BEAUTY WITH HEART IN ACTION : TEA TREE OIL

Our tea tree oil, used in our iconic skincare range, comes from tea tree plants grown organically in the foothills of Mount Kenya. When ready to be harvested, the best leaves are picked by hand, then steam-distilled to release the organic oil.

Beauty In Heart In Action: Marula Oil

Marula oil is used in lots of our iconic make-up products like Moisture Foundation, Shimmer Waves and Brush On Bronze. It comes from the ripened fruit of the marula tree which is native to many parts of central and southern Africa. The women of the co-operative extract the kernels from ripe marula fruits by hand, then cold-press the kernels at their factory to extract the marula oil inside.

Discover the heart inside our iconic make-up products.

The Body Shop Body Butters just got even better!

Reblog

Cosmopolitan.co.uk:

The Body Shop Body Butters are a staple in any beauty regime, and they just got a packaging revamp. But with 13 varieties to choose from, which Body Butter best suits your skin type?

We love The Body Shop’s Body Butter. In fact, we’re not alone. With celebrity fans including Victoria Beckham (wonder if she uses it on David, too?) and Elle ‘The Body’ (butter?) MacPherson, there’s no wonder one Body Shop Body Butter is sold every two seconds! Impressive, huh?

It was cooked up – literally – in the kitchen of The Body Shop founder Anita Roddick’s kitchen. The Mango Body Butter was the first ‘flavour’ to be created and named by Anita’s daughter who noticed it was “just like butter… for your body”. A case of doing exactly what it says on the tin, eh?

With their firm yet creamy texture, natural and fairly traded ingredients, The Body Shop Butters should be a staple in any beauty regime for super soft, supple skin. Well, if it’s good enough for VB… And guess what? Body Shop Body Butters just got even better! They’ve got brand new mouth-watering packaging that focuses on a single natural ingredient found within.

NEW LIQUID BEAUTY

There’s a brand new arrival about to land, and we can’t wait to see it in-store. New Beautifying Oil is pure beauty in a bottle. It’s a super-light dry oil that gives a shimmering finish. Even better, you can use it on skin and hair. It’s instantly hydrating, so it will make you feel, as well as look, amazing.

Beautifying Oil is available in 11 of our favourite scents, including shea, moringa, coconut and strawberry. And it contains Community Fair Trade marula oil.

NEW-LOOK BODY BUTTER PREVIEW

When people think of The Body Shop, they think of Body Butter. It’s one of our most iconic products and everyone has a favourite flavour.

So when it came to our new look, it made sense to give these little tubs of creamy butter a makeover. We think the new packaging is pretty stylish. They’re looking great on our bathroom shelf. Add one to yours too!

Keep an eye out for these and more beautifully packaged products coming soon.
