The Body Shop

The Body Shop, founded in 1976 by Dame Anita Roddick in Brighton, England, is a globally recognized ethical beauty brand. It is celebrated for its pioneering approach to beauty, offering a wide range of naturally-inspired, cruelty-free skincare, body care, hair care, and makeup products. The brand has historically championed ethical sourcing and social activism, though it recently adjusted its 100% vegan product status. Despite recent challenges, including its UK business entering administration in early 2024 and subsequent acquisition by Auréa Group, The Body Shop continues to operate its retail stores, such as the Uxbridge location, which maintains a positive customer rating.
