Which Body Butter is right for you?

The Body Shop® difference: Back in 1976 when The Body Shop® was founded, no one was talking much about the advantages of natural ingredients or the idea of ethical, fair trade. It’s one of the reasons why Dame Anita Roddick was a pioneer in the cosmetics and skin care industry. Another was the 1992 launch of our ground-breaking Body Butter range, which competitors have been trying to copy (unsuccessfully) ever since. Our Vitamin E Body Butter was a favorite of Anita’s. Her top tip was to mix in wheat germ oil for extra moisturization and a special treat.

Community Trade Information

Shea butter is one of nature's great moisturizers. Ghanaian women have used it for centuries to protect their skin from the dry Saharan winds. So who better to buy ours from than the Tungteiya Shea Butter Association, Northern Ghana. An association of around 400 women from 10 villages, we ensure a fair price for their product. Since trading with The Body Shop the women have been able to dramatically change their lives with water pipes and wells saving hours of water collecting, better housing, medical care, food, and self esteem. Importantly, they are also able to give their children, particularly their daughters, the chance to go to school.

For centuries the women of Ghana have used cocoa butter to moisturize and cool their skin in the African heat. Since 1995, The Body Shop has been buying cocoa beans from the Kuapa Kokoo company in Ghana, a fair trade co-operative with over 30,000 small-scale farmers. The money made by the co-operative enables the development of community projects such as schools and village wells in addition to providing the farmers with income to support their families.

Through our trade, the Capanema farmers receive a fair and regular income for their soya beans, which means they are also able to preserve their traditional way of living. In Brazil, where so much Genetically Modified soya is produced for world markets, Community Trade initiatives are essential for supporting organic farmers.
