously fuses science with high-grade, globally-sourced ingredients of nature. With zero animal testing, community trade support, self-esteem awareness programs, human rights campaigns and planet protection at the forefront of its priorities, The Body Shop has captured the initiative of creating a better, more beautiful place to exist and poured the results into each of its luxurious and unique eco-loving products.
The Body Shop offers a multitude of innovative skin, bath, hair, make-up, spa, men’s and baby beauty goodies, though the ultra-rich body treatments are the overwhelming top sellers. Infused with exotic ingredients like Ghanaian cocoa butter, Amazonian buriti oil, Brazilian soya beans and Italian olive oil, it’s no wonder the brand’s luscious Body Butters slip off the shelves as fast as they are stocked. The Body Shop’s Wellbeing collection includes gels, balms and essential oil blends that promise to energize, detox and calm. For a little lift-the knife-free, natural way-the store’s Body Focus line is a comprehensive collection of anti-aging and cellulite serums, masks, firmers and scrubs.
With shimmery eye shadows, plumping mascaras, mineral blushes and modern application tools, The Body Shop’s make-up products can easily be mistaken for any other glamorous over-the-beauty-counter finds. Instead, these cruelty-free cosmetics are smartly packaged in recyclable containers and infused with earth-made and community trade ingredients like the marula oil which comes from a 100% woman-owned and operated cooperative that empowers over 4,800 women with financial independence. With virtuous advantages like this, The Body Shop lets a girl get her glow on from the inside out.
Just another one of the store’s revolutionary concepts is The Body Shop at Home program. As part of the signature Girls’ Nite Out, a store Consultant will bring a plethora of beauty products, tricks and tips to your home for a night of pampering and fun. The Host chooses from one of three decadent party themes and has the potential to receive free products, discounted shopping and exclusive offers. Now that’s going above-and-beyond the call of beauty!
One final pretty perk is The Body Shop’s “Love Your Body” loyalty card. For $10, this club card entitles beautiful you to 10% off of all purchases for an entire year, a birthday gift, plus access to members-only savings, exclusives and events.
With over 2,400 stores (as of 3/20/09) in 61 countries and more than 1,200 available products, The Body Shop transforms global ethics and earth appreciation into local beauty while truly making a difference for every body on the planet.
