"If business comes with no moral sympathy or honourable code of behaviours, then God help us all."

Dame Anita Roddick. Human Rights Activist. Founder of The Body Shop

We believe there is only one way to beautiful, nature's way. We've believed this for years and still do. We constantly seek out wonderful natural ingredients from all four corners of the globe, and we bring you products bursting with effectiveness to enhance your natural beauty. Whilst we're doing this we always strive to protect this beautiful planet and the people who depend on it. We don't do it this way because it's fashionable. We do it because, to us, it's the only way.

The Soul of Beauty

To us, beauty is a feeling, a natural way of being, where character, self-esteem and humour are freely expressed and celebrated. That's the soul of beauty. It's not just about looking beautiful. It's about exuding a vibrant attitude to life.

   
 

Our Incredible Planet

Our commitment to seeking and sustaining natural materials and ingredients, and using all our planet's resources wisely, guides our approach to business. We set challenging environmental targets, which we detail in our bi-annual Values Reports. We were one of the first to make a stand against animal testing in the cosmetics industry, and through The Body Shop Foundation, we continue to fund organizations campaigning to end the needless suffering of animals.

 
   
 

The Community of People

People are at the heart and soul of our business. We strive to treat all people in a fair and open fashion, to respect and value their integrity. We take enormous pride in our Community Trade programme, not just because we were the first to bring fair trade to our industry, but because of the real difference it makes to the lives of the farmers, producers and their communities.
