10 REASONS TO GET TOTALLY ADDICTED TO THE BODY SHOP
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.

Neem, well known for its antibacterial properties, helps in controlling acne and pimples, and their recurrence. When combined with Turmeric, it effectively eliminates acne-causing bacteria. Fuller’s Earth (Multani Mitti) cools and soothes the skin.

CONS:

7/10

Dermalogica Oil Control Lotion – The Best for Acne!
Dermalogica oil control lotion is a feather-light lotion with technically advanced micro-sponges to absorb oil on the skin’s surface throughout the day, reducing shine and providing a smooth, matte finish. Active sebum regulating complex helps control oil production while Enantia Chlorantha Bark Extract helps reduce oily shine. Contains no artificial fragrance or color. It’s formulated with Salicylic Acid to help prevent future breakouts. It’s ideally suited for an oily or acne-prone skin
It comes in a white bottle with a nozzle cap and you have to turn the lid which moves it upwards a little for the product to come out. The lotion is white and very thin and runny in texture. It doesn’t have a strong scent which is common among dermalogica products. for me, i love the scent because sometimes my skin is a bit sensitive to products with strong smell!
All you need is just a small amount because a small drop goes a long way, its very light, it absorbs quickly and easily. What i love about this product is, it makes my skin feel matte and fresh. But it doesn’t leave my skin shine free all day. i don’t recommend this a moisturizer but more of a treatment to your skin. I love how it made my zits disappear! before I’ve applied this i have some big zits on my face but after 3 days of application they were all gone 🙂
ADVANTAGE:
– Controls Oil in a very nice way
– The smell
– It made my zits disappear in 3 days
– very light and absorbs very quickly
– suited for an oily or acne-prone skin
DISADVANTAGE:
– The Price
– Limited retail stores/ outlets
RECOMMENDABLE:
YES!!!
