Activate Self-Esteem
At The Body Shop®, we believe each individual is unique and beautiful, regardless of age, skin color, size or background. Our naturally inspired make-up, skin and body care products are created to enhance individual beauty. We will never sell false promises or play on insecurities in order to sell our products. That's why we only create products that do exactly what they say on the label, with no confusing jargon or misleading claims. To us, beauty is a feeling, a natural way of being, where character, self-esteem and humor are freely expressed and celebrated. It's not just about looking beautiful. It's about exuding a vibrant attitude to life. You are beautiful. And we like you just the way you are.

Domestic violence happens everywhere. At least 1 in 3 women around the world are beaten, coerced into sex, or otherwise abused in her lifetime. In many cases, the abuser is a member of her own family or someone known to her.
Stop Violence in the Home is a global campaign created by The Body Shop 10 years ago to inspire customers and employees to get active against domestic violence. Our campaign aims to raise awareness of the issue and generate funds to help those affected.
