The way we do business, the way we make products, the way we source ingredients, and the way we use our voice; we're different because of our Values.

OUR VALUES
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. 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 this way because it’s fashionable. We do it because, to us, it’s the only way.

the soul of beauty

To us, beauty is a feeling, a natural way of being, where character, self-esteem and humour are freely expressed and celebrated. That’s the soul of beauty. It’s not just about looking beautiful. It’s about exuding a vibrant attitude to life.

our incredible planet

Our commitment to seeking and sustaining natural materials and ingredients, and using all our planet’s resources wisely, guides our approach to business. We set challenging environmental targets, which we detail in our bi-annual Values Reports. We were one of the first to make a stand against animal testing in the cosmetics industry, and through The Body Shop Foundation, we continue to fund organisations campaigning to end the needless suffering of animals.

the community of people

People are at the heart and soul of our business. We strive to treat all people in a fair and open fashion, to respect and value their integrity. We take enormous pride in our Community Trade programme, not just because we were the first to bring fair trade to our industry, but because of the real difference it makes to the lives of the farmers, producers and their communities.

OUR CAMPAIGNS

We’ve always seen ourselves as a lot more than just a beauty company. For years we’ve campaigned against injustices, stood up for the vulnerable and spoken out for those without a voice of their own.

This is the place to find out how we stand up for others, and how you can do it too.

OUR CHARITY

We believe in sharing our profits. As Anita once said,

“the business of business should not just be about money, it should be about responsibility. It should be about public good, not private greed.“

This is the place to find out how our charity, The Body Shop Foundation, makes a difference.
