Read our privacy policy The Body Shop has been a UK high-street staple since 1976, stocking beauty buys at bargain prices while never scrimping on quality. From humble beginnings as a little green shop in Brighton, founder Anita Roddick grew the brand to gargantuan proportions before leaving it in the trusty hands of Natura & Co, the parent company behind some of the biggest beauty brands, such as Avon and Aesop. B-Corp certified, The Body Shop holds itself in high regard in everything it does, regularly putting up political protests such as its current #votesat16 campaign, and has taken a stance against anti-ageing marketing by rebranding one of its bestselling ranges to the incredibly exciting Edelweiss. So, rolling up our sleeves, we got our hands on the new make-up range just before it dropped, to see which bits really delivered and which not-so-new products we’re still picking up.
