10 REASONS TO GET TOTALLY ADDICTED TO THE BODY SHOP

4 Comments


10 Products withstood the test of time and emerged as iconic best-sellers from The Body Shop. 

The Body Shop has been synonymous with nature-inspired products since it first opened in 1976. From the initial 25 hand-mixed products, the range has grown to over 1,200 products, all 100% vegetarian and animal cruelty-free. What’s more, 80% of their products contain Community Fair Trade natural ingredients, all bursting with effectiveness. Community Fair Trade enables them to source ingredients, gifts and accessories in a fair way, creating sustainable trading relationships with marginalized communities around the world.

Winning the hearts of their customers across Asia, 10 special products have stood out. Not only loved for their effectiveness, these products come jam-packed with inspiring stories, charting special moments in the history of The Body Shop.

1. MORINGA BODY BUTTER

Mention the words “Body Butter” and The Body Shop immediately springs to mind. Formulated with moringa seed oil from hand-picked moringa pods, it has a delicate floral fragrance and moisturizes for up to 24 hours.

2. WHITE MUSK® EAU DE TOILETTE

Launched in 1981, not only was our White Musk® fragrance an instant best-seller, it also represented a landmark in the fragrance industry since it was one of the first animal cruelty-free musks, made without harming the musk deer.

 

3. TEA TREE OIL

Body Shop’s  best-selling Tea Tree Oil is a natural solution to help keep skin blemish free without over-drying the skin. Hand-picked to ensure a purer oil, the benefits of the Tea Tree Oil make it truly multi-functional and beyond clearing blemishes, I have found many other uses for it, including dabbing on mosquito bites, applying on cuts and scrapes, cleaning make-up brushes, bathing and foot soaks and even massaging. I would like to think of it as a ‘genie in a bottle.’

 

4. VITAMIN E MOISTURE CREAM

It effectively moisturizes and softens skin, protecting it against the effects of harsh environmental elements and the appearance of pre-mature ageing.  It’s perfect for normal to dry skin types, easily absorbed and has the lightness of a lotion with the moisturizing benefits of a cream.

5. SPA WISDOM™ AFRICA XIMENIA & SALT SCRUB

Inspired by African beauty rituals, traditions and ingredients, the Spa Wisdom™  is luxuriously creamy cleansing exfoliator give results in silky smooth skin and allows you to create a pampering spa experience in their own home, when time doesn’t allow an escape to a resort.

 

6. STRAWBERRY SHOWER GEL

Amongst Body Shop’s highly popular shower gels, Strawberry is my ultimate favorite. I have found out that strawberry seeds can be squeezed to extract the fabulously fruity oil that smells divine and is so good for the skin. They now take the unwanted seeds away from producers of strawberry jam and use them in their Strawberry range. Another great example of recycling from The Body Shop.

7. ALL-IN-ONE FACE BASE

This quick and easy-to-use combined foundation and powder provides fabulous coverage. It can be used dry for a light matte finish or wet for higher coverage.

This foundation contains Marula Oil which has remarkable moisturizing and conditioning properties making their product very easy to blend and feel lightweight on the skin.

8. TEA TREE SKIN CLEARING FACIAL WASH

The Tea Tree Skin Clearing Facial Wash is a refreshing cleanser with added peppermint essential oil which cools and refreshes the skin, leaving it feeling tingly clean. In addition to Community Fair Trade Tea Tree Oil, it contains Tamanu Oil from Madagascar, which has  fantastic skin moisturizing properties to help stop skin drying out whilst you cleanse, and lemon tea tree from Kenya, which gives the product a zesty fragrance.

 

9. OLIVE DRY OIL MIST

A spritz of our lightweight moisturization with lustrous Community Trade organic olive oil leaves the skin feeling fresh and soft all-day.

10. GRAPESEED GLOSSING SERUM

A glossing serum that adds great gloss and shine to the hair. It also helps moisturize the hair and is easily washed out. With Community Fair Trade Sesame Oil from Nicaragua which moisturizes and helps soften the skin.

Take a look at The Body Shop’s Big Sale

This March as you visit The Body Shop’s summer sale, take note of the wooden crates that contain and display their wonderful products. Continuing its long tradition of helping global and local communities, The Body Shop Philippines has tapped Tahanang Walang Hagdanan Inc. to create crates from wooden pallets, used in the shipment of their lovely beauty products from the United Kingdom.

 

 

Through these simple crates, the brand is able to live its core values especially activating self esteem, protecting the planet, and supporting community fair trade. Through these wooden boxes, The Body Shop is proud to take part in the livelihood program of Tahanang Walang Hagdanan and strengthen the sense of purpose of orthopedically challenged Filipinos.

 

Tahanang Walang Hagdanan, Inc. is a non—stock, non—profit and non—government organization that aims to uplift the lives of the orthopedically handicapped persons. It was founded by Sr. Valeriana Baerts, ICM.A Belgian nun who was assigned as a volunteer nurse here in the Philippines. Located in Cainta Rizal, it has five workshops, six dormitories for trainees who came from far provinces. It is a rehabilitation and skills training center with sheltered workshops where the people with disabilities are trained to be productive and self-reliant members of the society.

 

 

Made from used pallets from their cargo, the crates are tangible proof that The Body Shop practices the 3 Rs it espouses — reduce, reuse, recycle. Turning the pallets into wooden crates is a testament to the many ways The Body Shop tries to protect our planet.

 

As The Body Shop is one of the first companies to engage in community fair trade, this arrangement with TWHI is a local initiative that exhibits support for community fair trade, one of its five core values.

 

Visit one of The Body Shop stores this summer and pick one of their great sale offers from these unassuming but values-filled crates and know that as you enjoy your wonderful summer finds from The Body Shop, TWHI residents and mother earth are smiling with you.
