The Body Shop® aims to make a positive difference in the world by offering high quality cosmetics based on natural and nature-inspired ingredients for skin, body, hair and make-up care, ethically and sustainably manufactured in its stores.

The Body Shop® was the first international cosmetics company to introduce fair trade to the cosmetics and body care industry in 1987. Through its unique Community Fair Trade (CFT) program, The Body Shop® sources the finest raw natural ingredients and accessories from all four corners of the globe, with a commitment to fair trade with small farmers, traditional artisans and rural cooperatives who are experts in their field.

Cocoa from Ghana, marula oil from Namibia, alcohol from Ecuador, coconut oil from Samoa, hemp from England, tea tree oil from Kenya are just a few of the landmarks on the Community Fair Trade map, which will continue to expand over the coming years.
