The Pulse store brings a fresh new look together with sustainable design to The Body Shop, and aims to reduce store impact on the environment even further by replacing fluorescent lights in the bays with LED strips, as well as reducing to 35w ceiling lamps. The result? Energy consumption is cut by up to 25%* compared to regular stores.

The very “homey and “relaxed” concept

This store uses FSC wood throughout. This means that their wood is responsibly sourced and their boutiques look great. They’re also going Wood Positive with our paper and cardboard-based packaging. This means they plant more trees than we use to create the packaging in the first place.

The Body Shop’s  antique-style shopping carts are replicas of those found in traditional French market places. Highlighting their favourite products in a rustic chic manner, we think they lend a certain je ne sais quoi to The Body Shop.

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.
