About the brand

Our story started in Brighton, England in 1976. It began with our founder, Dame Anita Roddick, and her belief in something revolutionary: that business could be a force for good. Following her vision, we’ve been rule breaking, never faking and change making for over 40 years. When The Body Shop first opened its doors in 1976, it was a little green-painted shop in the streets of Brighton, England. Its approach to beauty was radically different from the big players in the beauty industry. It was simple – ethically sourced and naturally-based ingredients from around the world, in no-nonsense packaging you could easily refill. Products and beauty rituals made for every body, that made women feel good in their skin – never promising to make them look like someone else.

Vitamin E Gentle Facial Wash

This might potentially be the worst facial cleanser I’ve ever tried in my life. Extremely difficult to lather, to a point that I’ll squeeze out a ridiculous amount just to feel that it’s enough to cle...Read more

Without doubt the WORST face powder I’ve ever used. Maybe even the worst makeup product I’ve ever used. I can’t remember the last time I wrote a review, but this powder is so bad and I’m fuming to hav...Read more

I find body shop products to be enjoyable experience to use (pleasant scent, texture) but performance is so so. It's not different from any other shampoo.

Takes off make-up rather well. Can sting eyes sometimes. After rinsing, there is still foundation residue on cotton pad when swiped with liquid makeup remover. So I'm not confident using this on its o...Read more

I thought this was ok but I had to use a lot to get slippage and to detangle my hair. Smells good though. I prefer the Banana Hair Mask over this conditioner. It's silicone free and the new version is...Read more
