This is not just a company that produces and sells cosmetics. The Body Shop is a philosophy built on caring and protecting the environment, respecting customers through the production of high-quality funds, and conducting charity events aimed at achieving a variety of goals. The company has been on the world market for more than 30 years and during this time it has not disappointed consumers at all.
A few words about the good deeds of the brand
The company gained popularity due to the release of products based on natural ingredients. However, in numerous reviews of The Body Shop cosmetics, consumers are delighted not only with the high quality of the funds, but also with the work of the charity foundation of the same name. For example, in 1990 the project “Children on the edge of the abyss” was launched, thanks to which children's homes were put in order in Romania, and the pupils themselves were able to spend their leisure time interestingly and with benefit.
Today, the company's product range includes more than 900 units of decorative cosmetics and care products. You can find British brand products in 48 countries of the world, including Russia.
For body
After reviewing customer reviews and the best-seller ratings on the official website of The Body Shop, it can be concluded that consumers are completely delighted with the effectiveness of oils and scrubs.
Among the presented samples, the highest marks were received:
- African Ximenia. Body peeling based on the oil of the fruits of the African Xenia tree delicately renews the skin, making its surface soft and velvety, as after a procedure of professional SPA-care. The main ingredient is rich in oleic acid, which has emollient, protective and firming properties. Reviews on Body Shop African Ximenia scrub recommend using the product no more than twice a week and applying it to moist skin with light massaging movements, paying special attention to the elbows and knees. Price - 990 rubles (200 ml).
- Satsuma oil. In addition to a piquant citrus aroma, the product has excellent moisturizing properties, literally melts on the skin without leaving a sticky film. The rich texture based on satsuma seeds (one of the varieties of mandarin) supports the natural dermal balance, providing moisture up to 24 hours. There are no parabens in the composition. It is recommended to apply the product on steamed skin with massage movements until completely absorbed. Price - 990 rubles (200 ml).
- Japanese Camellia. Another bestseller from The Body Shop. Reviews on body cream emphasize its exquisite floral aroma and amazing softening properties. The effectiveness of the product is due to the presence in the composition of the camellia petals, rich in oleic acid, which have been used in Asia for skin care for as many as 14 centuries! Price - 1990 rubles (350 ml).
For hands
The skin in this area is very vulnerable, since fatty tissue is much thinner than in other parts of our body. Therefore, brushes require not just regular, but high-quality care.
Let's start with cleansing. In the assortment of The Body Shop brand there are 5 antibacterial agents, and all of them are highly appreciated by customers. However, Pink Grapefruit has the largest number of orders. The composition contains no harmful triclosan. Women were satisfied not only with instant cleansing, but also with a compact package that allows you to carry the gel in a handbag or cosmetic bag. Price - 290 rubles (60 ml).
After high-quality cleansing, it's time to protect the skin with The Body Shop products. Reviews about hand creams called "Hemp oil" the best in their field. It is not surprising, because the main ingredient is famous for its powerful antiseptic and regenerative properties. The presence in the composition of this component not only in hand cream, but also in any cosmetic product guarantees high-quality protection against adverse factors: low and high temperatures, wind and moisture. Due to the increased concentration of active substances (Omega-3 and 6), the following results are achieved:
- normalization of moisture at the cellular level;
- return of elasticity;
- the termination of delamination of nails;
- calming effect on irritated and weathered skin of the hands.
Price - 890 rubles (100 ml).
For face
What words are not used when they want to emphasize the beauty of the skin of the face. She is called radiant, delicate, silky ... However, not every woman can boast of such a skin: her appearance is influenced by nutrition, and the environmental situation, and, of course, the choice of care products. But judging by the reviews, The Body Shop creams will become faithful helpers in the struggle for a perfect and even tone. For example, a leader in sales was a product called Algae. The light texture, free of oils and parabens, is instantly absorbed and maintains hydro-balance in the deeper layers of the skin throughout the day. Buyers say that the cream is perfect for owners of not only dry and normal skin, but also combination skin. The list of benefits also included the ability to matte, control unwanted gloss and create an even tone. Price - 890 rubles (50 ml).
It is impossible to imagine integrated care without masks. Reviews about Body Shop recommend paying attention to a product called Aloe. The manufacturer claims that the reducing agent is made from an organic plant that is grown in Guatemala. Here it is collected and processed manually, preserving its useful properties. Thanks to this approach, the following result is achieved:
- the water balance of the dermis is restored;
- the general condition of sensitive skin improves;
- irritations and redness are removed;
- there is a tonic effect.
Application: it is recommended to apply the mask with a thin layer on a previously cleaned and slightly steamed face. After 20 minutes, wipe the cloth to remove the product. The course is once a week. Price - 1090 rubles (100 ml).
The Tea Tree Collection as a Solution for Problem Skin
As you know, this type of dermis needs a slightly different care, and the components used must contain components with powerful antiseptic and antibacterial properties. These are the qualities that the Tea Tree brand of The Body Shop has.
Tea Tree reviews strongly recommend purchasing the following products:
- Cleansing gel - effectively removes excess sebum without overdrying the dermis. Great for daily use. The composition does not contain sulfates, parabens, gluten and silicones. Price - 590 rubles per 250 ml.
- Serum - a light concentrate significantly narrows the pores, evens out and mattifies the tone, and also perfectly prepares the face for subsequent care. The first results are visible after 4 weeks of regular use. The price is 1090 rubles per 50 ml.
- Tonic - the action of this product is aimed at improving the general condition of the problem epidermis. In the reviews of The Body Shop Tea Tree Mattifyng Facial Toner, women claim that after the first use, a slight tingling sensation occurs, which disappears after a few minutes. Best of all, the tonic shows its qualities together with the foam for washing. Price - 570 rubles per 250 ml.
- Night mask - the absolute leader in the number of sales. Suitable for any type of skin, helps to avoid the occurrence of imperfections and, most importantly, is able to eliminate traces of acne. In addition, the mask provides deep cleansing of pores, dissolves sebaceous plugs, soothes irritations, relieves peeling and improves facial tone. A miracle, isn't it? Price - 990 rubles per 100 ml.
- Night cream gel - while you sleep, the remedy works. Buyers noted its matting properties, indicating that thanks to this the product can be used as a base for makeup. It is quickly absorbed, does not create a film, but can not cope with acne. Price - 590 rubles per 30 ml.
The video below provides an illustrative example of comprehensive care for problem skin.
For hair
The company's experts care not only about the skin, but also the hair of their customers. Therefore, for the beauty of curls, 3 series were created, including the most necessary means to maintain their purity and attractive appearance. The action of the products from the Banana collection is aimed at giving a natural radiance, the Rainforest will help in moisturizing, the Strawberry will protect against dullness, and the Ginger will provide deep cleansing, restore the structure and protect against dandruff.
According to reviews of The Body Shop shampoos, many buyers preferred a product from the Rainforest series based on manchetti, oil palm, babassu and coconut. According to satisfied consumers, the detergent delicately removes dirt, softens, nourishes and gives curls not only an amazing aroma, but also a healthy glow. The composition lacks parabens, dyes and silicones. The only drawback noted by buyers is the thick texture, which makes it difficult to use. To enhance the effectiveness of women, it is recommended to supplement the shampoo with a mask from the same series. Price - 590 rubles per 250 ml.
In reviews of The Body Shop, girls are advised not to neglect additional care and purchase a grape seed shine serum. A universal remedy that promotes hair nutrition from the roots to the ends, is easily washed off, does not oily curls and makes it easy to comb. Application: warm a small amount of serum in the palms of your hands and spread over the entire length. The product can be applied to both wet and dry hair before using the hair dryer and subsequent styling. Price - 790 rubles per 75 ml.
Perfumery
The fragrance is a reflection of personality and character. The brand’s collection contains compositions for any mood and taste. For example, reviews of The Body Shop advise you to pay attention to the floral musk perfume White Musk, presented in the format of concentrated oil. The olfactory pyramid is based on a harmonious interweaving of notes of iris, lilies, roses, vanilla and, of course, musk. Perfume is very persistent, does not contain alcohol, which means it is suitable for sensitive skin types.
Indian Night Jasmine enjoys no less popularity among buyers, which can be found in the "Bestseller" section of The Body Shop's official website. Reviews recommend using toilet water in conjunction with other products of the same series, as "Indian Night Jasmine" pleases with a gentle sound, but afflicts with its durability. In the central chords, in addition to the heady jasmine, you can hear notes of freesia, peony, vanilla and woody accents of sandalwood.

In search of a source of youth, The Body Shop experts traveled all over the world and found 3 unique components that can survive even in the most extreme climatic conditions.

Budget equivalent
Good news for those who consider the products of The Body Shop brand expensive: there is a brand on the domestic market that offers organic cosmetic products at attractive prices. And judging by the numerous reviews, in the assortment of the brand there are many worthy of attention and effective tools.
The first Organic Shop store opened its doors in 2010 and for a short period of existence, the company won the hearts of millions of customers who leave their enthusiastic reviews on the site every day.
Organic Shop Body Desserts can not be called a regular line. This is a real “treat” for your skin. The collection is represented by several categories of products intended for body care. Consider the most popular.
1. Peeling:
- Watermelon Sugar Sorbet - invigorating fruity aroma will energize and energize. Active ingredients include jojoba oil, Australian mint, sugarcane and organic watermelon seeds.
- Hot Chocolate is the bestseller of the brand. A warming scrub with an amazing chocolate aroma. Cocoa butter takes care of nutrition and hydration, walnut cleanses pores, Guinea pepper extract awakens dormant skin cells, making it more elastic and smooth.
- Tropical Mix - anti-cellulite scrub will be your best assistant in the fight against orange peel. Active ingredients: Hawaiian pineapple juice extract, papaya extract, coconut flakes and avocado oil.
2. The best creams in the Organic Shop Body Desserts series:
- Caramel Cappuccino - customer reviews called this product a coffee dessert that does not harm the female figure, but, on the contrary, leaves only a good impression. No wonder, because the subtle aroma hides real strength and power. All thanks to the presence of green coffee in the composition, which is responsible for the tightening effect and makes the skin supple. Among the active ingredients, you can also find cocoa and shea butter, caramel and spicy cinnamon necessary for moisturizing, which improve metabolism and prevent aging of the skin.
- Banana Milk Shake, like the previous remedy, received a lot of rave reviews. Buyers argue that despite the rather light texture, the formula as soon as possible returns the epidermis lost tenderness and velvety. Thanks to banana extract peeling is eliminated, organic oils of avocado and macadamia give elasticity, and Mexican vanilla prevents stretch marks.
In the end, I would like to note that at the moment there are more than two hundred positive reviews about Organic Shop Body Desserts. You can not say about similar products of the British The Body Shop. In fairness, we note: in terms of the effectiveness of the grooming qualities, the European company is stronger, but in the price category the domestic brand is in the lead.
It is up to you to decide which brand to prefer, but remember that everyone has a different body, and before making a purchase, carefully read the composition to avoid negative consequences in the form of an allergic reaction to a specific ingredient.
