It’s always a good feeling to buy from a brand that you know and can trust. Better yet, a brand that prides itself on producing high-quality and sustainable Community Fair Trade products.
Ringing a bell? Cruelty-free and ethically sourced, all cosmetics are crafted with natural-origin ingredients from partners all around the world.
Who else but… The Body Shop. A B Corp beauty company founded in 1976 with the notion that business should be a force for good. It's safe to say they're quite the overachievers.
One of the few brands that if spotted in a tiny local shop in a foreign country (and even in another language) there would be a ‘phew, we can relax now’ kind of moment. The skin will not just live but thrive for another day regardless of where you might be.
Whether it’s using a dollop of your go-to moisturiser to set yourself up for a big day ahead or slathering on your favourite glow mask as part of your self-care evening routine, The Body Shop’s bestsellers are loved by so many for a reason.
