Which Body Butter is right for you?

The Body Shop® difference: Two famous firsts: Body Butter and Hemp. The Body Shop® launched its famous Body Butter range in 1992, making it the world’s original Body Butter. Often imitated, but never duplicated, our Body Butters provide up to 24 hours of non-stop moisturization and are packed with Community Trade ingredients to soften and condition the skin. Then, in May 1998, The Body Shop® became the first major retailer to carry a body-care line featuring the benefits of super-moisturizing hemp seed oil. Guess you could say that we’ve always been ahead of our time!

Community Trade Information

Trade with Coppalj, a co-operative of small-scale producers in north eastern Brazil, has provided a dependable source of income for over a hundred producers from 12 communities in the area. Women are at the center of the babassu story. After 30 years of campaigning against large landowners, the women babassu breakers won legal rights to go onto the land and extract the babassu nuts. This enables them to earn a living while at the same time preserving the forest from being cut down for grazing cattle. The women in the communities continue to play an important part in the ongoing trade in babassu oil, which helps to improve their status and raise self-esteem.
