I stopped shopping at Body Shop when they were owned by L’oreal. Now they are owned differently, I have started letting the tween shop there again. I wish we could find a way to make animal testing and the use of plastics and harsh chemicals ruled out entirely. Sadly we are dancing to the tune of £ and China…

However Body Shop has recently been bought again by Natura (Brasil) International B.V. which does seem to have a better track record: From Wikipedia:

“Natura promotes its image as an eco-friendly,sustainable company (using natural products, working toward sustainable environment and social support etc.). The company also uses ordinary women rather than supermodels in its advertisements.”

In contrast L’Oreal uses various legal loopholes to still not completely ban animal testing from its products such as the China issue you write about.

Thank you so much for adding this post to #GoingGreen – it reminds me of one of the reasons I do not wear make-up!
