The reason I got interested in "natural" cosmetics is because of The Body Shop. I wanted to create my own version of African The Body Shop and its a great learning on what happens once what was created out of passion become a corporation and how to avoid that misstep

The sad thing that loads of drug store retailers copied hero products like the body products Years ago. I agree with this podcast they didn’t move with the times. So sad I worked for body shop for 4 years 12 years ago it used me be packed with loyal customers. So sad.

I worked for bodyshop at home l. Since they changed how from mlm to ambassadors not worth it anymore. This is why I'm now starting my own skincare line

I used to love the body shop. I can’t remember but I think they were expensive and couldn’t compete with the massive sales of bath and body works and cheap Victoria secret perfumes. Then they discontinued this warming clay mask which actually helped my acne. That was the last straw for me.
