The Body Shop

Founded in the UK in 1976 by Dame Anita Roddick, The Body Shop® now have over 2,200 stores in 55 countries, with a range of over 1,200 products, all animal cruelty-free, and many with fairly traded natural ingredients. The Body Shop® was the first international cosmetics brand to be awarded the Humane Cosmetics Standard for our Against Animal Testing policy.

And they have their own fair trade programme called Community Trade, making them the only cosmetics company with such an extensive commitment to trading fairly.

The Body Shop® is a leader in the trend towards greater corporate transparency, and they have been a force for positive social and environmental change through their lobbying and campaigning programmes around our five core Values: Support Community Trade, Defend Human Rights, Against Animal Testing, Activate Self-Esteem, and Protect Our Planet.
