If the weight of scientific evidence deems a chemical to be of immediate concern, we will ban its use in new products. Apart from those substances already banned by EU or UK authorities for use in cosmetics, The Body Shop has already banned a number of substances from use in our products and packaging, for example, PVC, Alkylphenols and organic tin compounds. Phasing out chemicals of concern In 2003, The Body Shop responded to concerns over phthalates and artificial musks in products by announcing a phase-out strategy. While these chemicals are added only to a fraction of our products, we want to ensure that we act responsibily and with a focus on the precautionary principle Our phase-out strategy dictates that phthalates and artificial musks are excluded from all new products, thus ensuring that the number of products containing these substances will decrease until these substances are eliminated from our range.
