I’ll support this brand forever

So they weren’t ethical the entire time before...🤔

@@andaiibori7205 Or they had formerly ethical sourcers that they stopped doing business with, and they couldnt find new ethical sources so they just decided to drop it than go unethical.

ElvinGearMaster Irma Nope, I clearly remember them outsourcing unethically from an African country which is why I stopped buying from them last year.

@@andaiibori7205 Huh well thats... Bad I hope they realised their mistake and changed, and not for monetary gain

back in the day... when people didn't know including mineral oils, perfumes and alcohol in skin care was bad. it is same with the clinique 3 step skin care or nivea creams etc

They were bought by loreal so lots of people stopped buying from them. They've been retaken over by a company with the original values so now it's happy to have them back

Until L'Oréal (Nestlé) bought them lol. Kinda destroyed it for me. (I know they are not owned by L'Oréal anymore) but if you are a brand like bodyshop and you are owned by Nestlé that's really making me think how ethical their products or ingredients really are.

@@Estonian4life are you faulting them for making products, while ethically sourced & groundbreaking at the time, but utilizing ingredients that were thought to be safe based upon the scientific information they had then? Unlike Clinique's formula, which hasn't changed at all, nor do I believe Nivea which both had major marketing powers. Oh & mineral oil? As long as it's sourced & filtered correctly, doesn't pose the threat at certain percentages per unit as previously reported. Think about it, in 20 years from now, scientists will probably prove our thoughts on more than several big ticket ingredients that we now have scientific knowledge of its capabilities. They're most likely to also provide proof in the future that a number of ingredients we now think are unsafe, to actually be beneficial. Once the earth was the center of the universe while being flat, as told by regarded minds at the time.

@@auroraserratore4778 that's why I don't use white chocolate, ever-it's literally butter, cream, sugar & the slightest hint of cocoa. Milk chocolate is hardly any better, if I ever go for sweets, it's dark chocolate. So many of their products aren't exactly...healthy.

Fr lol

Ik 😭😭 half the time he reviews company’s I’ve never even heard of them

Except it's stolen from a San Francisco business, not only that, The Body Shop is actually a MLM, aka pyramid scheme ,and a lots of unethical practice has been going on kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rZyJpL1pkpfZp58.html This channel is anti-mlm and Blair had done comprehensive research on this dirty business.

@Sassy Queen It's definitely a UK based brand.

@@livy6800 it is a UK company but they have stores in other countries

Amen!!!

ahhh yes!! or the body butters ♡♡

Plus shower gel and body butter ❤️

Best handcreams EVER

Do you mean Shea? If so you're right. My granddaughter gave me some and it's the best I've ever had. Is Body Shop still going?

Rosie Patey Thank you so much for your ginger conditioner! It’s really helped my hair :D

@@user-qe3wg5jm2n Also the ginger shampoo. They're the best!

you put shit in these cosmetics... so much toxins where do i start? ... quality of cheap dish washing liquid.

@@richardraoun6184 what are you talking about? Literally their products stopped my skin breaking out in a few days plus they don't contain many bad ingredients for your skin too. Plus who said you need to wash your face with dish soap? LMAO

m o o n s t a r. Which product you’re using for your breakouts if I may ask

100%!! Anita was an absolute badass and was pioneeing for the earth and social issues way before it was cool.

Definitely :)

yeah, in Canada too

@@sophie1182 The Body Shop are no longer owned by L'Oréal.

India too! I see body shops everywhere here and it’s pretty cool!

Im from India too ;) i remember when Lush opened I was so happy because I loved their stuff when I lived in the UK but you're right sadly the timing wasn't right. I'm sure they would do great now.

@@JKDS04 Absolutely. I think the major problem we face here is that since we come from the country of Ayurveda a lot of big companies just use that as a marketing gimmick while stuffing products with artificial fragrance and poor chemicals. The Indian consumer in unfortunately not very aware. But hopefully in the future that will change.

You guys dont shop from Nykaa? I'm glad that at least I get better exposure than before because in a tier 1 city, the amount of fake products in cosmetics is insane. But yes there are so many brands that I'd like more. Most Korean brands are not too good imo

@@cinnamongirl7623 I'm in Delhi and you don't get brands like the ordinary, CeraVe, Lush etc. Anywhere. And then you're absolutely correct if you buy from a store here that's not an official partner you don't know if it's orignal or not, even if it's orignal it's SO expensive. I've been scammed into purchasing Kylie lip kits and Huda beauty before that turned out to be fake, I was new to makeup and couldn't tell.

@@MrHakkatakka that's so true! So for the routine so far I only have the cleanser and moisturizer down. The 2% salicylic acid from neutrogena and cetaphil gentle cleanse, and the clinique 72 hr hydrator. These are my staples. I've been trying the Kaya niacinamide gel which just launched, i am pleasantly surprised at it. It's the only leave on active in my routine. But it does have fragrance in it. Everything we get has fragrance which frustrates me even more. Do you have any recommendations?

Oop👁👄👁

Bro same once I used tea tree oil skincare products it immediately got better

Yess the exact same thing happened to me, their tea tree products are the only thing that got rid of my acne

loll the opposite happened to me. I had the tea tree line from the body shop and it broke me out so badly and then I switched to Cerave and The Ordinary and my skin never looked better!! it really is different for everyone I guess :)

@@pelincintan403 Yeah 100% it varies for everyone!

Juli she’s amazing and all and I get that but didn’t she sell her company to L’Oréal?

Coca-Colette The body shop is no longer owned by L’Oréal.

Coca-Colette The brand belongs to Natura now. Natura is a huge Brazilian brand that shares the same values ​​as TBS.

Coca-Colette yes but i’m sure at the time she probably felt as though that from a business stand point it was a good idea. i recently started working at the body shop and my manager told me that after she passed away in 2007, that was when the body shop started to lose its roots. but over the past couple years it’s been getting back to what Anita wanted for the company and its even better now that Natura bought The Body Shop as one of the founders of Natura used to be friends with Anita and they have the same values so they’re focused on making sure the body shop gets back to its roots.

I worked for the body shop for 8 years not long after loreal took over from it's owner Anita who founded it . I was disappointed in the direction the body shop took . People loved the quirky nature of the body shop and it's lovely products .loreal took it over and changed it .made it more clinical .introduced way too many products and in my opinion wasted the brand .

Agreed my acne went away after I started the tea tree line.

It made mine worse😔

Same, it is my 'go to' skin care products

I have just got the whole collection of the tea tree skincare.. I’m happy so far although the day cream really dries out my skin, do you have oily skin? Maybe it’s not right for my dry skin

@@sophielagneau6768 same

Was she using the one _you_ used? It could be from bacteria on the product you used yourself. (it could be but I'm not sure) OR your mom has very sensitive skin.

No. We both bought the same products but used different bottles. My products were almost over and it worked for me so she wanted to try them out for herself and bought herself a new set. Unfortunately it didn't work at all. Her skin is hyper sensitive and tea tree products caused redness and itching and tiny bumps all over. Or she's probably just allergic.

Tea tree is amazing!

?? expensive really

@@sociopath2108 It is expensive in my country. Definitely not mid range at all.

EXACTLY. i swear i was using face wash from other brands and my skin still felt a bit textured/ rough or smooth for like 3 hours...but since i bought the vit E range omg...first use and then my skin felt supple and refreshed and it smoooth af. The annoying part is that i want all their ranges but for the vit e works with my skin...tip: dont use too much products from different ranges unless they compliment every need of your skin.

Juni Dey and smell nice 👀

Honestly! Love their products

Juni Dey yeeees

Cruelty free? Aren't they in China?

FairlyLovely at lush they acually use the recycled pots and make the baskets you use

You can bring your empty containers at lush.

@@Brenda-vi5es why am i picturing lush employees having an employee meeting but it's just "arts n crafts" to make baskets

FairlyLovely 😂

I like body shop better because their out-reach and "giving back" programs are A LOT more extensive..their community trade recycled plastic program is so bloody extensive...they are committed to using and reusing only recycled plastics collected and processed by people (women in particular) in impoverished states...child waste pickers now are managers at recycling centres..employing other people...one such former child waste picker turned manager is sending her daughter to Uni to learn Recycling engineering to further help recycling innovation..she wants her daughter to stay in the business...every single one of their core ingredients are associated with specific fairtrade companies and communities...women in ghana for the shea butter, women in Morrocco for the argan oil, people in kenya for tea tree, people in tibet and nepal for charcoal, women in ethiopia for honey etc etc...their ginger and other roots have been associated with the Teddy school since the 80s...they have other non business related outreach as well..like plan international (teaching girls about their rights and to build confidence in reporting crime against them and ensuring justice), building bio-bridges (saving various species habitats), anti-deforestation, education, menstrual pverty campaigns....Its just so good , transparent and extensive!

Wow. Another check mark for commitment

You get a discount in my country of you bring back your empty TBS product

Good news

perfect timing

I think it's cool that Hyram picked up on the similarities between them without even knowing that! Heres the lush full story if anyone's interested :) www.lushusa.com/stories/article_a-lush-legacy.html

Anna Marz so lush learned from the body shop?

Anna Marz As a former lush employee as well, I can confirm this. That’s why there’s so many similarities.

His top list has brands he likes that don't or products with very limited. E.g YTTB, krave, ordinary etc

well.. some (if not the majority of) people want fragrances in their skincare products.

@@erreb it's unfortunate that they do. i believe if people are educated about what fragrances have potential of doing they would either minimize or remove fragrant/essential oils products from their vanities.

Erreb13 why would someone want fragrances in their skin care though? I just don’t get it

Nicolé Fleur it’s easier to add later than to take away when it’s already in a product though 👩🏼‍🔬

Sophie Lambie Same!

I live in Canada and it's pretty big here. But it used to be a lot bigger, there are just so many companies these days. I think part of it is the market saturation, and maybe even an older target audience? But maybe it's just also different in the USA.

@@bananawammabama Interesting! I think you're probably right. They're more likely to focus of expanding in area where there's call for it. 😀

fizzilix its also big in Australia

Definitely lol. I remember going in with my mum as a kid and getting to smell the animal soaps

yes, please

I just commented this on one of his other videos, I'd like to see it!

He just did!

Just like skinsofly.com. They got amazing products with no nasty chemicals and their products are very effective for fading dark spots and treating acne. But you barely hear of them until you use their products

Can i ask, how was it??? 🙄

@@amsteichelmann its amazing for me i really like it

@@winter_tae7127 im ngl it made my skin breakouts and oily, i stopped using it. :( but everyone skin is different so could be just me. i tried using the seaweed line too the toner is okay, the cleanser was meh and the clay mask just made my skin extremely dry so idk. i have mixed feelings about the brand.

@@amsteichelmann I'm on my fifth jar!!! It's fabulous

@@amsteichelmann Third jar (night cream). It works wonders

Nice 👌

How did you work out what product's to use. I'm looking at they're product trying to work out what would be the best haha

Sinead Slaughter if you go into a body shop store they’d definitely be able to help! Or I think they have a help section on their website where they will provide the best products for your skin, I have oily skin so I use the seaweed, tea tree and Himalayan range :)

I was so scared when I saw this video but the only like I use is aloe so I was so excited

What line do u use?

Just wish they did more educational trips and lessons like that here in the U.K. schools, because at the moment, this is not the case☹

Wow noice

Thank you for sharing. I’ve been looking for one for my flaky scalp for so long. Definitely will give it a try.

I just turned the likes into 1.1k!!!

@@ttuly17 I tried the ginger shampoo and conditioner for flaky scalp. Absolutely amazing! Reduced my dandruff after 1 wash, and completely resolved my dandruff after 3 washes.

Same here! I get a very itchy scalp if I use any other shampoo for a long period of time

like the smell, but didn't help my itchy scalp whatsoever :/

It's the only shampoo I can use without getting an itchy scalp

yesss i had really bad dandruff and i used the ginger shampoo and conditioner and it got rid of it when i was halfway done with the bottles!!!

I sooo agree, it got rid of my flacky scalp. definitely worth the price though I wait for sale and stock up

@@vanyaarora1001 it's actually... Well they're now a pyramid scheme/MLM, and the company itself it's shady AF from the owner copied everything including name from a San Francisco business to FUCKED third country ppl ik their so called "charity" Many failed tests by US Authority, bacteria, mold, not even recalling their product

Sammeeee

it does have sodium laureth sulfates tho :(

Omg and the mask is amazing for my dry ass hair lol

That must have been a very rewarding job, especially having the pleasure of meeting & dining with her.

I used to work at The Body Shop in Canada as well, I left last year because I'm going to school. I completely agree that they've lost some of their level of ethics has dropped since starting out, like we were told that you used to be able to bring an empty body butter jar to the store and get a discount on a new jar and they would recycle the old jar for you but now if they get returns or someone brings brings back an empty jar or a product is expired they literally just toss it in the garbage. I worked in a store that was in a mall that took care of all of our trash for us so it might be different in other stores, but there is still a lot of product that ends up being wasted.

I worked at the Body Shop over 30 years ago and was so proud. The t-shirts we wore were activist and nature. We sold Yanomamo tribe bracelets to help protect them and the rainforest. I could go on. I recently started working there again and do feel a change but love what they stand for. I got to meet Anita - she did training for us as we were the first store in MN. It was an honor to meet her.

Yay!!

Honey we have multiple skin care lines that are made for all skin types. Search up Drops of Youth, Tea Tree, Vitamin E and and Vitamin C. As an employee there I here great reviews from my customers and coworkers with the skin care we provide. Most of our products are 100% vegan or vegetarian and we source our ingredients from around the world giving people work and helping their community with benefits and education as well.

I enjoy how consistent he is. :)

It is way cheaper your right i actually have most of these products on my dressing table

they are cheaper in the uk because they have to be shipped to the US which makes them more expensive

The cleanser is 1/3 of the price in America

I live in germany and ist is so much cheaper here too, but generally all over europe it’s so much cheaper than in the USA

Wooo!

i feel you

MsButterFlySting80 it just works :P my cheeks (but not the butt ones) always would get this crocodile skin and flakes and nothing ever worked (the temperature was like -15 oC). And this cream got rid of it in like two days of use.

@@z.kaminska130 that's not that cold compared to where I live, it's currently about 19°F, which is what, -7°C for you? I can see where it's tough on your skin, as I certainly get winter dryness too, the coldest I've been in was technically -80°F but with the windchill factor it was -85°F. More often the norm is between 32°F to -40°F where I'm at in Alaska. I'll have to check into that intense moisturizer though, thanks!

MsButterFlySting80 well I live in central europe, you can’t compare it with alaska :P

I love the vitamin e nourishing night cream. Cold ass winters here in Finland but nothing works as well as this.

Oohh I love the vitamin E spray and rose toner because they make my skin feel moisturized without being oily! My skin is very dry and any oily product sit on top and clogges my pores. I might have to try their moisturizer out then 🤔

Completely agree. I hate even walking past Lush, I’ve never stepped in the shop because the smell is so strong I can’t cope with it.

Lush makes me feel ill if I am in the store for more than a few minutes. There is no comparison between the body shop and lush. The body shop is far far superior.

The Ginger shampoo is an OG product from the original product range. All skincare products available now were either developed or reformulated by L'Oréal. The Ginger shampoo isn't exactly the same as it used to be, but still good.

Dina Sawlani The formula changed not too long ago, so instead of ginger root extract the new one has ginger essential oil. This gives a more concentrated and therapeutic feel to the product. The newer formula also has more fair trade honey than before, so the texture is thicker and more soothing for the scalp.
