Best Body Shop Products 2019 | The Sun UK

LAUNCHING over 40 years ago in 1976, The Body Shop is known for its products and has options for all of your skincare needs.

But with body butters to scrubs and washes to cleansers, moisturisers and makeup, it's tricky to know what the best Body Shop products are.

What might be more well known is founder Anita Roddick's idea that business could be a force for change.

The retailer has been a staunch supporter of the fight against animal testing, helping to ban the practice in the UK and the EU, and campaigning for a worldwide cruelty-free beauty industry.

And Community Trade, launched by the retailer in 1987, pioneered fair trade in the beauty industry.

Nowadays the company sources raw ingredients and harnesses traditional skills from around the world to benefit local communities.

Of course, on top of all the social and environmental work it does, the company just keeps on giving with its gorgeous, natural, skin-loving goodies.

We've rounded up our pick of the best Body Shop products below. Get ready, but be warned: you’ll want to add everything to your basket.

1. Ginger Shampoo

The bestselling (globally) Body Shop product is… (drumroll, please) the Ginger Anti-Dandruff Shampoo.

This scalp-soothing, dry flake-fighting shampoo is a must for anybody that suffers with dandruff. Ginger essential oil from Sri Lanka is blended with white willow extracts and Community Trade honey to help clear dead skin and leave hair soft and smooth at the same time.

Mop up excess oil and draw out impurities with this fabulous pore-clearing face mask.

A skin-conditioning cocktail of Himalayan bamboo charcoal, Japanese green tea leaves, and Kenyan organic tea tree oil combine to absorb oil and refine the appearance of pores for a healthy-looking, glowing complexion.

It’s also 100% vegan for all you animal lovers out there (that’s everybody then, right?).
