"Over the years, commitment to animal welfare at The Body Shop has
been steadfast and proud. Our move to a 100% vegetarian status is a
mark of our continued commitment to animal protection in our
industry. We believe that this is not only a sound ethical
solution, but that it offers our customers superior performance as
well."
Jan Buckingham, The Body Shop Values Director.
PROUD TO BE VEGETARIAN
At The Body Shop, we're proud to announce that all of our products
are now produced without using any animal meat industry
by-products, like gelatin or hair. So they're 100% suitable for our
vegetarian customers.
NO MORE NATURAL HAIR
To achieve our fully vegetarian status, we've replaced the
natural hair in our shaving brushes with superior synthetic hair.
But don't worry about a difference to the quality. We already use
synthetic hair in our award-winning make-up brushes, loved by
professional make-up artists for their precision and silky soft
bristles.
OUR VEGAN PRODUCTS
We're also happy to offer vegan customers a selection of products
that contain no animal-derived ingredients, such as beeswax, at
all. These include our evocative Neroli Jasmin and Cassis Rose
fragrance ranges, our soothing Tea Tree range and our Brilliance
Powders, Bronzing Powders, Shimmer Waves and All In One Face Base.
COMMITTED TO ANIMAL WELFARE
Why do we do what we do? Because The Body Shop has a long and
proud history of standing against animal testing, and actively
supporting animal welfare. And our move to make all our products
100% suitable for vegetarians continues our
commitment.
