“I just want The Body Shop to be the best, most breathlessly exciting company – and one that changes the way business is carried out. That is my vision.”
Anita Roddick. Human Rights Activist. Founder of The Body Shop.
The beauty behind our business. What we do. Why we do it. How we do it. And what makes us different.
We believe there is only one way to beautiful, nature’s way. We’ve believed this for years and still do. We constantly seek out wonderful natural ingredients from all four corners of the globe, and we bring you products bursting with effectiveness to enhance your natural beauty and express your unique personality. And whilst we’re doing this, we always strive to protect this beautiful planet and the people who depend on it. We don’t do it.
The Body Shop carries a wide range of products for the body, face, hair and home. The Body Shop does not claim its products are 'all-natural', but "inspired by nature" and they feature ingredients such as marula oil and sesame seed oil sourced through the Community Fair Trade program.

The Body Shop Foundation
The Roddicks founded The Body Shop Foundation in 1990, which supports innovative global projects working in the areas of human and civil rights and environmental and animal protection. It is The Body Shop International Plc's charitable trust funded by annual donations from the company and through various fundraising initiatives.
The Body Shop Foundation was formed to consolidate all the charitable donations made by the company. To date, The Body Shop Foundation has donated over £9.5 million sterling in grants. The Foundation regularly gives gift-in-kind support to various projects and organisations such as Children On The Edge (COTE).
The Body Shop does not recognise Trade Union membership.
