Values are at the heart of everything we do at The Body Shop®. Whether sourcing ingredients using our pioneering Community Trade program, or taking steps to reduce our carbon footprint, our values drive us to create naturally-inspired beauty products and be better corporate citizens. Developed using the world's first fair trade aloe vera, our premium, preservative-free Aloe range supports the best of these efforts.
Naturally grown in Guatemala by our Community Trade Partner, The Guastatoya Farmers, it is hand-picked, hand washed and filleted within 12 hours of harvesting to ensure that its soothing natural qualities are maintained. So you can pamper your sensitive skin and your compassionate heart knowing that your purchase provides vital income to farmers in a country where half the population earns less than $1 per day.

Our Community Trade beeswax is sourced from the Adamaoua Region of Northern Cameroon, through an organization called Guide d'Espoir (Guide for Hope).

The moisturizing olive oil in our products comes from an area in Italy that has produced olives since the middle ages. The Nuovo Cilento Co-operative formed as a result of people abandoning the land to seek work elsewhere. In a remarkable story of success over adversity, the co-operative has gone from strength to strength, cutting out the middle man to sell their organically produced olive oil directly, maximizing their profit and so preserving their traditional way of life. Every product you buy containing Community Traded olive oil further helps the community and local environment.

Shea butter is one of nature's great moisturizers. Ghanaian women have used it for centuries to protect their skin from the dry Saharan winds. So who better to buy ours from than the Tungteiya Shea Butter Association, Northern Ghana. An association of around 400 women from 10 villages, we ensure a fair price for their product. Since trading with The Body Shop the women have been able to dramatically change their lives with water pipes and wells saving hours of water collecting, better housing, medical care, food, and self esteem. Importantly, they are also able to give their children, particularly their daughters, the chance to go to school.
