Its products aren't cheap - but if you like your bath and beauty products smelling gorgeous, being ethically produced and not tested on animals, you've certainly come to the right place!
The Body Shop prides itself on supporting fair prices for growers in the Third World and helping communities support themselves. None of its products are tested on animals and for years it's been a leader on the environment - long before it became trendy to reduce our carbon footprint.
For this reason, I would rather pay more for the lovely smelling products at the Body Shop than the cheaper but definitely nastier alternatives.
I would've given this store 5 stars but unfortunately I had a bad experience at this particular store. The staff were incredibly rude and treated me like I was scum. Not only did they totally ignore me and my friend at the till but then when I asked about a special offer they were really patronising. We left the store in shock and disgust.
Not the service I've come to expect from The Body Shop - and certainly not how I treated my customers when I worked at this chain in New Zealand! Just goes to show how a bad experience can taint your view of what is otherwise a very reputable brand. read more
