Hoover's coverage by Catherine Colbert

Overview

Promoting beauty in the customer's eye instead of the beholder's, The Body Shop International sells skin and hair care products so natural they sound edible (such as Coconut Milk Body Lotion and Banana Shampoo). The company combines activism with marketing, encouraging women to focus on self-esteem as well as social and environmental causes. The Body Shop operates more than 2,600 stores (the majority are franchised) in 50-plus countries. It also sells its products, such as its new Natrulift firming skincare line, online and through The Body Shop at Home, an in-home sales program in the UK. Founded in 1976 by Dame Anita Roddick, The Body Shop is owned by France's L'Oréal.
