Anita Roddick, founder of the Body Shop, was an inspirational woman, and it's great to see her vision is alive in the products that are still being produced by the Body Shop.The latest, New Earth Lovers Shower Gels show no compromise for her passion for environmental issues.
Six fabulous fragrances to choose from, 100% biodegradable infused with goodness, featuring a blend of herb and fruit extracts to leave your skin naturally fragranced and super soft. The entire earth lovers™ range is made from a soap-free base, so it’s non-drying and suitable for sensitive skin.
No Sulphates – They avoide using common sulphate based surfactants and have instead used more natural foaming agents in the eco-conscious earth lovers™ shower gels to produce a delicate lather.
No colourants - By avoiding the inclusion of colour ingredients, you can see the actual colour of the shower gel.
No parabens – The Body Shop recognises that some shoppers want to choose paraben-free products, so it has developed this range without any parabens.
Earth lovers™ is the second product range launched by The Body Shop® to hold the new eco-conscious label. As the original, natural ethical beauty company, The Body Shop is passionate about its “Protect the Planet” core value
What does the eco-conscious symbol mean to me and the environment?
The eco-conscious symbol was first introduced in the Rainforest Hair Care range in 2010.
It is a promise that products carrying this symbol:
• Respect the aquatic environment so the fish in the sea are protected
• Are made from biodegradable formulas. This means the foaming agents readily break down in the environment as soon they are washed down the plughole
• Use a minimum of packaging waste, and are made of post-consumer recycled wherever possible.
Every product in the earth lovers™ shower gel range contains Community Fair Trade aloe from Guatemala. Aloe vera extract has long been used for its healing benefits and contains over 75 beneficial nutrients and 200 active compounds. It is used extensively for soothing burn treatments, stimulating new skin cell growth and as a natural skin balm.
Up to 15 farmers from the El Progreso state in Guatemala grow and harvest The Body Shop Community Fair Trade aloe vera. They grow it without the use of pesticides or fertilisers, then hand-harvest, hand-wash and hand-fillet it within 12 hours to preserve the freshness of the gel. Trading with The Body Shop provides an income for the farmers and directly benefits members of the community.
Make a positive splash on the environment and start your day the earth lovers way. Inject some fun into your daily life by showering with the new eco-conscious 100% biodegradable shower gel range from The Body Shop® - the earth will thank you, and so will your body!
