The Body Shop, Island Bay

Its products aren’t cheap - but if you like your bath and beauty products smelling gorgeous, being ethically produced and not tested on animals, you’ve certainly come to the right place!

The Body Shop prides itself on supporting fair prices for growers in the Third World and helping communities support themselves. None of its products are tested on animals and for years it’s been a leader on the environment - long before it became trendy to reduce our carbon footprint.

For this reason, I would rather pay more for the lovely smelling products at the Body Shop than the cheaper but definitely nastier alternatives.

This branch does free gift wrapping at Xmas time. Sweet!
