A Sustainable Body-Loving Body Butter from The Body Shop

0Shares

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.

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.
