The Body Shop launched the first-ever Body Butter in 1992. Created in the kitchen of no less than The Body Shop Founder Dame Anita Roddick. The very first Mango Body Butter was given its name by her daughter who, while making a piece of toast, simply said “it’s like butter…for your body”. The rest, they say, is history.

Pure and Natural

Today, these iconic bod moisturizers are loved so much that one is sold every 3 seconds across the world. And these body-loving favorites just got even better. 

The new Body Butters are now registered by The Vegan Society (a gold standard for vegan certification), made with at least 95% ingredients of natural origin. These can love the skin with 96-hour moisture and come in their most sustainable packaging yet–made with 100% recycled plastic tubs.

The natural origin ingredients include the handcrafted shea butter from Ghana. It harnesses the nourishing power of Community Fair Trade shea butter from the Tungteiya Women’s Association in northern Ghana.

In true Fair Trade fashion, this helps provide financial independence for Ghanaian women. Today, over 600 women from 11 villages handcraft the shea butter using an 18-stage process of traditional techniques. And the most special part? The process is passed on from mother to daughter for generations.

The Body Shop Body Butter

Delivering 96 hours of intense moisture, their Body Butters leave your skin feeling soft and smooth without feeling sticky. In fact, in a The Body Shop study, over 90% of users agreed the formula easily melts into skin and has a non-sticky feel. Moreover, more than 86% agreed the Body Butters made them feel good in their skin.

With new fully recyclable packaging, these are The Body Shop’s most sustainable Body Butters ever. They’re all made with aluminum lids and 100% recycled plastic, including Community Fair Trade recycled plastic collected off the streets of Bengaluru, India. This is made possible through the Body Shop’s trade partnership with Plastics for Change.

Fair Trade

The Body Shop’s Community Fair Trade partnership with Plastics for Change not only helps tackle the existing plastic problem but helps support around 2,500 marginalized waste pickers in India. Now, they have access to more sanitary working conditions and a fair price for the plastic waste they collect.

Let’s not break the cycle. THE BODY SHOP is encouraging customers to join their Return, Recycle Repeat program in partnership with SM Cares. To be a part of the movement, simply return your Empty, Clean, and Dry containers to any of THE BODY SHOP stores located in the malls. They will handle the recycling for you.

The Body Shop, through their partnership with SM Cares’ Plastic Waste Collection Program, ensures that your participation helps prevent plastics from filling the oceans and adding to landfills. This is just the beginning of their plastic cycle and they will be sharing more. Follow their social media accounts to know more about THE BODY SHOP & SM Cares partnership.
