There is no surprise that it had over 2400 shops worldwide diverse between small shops and mega stores expanded over sixty one different countries in most Europe, the Middle East, South Africa and the United States of America!

The Body Shop’s name doesn’t sound exciting, actually I thought it was quite daft and boring, but it was the choice of the store’s founder, Anita Roddick (and her husband), who opened the first store on the 26th March 1976 in Brighton! From there it was the beginning of the new era of the store. Year after year, The Body Shop has flourished and expanded from locally to nationally; and finally internationally ...

Review of The Body Shop (Shop)

=== UPDATE === Where the row of asterisk's are in my review is where I have updated it. I am not going to delete or change anything I have said previously, as that was my experience and nothing can change that. But the more helpful members of staff have restored my faith in The Body Shop... If you like a wide range of brilliant bath and body products, fabulous make-up and the some of the best make-up brushes you may ever come across, this is the ...
...I have heard is brilliant! The Body Shop is extremely popular and well-known. They also have great values, such as looking after the planet, which pleases me. == The Good == As I said, lovely products, all smelling delicious. They have many different scents which is great, as I'm sure everybody will find a scent they like. Their make-up range, Nature's Mineral's, is fabulous! They also have a great facial skincare range and beautiful gifts which ...

Review of The Body Shop (Shop)

...for a shop, really. The Body Shop. And yet it is an extremely well known name, recently voted the 27th most respected company in the world by the Financial Times and the 2nd best brand in the retail sector by the 1997 Interbrand survey (see www.thebodyshop.com for more details). Born in Brighton in 1976, for almost thirty years now The Body Shop has been providing natural, environmentally friendly products on the high street, at high street prices ...
...Shop stores across the UK, and more internationally. All stores have the same range of products. I personally have visited probably ten or eleven stores across the north of England and have found that prices are uniform throughout these stores, as is the décor and general style of the shop. The inside of The Body Shop is always neat and tidy, and the products arranged in attractive displays. They are usually arranged by ‘type’; so all white musk ...

...as bath and body products, The Body Shop also does an extensive range of skincare products that use natural ingredients that are good for the skin such as tea tree oil. These are separated into ranges to suit different skin types but which are still based on a main ingredient such as a range of products using jojoba for dry skin. In these ranges you will find the usual types of products you would expect from a skincare range like cleansers, toners ...

These may be the subject of future reviews, but this is simply about a reacquaintance with an old friend!

I was a devotee of their lovely, rich body lotions and butters as well as their exotic bath and shower gels, creams and oils. ...

Compared to what had been available in SA, I was amazed at all the different brands- and the extent of their ranges-that I now had access to. I was in beauty product heaven! Shopping took on a whole new meaning. I enjoyed experimenting with different lotions and potions and there were soooooooo ...

I certainly didn’t know much about the evils of Nestle before Ciao, and now it really does make a difference when I scan the supermarket shelves for chocolate. Not only do I go for the biggest bar, I try to stick with Cadburys! And so I found myself wondering about the Body Shop. Before researching this review, I knew very little about the company ...
...with) is simple but effective: the Body Shop is a caring company who prevents the suffering of animals, sells “natural” products, and who helps to protect the environment and third world producers. Oh, and that they recycle their packaging. I knew that: you just take it back to the shop. I feel guilty every time I throw plastic in the bin, so I thought shopping at the Body Shop might alleviate some guilt. But then I read this article on the web: ...

...have loved and respected since the age of around 10. When I was younger, I was looked after a lot by an auntie who was a big animal rights campaigner and due to me looking up to her so much, I not only learnt a lot about different products and companies and methods of animal testing but I also managed to acquire come beliefs which I still hold. When I was about 12 years old I wrote a really beautiful email to the body shop HQ telling them about ...
...not have to look on the back of the item to see if it's tested on animals or not, it is a company policy and people can stick to their beliefs by shopping with a company like themselves. Within an hour of sending the email, I received a really friendly, and lengthy reply which has forever made me feel that The Body Shop are a great company who have their priorities correct. I still stand by the belief that animal testing is complete cruelty, but ...

Review of The Body Shop (Shop)

In the US I’ve wandered Body Shop stores from Glendale, California to Skokie, Illinois to New York, New York! I’ve stopped by UK Body Shops in London, York and Oxford. There’s one I often visit when I’m in Amsterdam, and I even peeked into one of their Dublin stores many years ago. Most recently I found a Body Shop in Bucharest, Romania of all places. So, you might say that I’ve been in Body Shop stores all over the world. I therefore thought that ...
...Like its name suggests, the Body Shop has items that are primarily to be used for the outside of your body. This means it doesn’t have items that are consumed orally, but only items that are applied externally. That some of them will effect your internal health by their scents or osmosis is just an added advantage. Specifically, Body Shops have the following types of products: Bath Products - these include bath & shower creams, gels and scrubs. ...

Review of The Body Shop (Shop)

Everyone knows the Body Shop. Brainchild of the wild-haired Anita Roddick, it stormed to prominence in the ‘80s with its fair world trade philosophy, its promotion of natural ingredients and its up-down-up-down share price and the constant is-it-or-isn’t-it-going-bust stories in the press. The Shops: All Body Shop stores are the same. Dark green fittings and shelves upon shelves of gorgeously simple looking beauty products. None have ...
...hell for wheelchair users. The Claims: The Body Shop claim to only use goods that are from renewable resources, to trade fairly with the countries from which they import goods, and to absolutely not test on animals. I don’t know how true any of this is. I do remember some controversy a few years back about them using products that have been tested on animals by other companies, even though they don’t test on animals themselves. I’ve ...

Review of The Body Shop (Shop)

The Body Shop has done a good job of presenting itself as a politically correct, animal friendly place where you can buy products from without having to worry. You’ve been tricked. I’ve been tricked. They make wide use of non-renewable petrochemicals; synthetic colours, fragrances and preservatives are used in their “Natural” products. It is the same story with many of these multi-national companies. There are even some experts who have warned ...
...of the synthetic ingredients. Worse of all, in my mind, the Body Shop also regularly irradiate certain products to try to kill microbes. The Body Shop says it is against it. Well, I imagine that might be the case, but that does not seem to stop them using ingredients in their products have been tested on animals by other companies. You’ll also be able to find Body Shop products that have gelatine in them - gelatine, by the way, is produced from ...

...day as a member reading the opinions of other people and quite frankly I am very impressed by the quality of stuff people write; I am not sure that I can match this myself, there seems to be so much good writing out there. My first opinion is on Body Shop. i am a regular shopper there, I was not put off by the revelations that despite their advertising some of the ingredients of their products are tested on animals. I don't agree with this but lets ...
...body lotions, soaps, you know the sort of thing I am sure. Their range seems a bit limited though, not a huge sellection of different scents but their is quite a wide variety of gift sets and combinations for you to try, often sold in neat little baskets which can come in quite handy after the products they came with are long gone. Most of their goods are made from natural ingredients, coconut, strawberry, lavender, rose and smell very much like ...

The Body Shop is a well established company and I love all of their products. My favourites are the body butters, lip balms, soaps, face cleansing/moisturising, fragrances and makeup. (Their massage products are awesome as well!) Though the prices are just above my budget I always save up for their goods because they are quality, kept close to nature and are animal friendly (which is very important for me). I never regret it. I believe that as a ...
...in. The one issue I am unsure of is that the company was bought by L'oreal. L'oreal test their products on animals but as far as I know, they are taking points from the Body Shop and are looking for alternative methods. Hence, the Body Shop has and will remain - cruelty free. The choice is always easy for me and I buy all my essentials from there. <3 xoox ...

My wife shops there with frightening regularity and I always look in there when searching for a present for her (my wife that is not Anita)or my daughters.

The smell as you enter fills the air with a blend of exotic herbs and fragrancies and is enough to make you want to buy something. A particular ...

Back to the present front you will be hard pressed not to find something that will make the ideal gift for a loved one, they have some pretty good gift items and ideas.Prices are reasonable and certainly in line with other local stores.
