The bodyshop
industry to move quickly.
Inspired by nature
The Body Shop sells products inspired by nature. Fruits, vegetable extracts and
natural oils feature prominently in our products and in the product names.
Why then, do we also add synthetic chemicals - aren't natural ingredients always the
best option?
The inspiration for most of our products comes from traditional beauty practices used
around the world, for example using cocoa butter to moisturise or cucumber as an
astringent. We continue to expand on this legacy, for example by reflecting the
change of the seasons in our new seasonal ranges by using cranberry and chocolate
for Christmas and pastel shades for spring.
Our products are based on naturally sourced ingredients wherever possible, but may
contain synthetic chemicals where they are necessary for the quality, safety or
functional requirements of the product, and where no suitable natural alternatives
exist
