I was in the Body Shop today looking for their cocoa butter and they told me they discontinued it because they couldn’t find an ethical source - very impressed!
@@andaiibori7205 Or they had formerly ethical sourcers that they stopped doing business with, and they couldnt find new ethical sources so they just decided to drop it than go unethical.
back in the day... when people didn't know including mineral oils, perfumes and alcohol in skin care was bad. it is same with the clinique 3 step skin care or nivea creams etc
They were bought by loreal so lots of people stopped buying from them. They've been retaken over by a company with the original values so now it's happy to have them back
Until L'Oréal (Nestlé) bought them lol. Kinda destroyed it for me. (I know they are not owned by L'Oréal anymore) but if you are a brand like bodyshop and you are owned by Nestlé that's really making me think how ethical their products or ingredients really are.
@@Estonian4life are you faulting them for making products, while ethically sourced & groundbreaking at the time, but utilizing ingredients that were thought to be safe based upon the scientific information they had then? Unlike Clinique's formula, which hasn't changed at all, nor do I believe Nivea which both had major marketing powers. Oh & mineral oil? As long as it's sourced & filtered correctly, doesn't pose the threat at certain percentages per unit as previously reported. Think about it, in 20 years from now, scientists will probably prove our thoughts on more than several big ticket ingredients that we now have scientific knowledge of its capabilities. They're most likely to also provide proof in the future that a number of ingredients we now think are unsafe, to actually be beneficial. Once the earth was the center of the universe while being flat, as told by regarded minds at the time.
@@auroraserratore4778 that's why I don't use white chocolate, ever-it's literally butter, cream, sugar & the slightest hint of cocoa. Milk chocolate is hardly any better, if I ever go for sweets, it's dark chocolate. So many of their products aren't exactly...healthy.
FUN FACT: the founder of the body shop is actually a women and i highly recommend looking into who she was and what she did (i think there might be a documentary about her) but her name is Anita Roddick and she was pretty badass. She was a human rights activist, feminist and environmental activist. And she would actually travel to the countries where they sourced their ingredients and meet the people. She was i think either the first or one of the first to bring Shea butter over to Europe and North America bc she found out about it when she first visited Ghana and found out about how the women there use it to nourish and protect their skin and hair. Now the people in Ghana who provide Shea for the body shop are either all or mostly women and are paid a fair price so that the women can become financially independent and are able to teach their traditional way of processing their shea to their daughters and future generations.
Coca-Colette yes but i’m sure at the time she probably felt as though that from a business stand point it was a good idea. i recently started working at the body shop and my manager told me that after she passed away in 2007, that was when the body shop started to lose its roots. but over the past couple years it’s been getting back to what Anita wanted for the company and its even better now that Natura bought The Body Shop as one of the founders of Natura used to be friends with Anita and they have the same values so they’re focused on making sure the body shop gets back to its roots.
I worked for the body shop for 8 years not long after loreal took over from it's owner Anita who founded it . I was disappointed in the direction the body shop took . People loved the quirky nature of the body shop and it's lovely products .loreal took it over and changed it .made it more clinical .introduced way too many products and in my opinion wasted the brand .
Except it's stolen from a San Francisco business, not only that, The Body Shop is actually a MLM, aka pyramid scheme ,and a lots of unethical practice has been going on ruclips.net/video/w6YqZ8-1uwk/видео.html This channel is anti-mlm and Blair had done comprehensive research on this dirty business.
@@richardraoun6184 what are you talking about? Literally their products stopped my skin breaking out in a few days plus they don't contain many bad ingredients for your skin too. Plus who said you need to wash your face with dish soap? LMAO
I have just got the whole collection of the tea tree skincare.. I’m happy so far although the day cream really dries out my skin, do you have oily skin? Maybe it’s not right for my dry skin
One of my favorite things about the body shop was when I was an employee I was given the option to add any amount from each paycheck to a charity from women’s rights, sex trafficking etc. seriously one of the best company to work for!
So the companies make employees and customers do the donation so they themselves don’t have to give much amount of THEIR profits in more tax as they are donating :)
ive always preferred the body shop over lush! i like how lush doesn't use that much plastic, but the body shop also has a really good recycling program if you bring back your empty containers.
I like body shop better because their out-reach and "giving back" programs are A LOT more extensive..their community trade recycled plastic program is so bloody extensive...they are committed to using and reusing only recycled plastics collected and processed by people (women in particular) in impoverished states...child waste pickers now are managers at recycling centres..employing other people...one such former child waste picker turned manager is sending her daughter to Uni to learn Recycling engineering to further help recycling innovation..she wants her daughter to stay in the business...every single one of their core ingredients are associated with specific fairtrade companies and communities...women in ghana for the shea butter, women in Morrocco for the argan oil, people in kenya for tea tree, people in tibet and nepal for charcoal, women in ethiopia for honey etc etc...their ginger and other roots have been associated with the Teddy school since the 80s...they have other non business related outreach as well..like plan international (teaching girls about their rights and to build confidence in reporting crime against them and ensuring justice), building bio-bridges (saving various species habitats), anti-deforestation, education, menstrual pverty campaigns....Its just so good , transparent and extensive!
I used Cerave, Cetaphil, LRP, The Ordinary and they all broke me out so bad and left me with scars. Switched back to my old Body Shop products and my skin is much better.
loll the opposite happened to me. I had the tea tree line from the body shop and it broke me out so badly and then I switched to Cerave and The Ordinary and my skin never looked better!! it really is different for everyone I guess :)
I think it's cool that Hyram picked up on the similarities between them without even knowing that! Heres the lush full story if anyone's interested :) www.lushusa.com/stories/article_a-lush-legacy.html
It's strange as a Brit to watch this because Body Shop is such a staple in the British high street. It's so interesting to see how the company is viewed in the states. X great video hun x
I live in Canada and it's pretty big here. But it used to be a lot bigger, there are just so many companies these days. I think part of it is the market saturation, and maybe even an older target audience? But maybe it's just also different in the USA.
@@erreb it's unfortunate that they do. i believe if people are educated about what fragrances have potential of doing they would either minimize or remove fragrant/essential oils products from their vanities.
I'm from India, and we have a body shop in every mall, every market in the metropolitan cities. Lush came to India sometime back but they left within a year, apparently they didn't do too well. This was 6 years or so ago. However I think Lush would do super well here now, the timing was just not right. I know no one cares I have no idea why I even wrote this comment.
Im from India too ;) i remember when Lush opened I was so happy because I loved their stuff when I lived in the UK but you're right sadly the timing wasn't right. I'm sure they would do great now.
@@JKDS04 Absolutely. I think the major problem we face here is that since we come from the country of Ayurveda a lot of big companies just use that as a marketing gimmick while stuffing products with artificial fragrance and poor chemicals. The Indian consumer in unfortunately not very aware. But hopefully in the future that will change.
You guys dont shop from Nykaa? I'm glad that at least I get better exposure than before because in a tier 1 city, the amount of fake products in cosmetics is insane. But yes there are so many brands that I'd like more. Most Korean brands are not too good imo
@@cinnamongirl7623 I'm in Delhi and you don't get brands like the ordinary, CeraVe, Lush etc. Anywhere. And then you're absolutely correct if you buy from a store here that's not an official partner you don't know if it's orignal or not, even if it's orignal it's SO expensive. I've been scammed into purchasing Kylie lip kits and Huda beauty before that turned out to be fake, I was new to makeup and couldn't tell.
@@MrHakkatakka that's so true! So for the routine so far I only have the cleanser and moisturizer down. The 2% salicylic acid from neutrogena and cetaphil gentle cleanse, and the clinique 72 hr hydrator. These are my staples. I've been trying the Kaya niacinamide gel which just launched, i am pleasantly surprised at it. It's the only leave on active in my routine. But it does have fragrance in it. Everything we get has fragrance which frustrates me even more. Do you have any recommendations?
Im impressed by how much theyre not ‘bragging’ it. Like usually brands like this are like ‘look. look at me! look!’ (Which is fine, and an easy way to find it tho) but this gives me like an ‘im doing good because its good’ vibe over a ‘im doing good because its hip’ vibe
Just like skinsofly.com. They got amazing products with no nasty chemicals and their products are very effective for fading dark spots and treating acne. But you barely hear of them until you use their products
The ginger shampoo COMPLETELY got rid of my awful dandruff that I’d had for years- it took a bottle to fully change my hair but I can’t go back. It also smells soooo much better than other dandruff shampoos
I like the body shop because they are cruelty free, owned/designed by a woman who is/was an activist, they are ethical/fair trade, work on helping other donating to companies and they are vegetarian/vegan, their products also work really well (at least for me) my local store is currently donating to an organization focussing on women's health
I remember when I was young - my school did a trip to the body shop factory in U.K. and I bought the tea tree oil for spots. I’m pretty sure I was only ten and I didn’t have any spots so couldn’t use it. But I remember them telling us back then what they were doing around the world to stop animal cruelty etc. I don’t know why I’m commenting on that, I just thought it was nice they reached out to schools knowing that those 10 year old girls will be the future cosmetics and skincare users and tried instilling ethical standards young. Looking back that is genius and I really hope they are still doing this!
@@ttuly17 I tried the ginger shampoo and conditioner for flaky scalp. Absolutely amazing! Reduced my dandruff after 1 wash, and completely resolved my dandruff after 3 washes.
The tea tree line in body shop literally saved my skin. It's ridiculously expensive but my oily skin is under control, I have less acne and my skin just overall looks healthier and feels cleaner. That being said, it's not for everyone. My mom broke out like crazy after using the SAME products I used so...yeah. not for everyone.
Was she using the one _you_ used? It could be from bacteria on the product you used yourself. (it could be but I'm not sure) OR your mom has very sensitive skin.
No. We both bought the same products but used different bottles. My products were almost over and it worked for me so she wanted to try them out for herself and bought herself a new set. Unfortunately it didn't work at all. Her skin is hyper sensitive and tea tree products caused redness and itching and tiny bumps all over. Or she's probably just allergic.
you don't have to give it up !!! until & unless you have sensitive skin & can't tolerate fragnance , the body shop is an amazing skincare line which actually shows resultss .. so don't worry !! even all my products are from tbs :)
@@vanyaarora1001 it's actually... Well they're now a pyramid scheme/MLM, and the company itself it's shady AF from the owner copied everything including name from a San Francisco business to FUCKED third country ppl ik their so called "charity" Many failed tests by US Authority, bacteria, mold, not even recalling their product
I'm a hairstylist, and i'm SUPER analytical and picky when it comes to haircare. That said, the body shop banana shampoo and banana conditioner are some of the best I have EVER used.
When you earn points in the body shop, you earn a £5 reward and you can choose to spend that in store or you can chose a charity and donate it - I think that’s such a lovely idea
I've been using their Seaweed line for the last 6 months or so. I thought I would need their tea tree line but the employees helped me figure out that I have more combination skin versus oily skin and it has been a revalation for me. I also love that when they run out of a product due to a sustainability issues, they keep it off until they can safely make more. They also constantly offer coupons and discounts to make things even more affordable so I will continue to support this brand.
Sinead Slaughter if you go into a body shop store they’d definitely be able to help! Or I think they have a help section on their website where they will provide the best products for your skin, I have oily skin so I use the seaweed, tea tree and Himalayan range :)
Their drop of youth or whatever that line is called has literally transformed my skin. Reduced acne, dry patches/dehydrated skin, and reduced fine lines too. I love their products.
I’ve been trying to use this for my acne but it won’t go away and I’m so sad, but I do believe I have hormonal acne so I need medication - however it has worked AMAZING on my dry skin AND dry lips!! Yes I used it on my dry lips to exfoliate and yes it worked and no I probably shouldn’t do it but it’s amazing!!
I worked for the Body Shop 35 years ago in Canada. I even dined with Anita Roddick, the company founder-she wore a Mickey Mouse faux-fur coat and I worshipped her. Lol Some of the products have lost their “natural” feel as the company expanded. Some of my favorite products were phased out completely, probably because they didn’t appeal to a mass market looking for great-smelling products. But the company has never lost its ethical focus. Anita was doing fair trade and ethically sourcing 35 years ago-before it was “a thing”. And recycling and reusing bottles was novel back then but still available today. Appreciate your positive review, and respect your concerns about fragrance and EOs. As always, a great video.
I used to work at The Body Shop in Canada as well, I left last year because I'm going to school. I completely agree that they've lost some of their level of ethics has dropped since starting out, like we were told that you used to be able to bring an empty body butter jar to the store and get a discount on a new jar and they would recycle the old jar for you but now if they get returns or someone brings brings back an empty jar or a product is expired they literally just toss it in the garbage. I worked in a store that was in a mall that took care of all of our trash for us so it might be different in other stores, but there is still a lot of product that ends up being wasted.
I worked at the Body Shop over 30 years ago and was so proud. The t-shirts we wore were activist and nature. We sold Yanomamo tribe bracelets to help protect them and the rainforest. I could go on. I recently started working there again and do feel a change but love what they stand for. I got to meet Anita - she did training for us as we were the first store in MN. It was an honor to meet her.
As for someone like me who recently followed Hyram on RUclips, I cannot help but to feel how extremely passionate, knowledgeable and honest he is when delivering his unbias opinions. He is not being afraid of what the general public would think about it. In reality, a lot of us are still struggling to find the best skin care products suitable for our skin. He made it easy for us to access information by creating videos of the skin care products he used. Keep doing you Hyram! Who knows, you might just hit a jackpot and score yourself a huge deal to create your very own skin care products!
@@rubymcneil5693 true I've been having this dry and flaky scalp for so long I discovered they have shampoo and conditioner meant for my scalp condition I try it and it work beyond my expectation
As a super dry-skinned individual, have to say I absolutely love the Body Shop body butters.Yes, they have fragrance, but my legs are a lot less sensitive to that than my face is, and they do get dry enough to shed flakes in the winter. The body butters from the Body Shop not only stop the shedding, the skin on my legs feels completely moisturized and healthy as long as I use these... thankfully! I WANT to support this company!
I’ve spent a good year trying to find a brand where I can buy all my cosmetics that is totally ethical on all levels and works... I finally settled on body shop and then I read your title and thought. ‘Are you fkn kidding me what’s wrong with it now’😂 thank goodness i watched it and now I feel even happier to be using them!
@@winter_tae7127 im ngl it made my skin breakouts and oily, i stopped using it. :( but everyone skin is different so could be just me. i tried using the seaweed line too the toner is okay, the cleanser was meh and the clay mask just made my skin extremely dry so idk. i have mixed feelings about the brand.
Outstandingly researched, exemplary content. There was once upon a time I used to shop a lot from The Body Shop but in this millennium, I'd become bored with The Body Shop 'cause it's been around so long their outlets almost doesn't register when I pass one. I learnt so much from you presentation, thank you for taking the time and obvious care in preparing and professionally presenting this feature about The Body Shop.
I’m 14 years old and I have really oily skin. I started to break out and my mum recommended the tea tree products. I couldn’t afford anything but my step dad came home with basically all the leftovers from a sale! We couldn’t find any tea tree in there so my mum surprised me with every tea tree products:D I am so so so so grateful for my family.❤️
Sirius Black hey! Obviously not a skincare god BUT I have really oily skin the seaweed line really helped me 💕 I would definitely recommend as I’ve noticed a difference in my skin in a short amount of time !!
hi babe!there are many many amazing but affordable skin care products that i personally use and done wonders to my skin,face cleanser:cetaphil gentle cleanser thayers toner(i swear by this i LOVE IT) the ordinary niacinamide+zinc(i mean this is the best and its pretty cheap!but not cheaply made lol)
Hey! When I was around your age my skin was super oily too. Literally would come home from school and my face looked WET. Anyways, after a few years, my skin got less oily. It’s still on the oily side now but much more manageable so maybe you’ll grow out of it!
Anita Roddick is literally crying. I have strong opinions about what her children did to the company she founded after she passed. I loved working for TBS💚
I love the hand creams and body butters but for me the tea tree oil line didnt work. It broke me out terribly when I was 16 and I had to get acne cream from the doctor and still have scarring to this day. I'm testing out different products now. Currently trying out cerave.
I was so confused because I thought The Body Shop was owned by L’Oreal but apparently I am way behind on the times because they were bought out a few years ago and are now owned by the entirely cruelty free Natura (for anyone as confused as me!) so will definitely be going back to trying some of their products!
EXACTLY. i swear i was using face wash from other brands and my skin still felt a bit textured/ rough or smooth for like 3 hours...but since i bought the vit E range omg...first use and then my skin felt supple and refreshed and it smoooth af. The annoying part is that i want all their ranges but for the vit e works with my skin...tip: dont use too much products from different ranges unless they compliment every need of your skin.
MsButterFlySting80 it just works :P my cheeks (but not the butt ones) always would get this crocodile skin and flakes and nothing ever worked (the temperature was like -15 oC). And this cream got rid of it in like two days of use.
@@z.kaminska130 that's not that cold compared to where I live, it's currently about 19°F, which is what, -7°C for you? I can see where it's tough on your skin, as I certainly get winter dryness too, the coldest I've been in was technically -80°F but with the windchill factor it was -85°F. More often the norm is between 32°F to -40°F where I'm at in Alaska. I'll have to check into that intense moisturizer though, thanks!
Oohh I love the vitamin E spray and rose toner because they make my skin feel moisturized without being oily! My skin is very dry and any oily product sit on top and clogges my pores. I might have to try their moisturizer out then 🤔
The Body Shop was bought by a Brazilian brand called Natura, the idea behind their website is the same as the Natura, which is AMAZING! Very transparent and thoughtful to the client. Also, we must not forget the ethically responsible business. 🥰🥰
When I think of The Body Shop I think of their delicious smelling hand creams and body butters, but I hope they come out with more fragrance free lines
The OG body lotion was fragrance free. One could add a fragrance oil of one's choice in store. All bottles were refillable and recyclable, and they also had half a liter bottles. Most of you are too young to have experienced the original Body Shop as run by the Roddick family. Most TBS diehards were aghast and disappointed when they sold out; it went against all that TBS stood for.
But she copied the products from the owner of lush, illuminaughty did a brilliant video deep dive into it. Sadly after watching that it threw a bucket of water all over my burning love for the body shop so be careful x
@@Hyram oh please oh pretty please with feathery big googoo eyes flirtatiously blinking, please don't stop! Yeaaaaah, that was a bit much. Just Be You.
Currently on my break at work watching this. Hyram you honestly have saved my skin. Thank you for your videos, they have helped me so much and made me realise just how important it is to look after my skin for the long run. My skin has been flourishing since subscribing to your channel. Keep on doing what you’re doing because you’re amazing at it! ❤️love from Australia
Adriana Zuccara hey! I’ve been using a lot of The Ordinary skincare products throughout this whole year and its honestly worked wonders for me. I have combination + oily skin and I also have acne prone skin but that doesn’t seem to really be the case anymore After following this regimen throughout the year. this has been my AM and PM regimen for the year: AM 1. Cleanse with neutrogena oil free acne wash (salicylic acid 2%) 2. Under eyes - The ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG 3. The ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 4.

Moisturise with neutrogena’s oil-free moisturiser Im officially a hoe for The ordinary Hope this helps!
I’ve been using the tea tree toner for TEN YEARS and it’s the only product Ive tried to this day that prevents me from getting loads of tiny little spots... I have hormonal acne too and it reduces my cyst type spots to two or three a month rather than two or three new ones a day 😬 I can swap anything else out but as soon as I remove that toner, my skin HATES me 🤪 Edit: but thank you so much. I learned a lot!
for all those wondering tea tree oil does work! i bought a bottle at the drug store and i put at least 8-10 drops in a small medicine cup with lukewarm water to dilute it cause it can cause ur skin to become very dry if u don’t dilute it and then i just use my clean fingers to dip and apply it on to my face and i saw instant results in just 2 weeks!! my acne is 90% gone highly recommend!
Also, interesting fact, a worker in body shop told me when it was owned by L'Oréal (isn't anymore) it spent loads on inventing a substitute 'human' skin so that no animals ever need to be tested on again 🐇🐰
I was so nervous for this video because The Body Shop is my Nr. 1 self-care indulgence brand. Mainly for body care, as in Body wash, body lotions etc and I already expected you to be critical of their fragrance heavy products, but I still. I'm so happy your verdict is so positive 😊
Lush makes me feel ill if I am in the store for more than a few minutes. There is no comparison between the body shop and lush. The body shop is far far superior.
i dont really care for most body shop products for my skin, HOWEVER their ginger shampoo and conditioner absolutely changed my life. it literally fixed my flaky scalp and controlled my oily hair.
The Ginger shampoo is an OG product from the original product range. All skincare products available now were either developed or reformulated by L'Oréal. The Ginger shampoo isn't exactly the same as it used to be, but still good.
Dina Sawlani The formula changed not too long ago, so instead of ginger root extract the new one has ginger essential oil. This gives a more concentrated and therapeutic feel to the product. The newer formula also has more fair trade honey than before, so the texture is thicker and more soothing for the scalp.
I am a loyal customer of The Body Shop--I have the rewards card--and I loved this video! Since I am from South America, I especially love that they source several of their ingredients from the Amazon. It makes me feel close to home, even though I am miles away. Thank you for your research and for sharing it! 😍❤
I’m a Body shop consultant so I sell body shop products. I am so happy to be working for a brand that is cruelty free & vegetarian. As a vegetarian this is really important to me. Glad you like it
I have just bought vitamin e night nourshing cream it was seem to be full jar.. But after two days i felt the jar was half empty they just filled it to decieve us..kindly tell is it fake or not? Or the jar is half filled
last year i was a swim teacher and the chlorine was dryyyying out my skin. my boyfriend got me the aloe face moisturizer for Christmas and i absolutely love it!! my skin is so sensitive but this moisturizer doesn't react with my skin and makes my skin feel amazing!!
I have been using the entire vitamin e series for two years and my skin has never looked better. I don’t have acne anymore and my skin is no longer dry. I don’t have sensitive skin though so the fragrance doesn’t bother me. You have to use products that works with your skin so just because the vitamin e series works on me doesn’t mean they will work on u. My thoughts about it :)
I love the aloe line, I have allergies, my face is extremely sensitve, roseca ridden, and dry. The aloe line saved me when perscriptions and dermatologist couldn’t. The cream cleanser is my favorite, if you are a big makeup wearer it may not be the best, but I find it cleans off my average amount of makeup and mascara well with some gentle circular motions and care. I have never been a toner lover, but I don’t want to live without their aloe toner anymore, when ever I have redness, spots, or allergic reactions on my face it calms and soothes them immeditley. The cleanser and toner are my favoirte. I would say the moisturizers are okay, there is a nightime and a daytime mositurizer, they both have a similar consistency and are probably better for normal skin types, they aren’t always enough for my dry skin. Overall the mositurizers are good but I think they are even better for dry skin when paired with a creamier mositurzer like vani cream which is very gentle. My final notes, as someone with allergies, sensitive skin and all that nonsense, the cleanser and toner are things I don’t want to give up, the mosituizers are good if you need take your skin care to the bare minimum, but in the long run I dont think they offer enough to protect and repair your skin barrier. If you are on the fence and really stuggling I think its worth the money, specifically with the cream cleanser and toner I have tried tons of gentle face cleansers and have yet to find something that is truely as gentle as those two products.
I absolute loved it, I had the whole tea tree line, and then I started taking accutane and my face burned like hell, and I looked like I had a sunburn, so defs not right for sensitive skin-also drys your face out, but for oily skin its amazing
I've been using the Aloe day cream for a few years now, I used to have SEVERE acne but it works really well with all my topical prescriptions and my skin has cleared up 😄😄✨💫
Helena Jordan Same!! The seaweed gel cream was awesome in the summer but now I prefer the aloe moisturizer in the winter. My skin has been insane this past year and it’s the only moisturizer that doesn’t break me out!
I live in the UK, and am from the town that the Body Shop was made. I go past the HQ everyday to get to school, my Mum works there and I’ve always loved their products! All our makeup and skincare is from there and works wonders!
Kyriaki ii Hey , it’s a holy grail if you have sensitive skin , I highly recommend buying it !! My friend who’s always had serious skin isssues with a sensitive skin is hooked up to this moisturiser and I can’t stress how much it has helped him !! Hope this helps :)
The tea tree oil helped me get rid of my acnel/fungal acne and my acne scars in two weeks its an amazing product definitely recommend for people who are having a hard time trying to find products that actually works
@@prathyushareddy3997 The bottle has a plastic stopper that allows a few drops to come out when you tip it. Just apply those drops directly on your skin. You could also pour the drops on a cotton bud and dab it on your face, like applying toner with a cotton pad, but there's going to be some wastage.
@@AAH1996 it’s not really recommended for dry skin, but if you only apply it as like a spot treatment it should be fine. i have combination skin and it works for me :)
when i tried their vitamin E cleanser my cheeks got red itchy spots and was super sensitive and hot for days, only after using it two times. I used their aloe foam cleanser the next day, and it really did calm my skin. I bought this when i didn't know foam cleansers weren't recommended, but this one really worked for me, both during winter and throughout the summer. Their aloe rescue mask is also pretty good! i tend to get spots of flaky skin in the winter, and this mask moisturises so much that the spots are gone overnight! i recommend this one for very dry skin, not necessarily as a daily night moisturiser, but maybe a few times a week in drying periods.
Mira Kumari Das It worked really well on my skin! I have combination but also really sensitive skin and it stung just a little but it cleared my skin!. I used the cleanser, toner and moisturiser - the moisturiser imo smelt really good and made my skin so soft, it’s a shame the products don’t work as well on my skin anymore.
i have the most sensitive skin ever. literally almost every skincare product causes me to breakout in hives all over. the body shop is the only shop which i can use any product that doesn’t cause these hives and improved my skin. i love their shampoos, body butters, lip balms, and sprays
I was so happy when you said that the aloe line was fragrance free because I was looking at buying the aloe eye and lip cream! super happy that it’s hyram approved :)
I've been à massive fan since I was literally a kid. My favourite products are definetly... Banana hair care line The grape seed hair sirum is absolutely amazing Body butters The make up is not my favourite from here but not the worst. Theyve always been forward thinking about the world and its products.
I have really dry, sensitive skin and I always love a good fairtrade, sustainable brand who care about their impact on the planet. I love bodyshop's aloe line, the shea hair line, and the satsuma body mist.
I love watching Hyram talk about skin but most products he says are either just okay or terrible are sold in my country 😪 everything else has to be ordered online and the shipping costs are just 😖😫 that being said, I now know to look at the ingredients list of all products! Which has saved me soooooooo much coin❤ and my skin? IMPROVED! We have a Body Shop branch here too and I have fallen absolutely in love❤
Glad to hear this!! My skin is pretty good apart from the “fungal acne” around my chin, but I just got the seaweed moisturizer for the first time and i really like it!!! Was thinking of getting the facial wash!
I always fancied their products , but now I am proud of buying and I will try to get all my stuff from them as much as I can cause the work they do is one of the most important work you can do in this world we live in! Im studying to be a herbologist and an esthetician and my passion is to make skincare. I feel like they showed me what is possible and what kind of a skincare company I should build and really want to collaborate with them in the future and set the world on the right track. I feel like I found my purpose to help the world heal and do what I love the most in one job! Thank you Hyram!
I’m 43 and love the body shop in late 80/90s every Saturday when me and friends would go to town the shop would be packed! I always asked for body shop stuff for Christmas and birthdays. I miss some products that don’t exist anymore but still love it.
I was going to body shop only for their smells! Absolutely love how their products smell, but I wouldn't put anything like that on my face of course! I love their hand creams, nut smells are lovely and also my hands say thank you each time I put it on. I will definitely try this fragrance free line for the face! Thank you for sharing this info!
Honey we have multiple skin care lines that are made for all skin types. Search up Drops of Youth, Tea Tree, Vitamin E and and Vitamin C. As an employee there I here great reviews from my customers and coworkers with the skin care we provide. Most of our products are 100% vegan or vegetarian and we source our ingredients from around the world giving people work and helping their community with benefits and education as well.
They're shit because they do animal testing. I've been a huge fan of yves rocher but since i've found out they test on animals I'm not using their products anymore.
boomerdoomer Hi! Where did you found that info? On their website (in Belgium at least) it’s stated that they do not do animal testings.. if they do, I would like to know as this is important to me..
I love their Tea Tree Oil face wash. It’s helped my acne a lot and I love how moisturized and clean my face feels after I get done washing my face with it
I was in the Body Shop today looking for their cocoa butter and they told me they discontinued it because they couldn’t find an ethical source - very impressed!
I’ll support this brand forever
So they weren’t ethical the entire time before...🤔
@@andaiibori7205 Or they had formerly ethical sourcers that they stopped doing business with, and they couldnt find new ethical sources so they just decided to drop it than go unethical.
ElvinGearMaster Irma Nope, I clearly remember them outsourcing unethically from an African country which is why I stopped buying from them last year.
@@andaiibori7205 Huh well thats... Bad
I hope they realised their mistake and changed, and not for monetary gain
I know you’re young but The Body Shop was was huge in the 80s and 90s and they were always socially conscious. Back before it was a trend.
back in the day... when people didn't know including mineral oils, perfumes and alcohol in skin care was bad. it is same with the clinique 3 step skin care or nivea creams etc
They were bought by loreal so lots of people stopped buying from them. They've been retaken over by a company with the original values so now it's happy to have them back
Until L'Oréal (Nestlé) bought them lol. Kinda destroyed it for me. (I know they are not owned by L'Oréal anymore) but if you are a brand like bodyshop and you are owned by Nestlé that's really making me think how ethical their products or ingredients really are.
@@Estonian4life are you faulting them for making products, while ethically sourced & groundbreaking at the time, but utilizing ingredients that were thought to be safe based upon the scientific information they had then? Unlike Clinique's formula, which hasn't changed at all, nor do I believe Nivea which both had major marketing powers. Oh & mineral oil? As long as it's sourced & filtered correctly, doesn't pose the threat at certain percentages per unit as previously reported.
Think about it, in 20 years from now, scientists will probably prove our thoughts on more than several big ticket ingredients that we now have scientific knowledge of its capabilities. They're most likely to also provide proof in the future that a number of ingredients we now think are unsafe, to actually be beneficial.
Once the earth was the center of the universe while being flat, as told by regarded minds at the time.
@@auroraserratore4778 that's why I don't use white chocolate, ever-it's literally butter, cream, sugar & the slightest hint of cocoa. Milk chocolate is hardly any better, if I ever go for sweets, it's dark chocolate. So many of their products aren't exactly...healthy.
FUN FACT: the founder of the body shop is actually a women and i highly recommend looking into who she was and what she did (i think there might be a documentary about her) but her name is Anita Roddick and she was pretty badass. She was a human rights activist, feminist and environmental activist. And she would actually travel to the countries where they sourced their ingredients and meet the people. She was i think either the first or one of the first to bring Shea butter over to Europe and North America bc she found out about it when she first visited Ghana and found out about how the women there use it to nourish and protect their skin and hair. Now the people in Ghana who provide Shea for the body shop are either all or mostly women and are paid a fair price so that the women can become financially independent and are able to teach their traditional way of processing their shea to their daughters and future generations.
Juli she’s amazing and all and I get that but didn’t she sell her company to L’Oréal?
Coca-Colette The body shop is no longer owned by L’Oréal.
Coca-Colette The brand belongs to Natura now. Natura is a huge Brazilian brand that shares the same values as TBS.
Coca-Colette yes but i’m sure at the time she probably felt as though that from a business stand point it was a good idea. i recently started working at the body shop and my manager told me that after she passed away in 2007, that was when the body shop started to lose its roots. but over the past couple years it’s been getting back to what Anita wanted for the company and its even better now that Natura bought The Body Shop as one of the founders of Natura used to be friends with Anita and they have the same values so they’re focused on making sure the body shop gets back to its roots.
I worked for the body shop for 8 years not long after loreal took over from it's owner Anita who founded it . I was disappointed in the direction the body shop took . People loved the quirky nature of the body shop and it's lovely products .loreal took it over and changed it .made it more clinical .introduced way too many products and in my opinion wasted the brand .
me sitting here being finally happy he’s talking about UK based companies
Fr lol
Ik 😭😭 half the time he reviews company’s I’ve never even heard of them
Except it's stolen from a San Francisco business, not only that, The Body Shop is actually a MLM, aka pyramid scheme ,and a lots of unethical practice has been going on ruclips.net/video/w6YqZ8-1uwk/видео.html
This channel is anti-mlm and Blair had done comprehensive research on this dirty business.
@Sassy Queen It's definitely a UK based brand.
@@livy6800 it is a UK company but they have stores in other countries
I work for the Bodyshop... I'm telling you all now, we are CRUELTY FREE, our products are NOT tested on animals :) thank you x
Rosie Patey Thank you so much for your ginger conditioner! It’s really helped my hair :D

you put shit in these cosmetics... so much toxins where do i start? ... quality of cheap dish washing liquid.
@@richardraoun6184 what are you talking about? Literally their products stopped my skin breaking out in a few days plus they don't contain many bad ingredients for your skin too. Plus who said you need to wash your face with dish soap? LMAO
m o o n s t a r. Which product you’re using for your breakouts if I may ask
In the UK I feel like the body shop was doing ethical before it was cool.
100%!! Anita was an absolute badass and was pioneeing for the earth and social issues way before it was cool.
Definitely :)
yeah, in Canada too
@@sophie1182 The Body Shop are no longer owned by L'Oréal.

The tea tree range cleared my skin of acne after being on SO many medications from the doctors for 5 years - will forever rate the body shop highly
Agreed my acne went away after I started the tea tree line.
It made mine worse😔
Same, it is my 'go to' skin care products
I have just got the whole collection of the tea tree skincare.. I’m happy so far although the day cream really dries out my skin, do you have oily skin? Maybe it’s not right for my dry skin

It’s the best feeling when you get a Body Shop hand cream as a gift.
Amen!!!
ahhh yes!! or the body butters ♡♡
Plus shower gel and body butter ❤️
Best handcreams EVER
Do you mean Shea? If so you're right. My granddaughter gave me some and it's the best I've ever had. Is Body Shop still going?
One of my favorite things about the body shop was when I was an employee I was given the option to add any amount from each paycheck to a charity from women’s rights, sex trafficking etc. seriously one of the best company to work for!
Lol that’s your paycheck
I get to do the same thing from primark
So the companies make employees and customers do the donation so they themselves don’t have to give much amount of THEIR profits in more tax as they are donating :)
Rushita Dave no.... it’s an option... you can decide if you want to or not. They donate and do their own good. Get your head out of your Burt
Fantastic!
ive always preferred the body shop over lush! i like how lush doesn't use that much plastic, but the body shop also has a really good recycling program if you bring back your empty containers.
FairlyLovely at lush they acually use the recycled pots and make the baskets you use
You can bring your empty containers at lush.
@@Brenda-vi5es why am i picturing lush employees having an employee meeting but it's just "arts n crafts" to make baskets
FairlyLovely 😂
I like body shop better because their out-reach and "giving back" programs are A LOT more extensive..their community trade recycled plastic program is so bloody extensive...they are committed to using and reusing only recycled plastics collected and processed by people (women in particular) in impoverished states...child waste pickers now are managers at recycling centres..employing other people...one such former child waste picker turned manager is sending her daughter to Uni to learn Recycling engineering to further help recycling innovation..she wants her daughter to stay in the business...every single one of their core ingredients are associated with specific fairtrade companies and communities...women in ghana for the shea butter, women in Morrocco for the argan oil, people in kenya for tea tree, people in tibet and nepal for charcoal, women in ethiopia for honey etc etc...their ginger and other roots have been associated with the Teddy school since the 80s...they have other non business related outreach as well..like plan international (teaching girls about their rights and to build confidence in reporting crime against them and ensuring justice), building bio-bridges (saving various species habitats), anti-deforestation, education, menstrual pverty campaigns....Its just so good , transparent and extensive!
I used Cerave, Cetaphil, LRP, The Ordinary and they all broke me out so bad and left me with scars. Switched back to my old Body Shop products and my skin is much better.
Oop👁👄👁
Bro same once I used tea tree oil skincare products it immediately got better
Yess the exact same thing happened to me, their tea tree products are the only thing that got rid of my acne
loll the opposite happened to me. I had the tea tree line from the body shop and it broke me out so badly and then I switched to Cerave and The Ordinary and my skin never looked better!! it really is different for everyone I guess :)
@@pelincintan403 Yeah 100% it varies for everyone!
Lush employee here. The founders of lush actually developed products for the body shop before founding lush
Oh wow.
Whuuuuhhh
I think it's cool that Hyram picked up on the similarities between them without even knowing that!
Heres the lush full story if anyone's interested :) www.lushusa.com/stories/article_a-lush-legacy.html
Anna Marz so lush learned from the body shop?
Anna Marz As a former lush employee as well, I can confirm this. That’s why there’s so many similarities.
It's strange as a Brit to watch this because Body Shop is such a staple in the British high street. It's so interesting to see how the company is viewed in the states. X great video hun x
Sophie Lambie Same!
I live in Canada and it's pretty big here. But it used to be a lot bigger, there are just so many companies these days. I think part of it is the market saturation, and maybe even an older target audience? But maybe it's just also different in the USA.
@@bananawammabama Interesting! I think you're probably right. They're more likely to focus of expanding in area where there's call for it. 😀
fizzilix its also big in Australia
Definitely lol. I remember going in with my mum as a kid and getting to smell the animal soaps
Can we please get companies to not put fragrance, perfume and essential oils in skincare please!!!
His top list has brands he likes that don't or products with very limited. E.g YTTB, krave, ordinary etc
well.. some (if not the majority of) people want fragrances in their skincare products.
@@erreb it's unfortunate that they do. i believe if people are educated about what fragrances have potential of doing they would either minimize or remove fragrant/essential oils products from their vanities.
Erreb13 why would someone want fragrances in their skin care though? I just don’t get it
Nicolé Fleur it’s easier to add later than to take away when it’s already in a product though 👩🏼🔬
I'm from India, and we have a body shop in every mall, every market in the metropolitan cities. Lush came to India sometime back but they left within a year, apparently they didn't do too well. This was 6 years or so ago. However I think Lush would do super well here now, the timing was just not right. I know no one cares I have no idea why I even wrote this comment.
Im from India too ;) i remember when Lush opened I was so happy because I loved their stuff when I lived in the UK but you're right sadly the timing wasn't right. I'm sure they would do great now.
@@JKDS04 Absolutely. I think the major problem we face here is that since we come from the country of Ayurveda a lot of big companies just use that as a marketing gimmick while stuffing products with artificial fragrance and poor chemicals. The Indian consumer in unfortunately not very aware. But hopefully in the future that will change.
You guys dont shop from Nykaa? I'm glad that at least I get better exposure than before because in a tier 1 city, the amount of fake products in cosmetics is insane.
But yes there are so many brands that I'd like more. Most Korean brands are not too good imo
@@cinnamongirl7623 I'm in Delhi and you don't get brands like the ordinary, CeraVe, Lush etc. Anywhere. And then you're absolutely correct if you buy from a store here that's not an official partner you don't know if it's orignal or not, even if it's orignal it's SO expensive. I've been scammed into purchasing Kylie lip kits and Huda beauty before that turned out to be fake, I was new to makeup and couldn't tell.
@@MrHakkatakka that's so true! So for the routine so far I only have the cleanser and moisturizer down.
The 2% salicylic acid from neutrogena and cetaphil gentle cleanse, and the clinique 72 hr hydrator. These are my staples.
I've been trying the Kaya niacinamide gel which just launched, i am pleasantly surprised at it. It's the only leave on active in my routine. But it does have fragrance in it. Everything we get has fragrance which frustrates me even more.
Do you have any recommendations?

Im impressed by how much theyre not ‘bragging’ it. Like usually brands like this are like ‘look. look at me! look!’ (Which is fine, and an easy way to find it tho) but this gives me like an ‘im doing good because its good’ vibe over a ‘im doing good because its hip’ vibe
Just like skinsofly.com. They got amazing products with no nasty chemicals and their products are very effective for fading dark spots and treating acne. But you barely hear of them until you use their products
The ginger shampoo COMPLETELY got rid of my awful dandruff that I’d had for years- it took a bottle to fully change my hair but I can’t go back. It also smells soooo much better than other dandruff shampoos
Same here! I get a very itchy scalp if I use any other shampoo for a long period of time
like the smell, but didn't help my itchy scalp whatsoever :/
It's the only shampoo I can use without getting an itchy scalp
yesss i had really bad dandruff and i used the ginger shampoo and conditioner and it got rid of it when i was halfway done with the bottles!!!
I sooo agree, it got rid of my flacky scalp. definitely worth the price though I wait for sale and stock up
I like the body shop because they are cruelty free, owned/designed by a woman who is/was an activist, they are ethical/fair trade, work on helping other donating to companies and they are vegetarian/vegan, their products also work really well (at least for me) my local store is currently donating to an organization focussing on women's health
Dame Anita Roddick is my idol
You should do ‘the truth about neutrogena’

I remember when I was young - my school did a trip to the body shop factory in U.K. and I bought the tea tree oil for spots. I’m pretty sure I was only ten and I didn’t have any spots so couldn’t use it. But I remember them telling us back then what they were doing around the world to stop animal cruelty etc. I don’t know why I’m commenting on that, I just thought it was nice they reached out to schools knowing that those 10 year old girls will be the future cosmetics and skincare users and tried instilling ethical standards young. Looking back that is genius and I really hope they are still doing this!
Just wish they did more educational trips and lessons like that here in the U.K. schools, because at the moment, this is not the case☹
Wow noice
Thank you for sharing. I’ve been looking for one for my flaky scalp for so long. Definitely will give it a try.
I just turned the likes into 1.1k!!!
@@ttuly17 I tried the ginger shampoo and conditioner for flaky scalp. Absolutely amazing! Reduced my dandruff after 1 wash, and completely resolved my dandruff after 3 washes.
The tea tree line in body shop literally saved my skin. It's ridiculously expensive but my oily skin is under control, I have less acne and my skin just overall looks healthier and feels cleaner. That being said, it's not for everyone. My mom broke out like crazy after using the SAME products I used so...yeah. not for everyone.
Was she using the one _you_ used? It could be from bacteria on the product you used yourself. (it could be but I'm not sure) OR your mom has very sensitive skin.
No. We both bought the same products but used different bottles. My products were almost over and it worked for me so she wanted to try them out for herself and bought herself a new set. Unfortunately it didn't work at all. Her skin is hyper sensitive and tea tree products caused redness and itching and tiny bumps all over. Or she's probably just allergic.
Tea tree is amazing!
?? expensive really
@@sociopath2108 It is expensive in my country. Definitely not mid range at all.
Ngl... I was worried about watching this because about 90% of my products are from The body shop. I wasn’t ready to give it up 😭

The way I put off watching this for this reason 😭😭😭
you don't have to give it up !!! until & unless you have sensitive skin & can't tolerate fragnance , the body shop is an amazing skincare line which actually shows resultss .. so don't worry !! even all my products are from tbs :)
@@vanyaarora1001 it's actually... Well they're now a pyramid scheme/MLM, and the company itself it's shady AF from the owner copied everything including name from a San Francisco business to FUCKED third country ppl ik their so called "charity" Many failed tests by US Authority, bacteria, mold, not even recalling their product

I'm a hairstylist, and i'm SUPER analytical and picky when it comes to haircare. That said, the body shop banana shampoo and banana conditioner are some of the best I have EVER used.
it does have sodium laureth sulfates tho :(
Omg and the mask is amazing for my dry ass hair lol
Ooo good to know!
I thought the banana mask was amazing until I tried the shea one.. next level
@Alisa Michelle well I've used Shea Moisture and Not Your Mothers for years and they don't use SLS at all.
When you earn points in the body shop, you earn a £5 reward and you can choose to spend that in store or you can chose a charity and donate it - I think that’s such a lovely idea
Nah they lied about charity work they done, basically nothing except for the pictures. They're also a MLM pyramid scheme

I've been using their Seaweed line for the last 6 months or so. I thought I would need their tea tree line but the employees helped me figure out that I have more combination skin versus oily skin and it has been a revalation for me. I also love that when they run out of a product due to a sustainability issues, they keep it off until they can safely make more.
They also constantly offer coupons and discounts to make things even more affordable so I will continue to support this brand.
I’m so glad to hear this as my whole skin care is body shop
Nice 👌
How did you work out what product's to use. I'm looking at they're product trying to work out what would be the best haha
Sinead Slaughter if you go into a body shop store they’d definitely be able to help! Or I think they have a help section on their website where they will provide the best products for your skin, I have oily skin so I use the seaweed, tea tree and Himalayan range :)
I was so scared when I saw this video but the only like I use is aloe so I was so excited
What line do u use?
Their drop of youth or whatever that line is called has literally transformed my skin. Reduced acne, dry patches/dehydrated skin, and reduced fine lines too. I love their products.
Nicola De Tenebrae drops of youth are the best! Currently using it
I’ve been trying to use this for my acne but it won’t go away and I’m so sad, but I do believe I have hormonal acne so I need medication - however it has worked AMAZING on my dry skin AND dry lips!! Yes I used it on my dry lips to exfoliate and yes it worked and no I probably shouldn’t do it but it’s amazing!!
LOVE this range! I'm obsessed with the eye cream!
They use denatured alcohol.
Love it for my skin
I worked for the Body Shop 35 years ago in Canada. I even dined with Anita Roddick, the company founder-she wore a Mickey Mouse faux-fur coat and I worshipped her. Lol
Some of the products have lost their “natural” feel as the company expanded. Some of my favorite products were phased out completely, probably because they didn’t appeal to a mass market looking for great-smelling products. But the company has never lost its ethical focus. Anita was doing fair trade and ethically sourcing 35 years ago-before it was “a thing”. And recycling and reusing bottles was novel back then but still available today.
Appreciate your positive review, and respect your concerns about fragrance and EOs. As always, a great video.
That must have been a very rewarding job, especially having the pleasure of meeting & dining with her.
I used to work at The Body Shop in Canada as well, I left last year because I'm going to school. I completely agree that they've lost some of their level of ethics has dropped since starting out, like we were told that you used to be able to bring an empty body butter jar to the store and get a discount on a new jar and they would recycle the old jar for you but now if they get returns or someone brings brings back an empty jar or a product is expired they literally just toss it in the garbage. I worked in a store that was in a mall that took care of all of our trash for us so it might be different in other stores, but there is still a lot of product that ends up being wasted.
I worked at the Body Shop over 30 years ago and was so proud. The t-shirts we wore were activist and nature. We sold Yanomamo tribe bracelets to help protect them and the rainforest. I could go on. I recently started working there again and do feel a change but love what they stand for. I got to meet Anita - she did training for us as we were the first store in MN. It was an honor to meet her.
The Body Shop is amazing. So glad you like it too. They also have a “bottles basket” in there store and you can drop off your old bottles.
Wow. Another check mark for commitment
You get a discount in my country of you bring back your empty TBS product
As for someone like me who recently followed Hyram on RUclips, I cannot help but to feel how extremely passionate, knowledgeable and honest he is when delivering his unbias opinions. He is not being afraid of what the general public would think about it. In reality, a lot of us are still struggling to find the best skin care products suitable for our skin. He made it easy for us to access information by creating videos of the skin care products he used. Keep doing you Hyram! Who knows, you might just hit a jackpot and score yourself a huge deal to create your very own skin care products!
I enjoy how consistent he is. :)
When I think about the body shop, I think body products, like their famous body butters.
Agreed! Their body products are amazing. And so is their camomile cleansing range. Caroline Hirons raves about it.
HeyFranziska I didn’t know she loved it, my daughter recommended it to me and I love it so much.

As a super dry-skinned individual, have to say I absolutely love the Body Shop body butters.Yes, they have fragrance, but my legs are a lot less sensitive to that than my face is, and they do get dry enough to shed flakes in the winter. The body butters from the Body Shop not only stop the shedding, the skin on my legs feels completely moisturized and healthy as long as I use these... thankfully! I WANT to support this company!
I’ve spent a good year trying to find a brand where I can buy all my cosmetics that is totally ethical on all levels and works...

As someone who’s working at the Body Shop currently, I’ve been looking forward to this immensely :)

I was so confused because I thought The Body Shop was owned by L’Oreal but apparently I am way behind on the times because they were bought out a few years ago and are now owned by the entirely cruelty free Natura (for anyone as confused as me!) so will definitely be going back to trying some of their products!
We who use The Body Shop, we are very loyal to this brand. Not just cause' it's very ethical and cruelty free, but also the products actually WORK.
EXACTLY. i swear i was using face wash from other brands and my skin still felt a bit textured/ rough or smooth for like 3 hours...but since i bought the vit E range omg...first use and then my skin felt supple and refreshed and it smoooth af. The annoying part is that i want all their ranges but for the vit e works with my skin...tip: dont use too much products from different ranges unless they compliment every need of your skin.
Juni Dey and smell nice 👀
Honestly! Love their products
Juni Dey yeeees
Cruelty free? Aren't they in China?
when your from the uk and literally used all of those products in that order.... also it is wayyyy cheaper in the uk
It is way cheaper your right i actually have most of these products on my dressing table
they are cheaper in the uk because they have to be shipped to the US which makes them more expensive
The cleanser is 1/3 of the price in America
I live in germany and ist is so much cheaper here too, but generally all over europe it’s so much cheaper than in the USA
Would love you to review these brands: Weleda, Avène, La roche-posay, Herbivore and Caudalie
Maaaaarrryy avene and bioderma please!
Claudalié!!!!
Yeeeeeeeeeeees
I love Weleda!
LA Roche and Avene PLZZZ
Vitamin E intense moisture literally saves my ass every winter
MsButterFlySting80 it just works :P my cheeks (but not the butt ones) always would get this crocodile skin and flakes and nothing ever worked (the temperature was like -15 oC). And this cream got rid of it in like two days of use.
@@z.kaminska130 that's not that cold compared to where I live, it's currently about 19°F, which is what, -7°C for you? I can see where it's tough on your skin, as I certainly get winter dryness too, the coldest I've been in was technically -80°F but with the windchill factor it was -85°F. More often the norm is between 32°F to -40°F where I'm at in Alaska. I'll have to check into that intense moisturizer though, thanks!
MsButterFlySting80 well I live in central europe, you can’t compare it with alaska :P
I love the vitamin e nourishing night cream. Cold ass winters here in Finland but nothing works as well as this.
Oohh I love the vitamin E spray and rose toner because they make my skin feel moisturized without being oily! My skin is very dry and any oily product sit on top and clogges my pores. I might have to try their moisturizer out then 🤔
The Body Shop was bought by a Brazilian brand called Natura, the idea behind their website is the same as the Natura, which is AMAZING! Very transparent and thoughtful to the client. Also, we must not forget the ethically responsible business. 🥰🥰
When I think of The Body Shop I think of their delicious smelling hand creams and body butters, but I hope they come out with more fragrance free lines
The OG body lotion was fragrance free. One could add a fragrance oil of one's choice in store. All bottles were refillable and recyclable, and they also had half a liter bottles. Most of you are too young to have experienced the original Body Shop as run by the Roddick family. Most TBS diehards were aghast and disappointed when they sold out; it went against all that TBS stood for.
@@dinasawlani Àgreed. They're Vanilla smelled like Chocolate Chip cookies. I still buy their products.
@@LowEnd57 yes Vanilla and the original White Musk perfume oil. And do you remember Ananya and Fuzzy Peach? Loved those. True 90s scents.
@@dinasawlani Yess!! Fuzzy Peach was that ish!!! Awww...I miss it! Exotic too!!
Fingers crossed!
All of a sudden, I feel so good about spending all my broke college kid birthday money at the body shop
i feel you
They're pyramid scheme....
the vitamin e body shop moisturised has actually helped so much with my dry skin and has literally cleared my skin up
Hi Jessica, totally agree, i love it so much
Same !
I got a sample from my mum’s friend (a body shop representative) and I love it but it’s £18
The founder of The body shop is a woman. I’ve read her whole story she’s amazing.
Thanks for sharing!
But she copied the products from the owner of lush, illuminaughty did a brilliant video deep dive into it. Sadly after watching that it threw a bucket of water all over my burning love for the body shop so be careful x
Who owns it now - Laurel?
@@justkirah7949 absolutely, I used to love body shop but that video was eye opening and I am rethinking where I get my lotions and potions
@@justkirah7949 wtf?...
Your into! I think that should be your tag line: “I’m here I’m queer and I’m ready to slay!” Love that. I think you need to keep it.
😂😂 I thought people would think it’s cheesy but I’m glad you love it! ❤️

Currently on my break at work watching this. Hyram you honestly have saved my skin. Thank you for your videos, they have helped me so much and made me realise just how important it is to look after my skin for the long run. My skin has been flourishing since subscribing to your channel.

omg you need to watch Dr. Dray too- shes a dermatologist that covers EVERYTHING w the best recommendations - Her and Hyram are my holy grail
Th L thank you!😩❤️I’ll definitely check out her Chanel x
I’ve been using the tea tree toner for TEN YEARS and it’s the only product Ive tried to this day that prevents me from getting loads of tiny little spots... I have hormonal acne too and it reduces my cyst type spots to two or three a month rather than two or three new ones a day 😬 I can swap anything else out but as soon as I remove that toner, my skin HATES me 🤪
Edit: but thank you so much. I learned a lot!
for all those wondering tea tree oil does work! i bought a bottle at the drug store and i put at least 8-10 drops in a small medicine cup with lukewarm water to dilute it cause it can cause ur skin to become very dry if u don’t dilute it and then i just use my clean fingers to dip and apply it on to my face and i saw instant results in just 2 weeks!! my acne is 90% gone highly recommend!
The tea tree oil cleared my skin in a month
* little goes a long way *
Hey Jacqueline...
Did it clear your acne or acne scars?
meghna chikara yea it actually clear my acne and the scars
I reacted so badly to the tea tree range and I am so gutted as it completely cleared my best friends aswell
jacqueline Uribe I used it for one month and it ruined my skin😭😭😭😭
@@MISSwatermelongirl try using just the tea tree oil on the pimple.. The toner gave me a really bad break out as well but the oil itself is heaven
Also, interesting fact, a worker in body shop told me when it was owned by L'Oréal (isn't anymore) it spent loads on inventing a substitute 'human' skin so that no animals ever need to be tested on again 🐇🐰
Egypt in a nut shell:
1: Neutrogena
2: The body shop
:)
:")
not all neutrogena products tho
Lol
Mariam h
Just the bad ones:)
And the garnier lemon face wash thing 😭
😂😂😂😂
I was so nervous for this video because The Body Shop is my Nr. 1 self-care indulgence brand. Mainly for body care, as in Body wash, body lotions etc and I already expected you to be critical of their fragrance heavy products, but I still. I'm so happy your verdict is so positive 😊
The Vitamin E toner is so amazing for dryer skin👌🏼 holy grail
Aqsa kh i totally agree with you
I cant even walk into Lush...it smells too strong. Makes me dizzy. I can stay in body shop longer but it smells very strong too
I know I'm near Lush in the mall because I smell it from around the corner. lol
i have asthma and it makes me wanna faint when i walk past
Completely agree. I hate even walking past Lush, I’ve never stepped in the shop because the smell is so strong I can’t cope with it.
Lush makes me feel ill if I am in the store for more than a few minutes. There is no comparison between the body shop and lush. The body shop is far far superior.
Guitarbarella I remember the first time I encountered a Lush shop I couldn’t even walk past the shop without feeling a bit sick. I just order online.
i dont really care for most body shop products for my skin, HOWEVER their ginger shampoo and conditioner absolutely changed my life. it literally fixed my flaky scalp and controlled my oily hair.
The Ginger shampoo is an OG product from the original product range. All skincare products available now were either developed or reformulated by L'Oréal. The Ginger shampoo isn't exactly the same as it used to be, but still good.
Dina Sawlani The formula changed not too long ago, so instead of ginger root extract the new one has ginger essential oil. This gives a more concentrated and therapeutic feel to the product. The newer formula also has more fair trade honey than before, so the texture is thicker and more soothing for the scalp.
I have fine, very tangled hair that gets oily within a day, would this work? I'm getting desperate on my quest for a good shampoo&conditioner?
@@ripcord6 no harm in trying:)
@@ripcord6 I would! My hair is also fine and oily and its done wonders, and my scalp is no longer a problem for me.
I am a loyal customer of The Body Shop--I have the rewards card--and I loved this video!
Since I am from South America, I especially love that they source several of their ingredients from the Amazon. It makes me feel close to home, even though I am miles away.
Thank you for your research and for sharing it! 😍❤
I’m a Body shop consultant so I sell body shop products. I am so happy to be working for a brand that is cruelty free & vegetarian. As a vegetarian this is really important to me. Glad you like it
I have just bought vitamin e night nourshing cream it was seem to be full jar.. But after two days i felt the jar was half empty they just filled it to decieve us..kindly tell is it fake or not? Or the jar is half filled
last year i was a swim teacher and the chlorine was dryyyying out my skin. my boyfriend got me the aloe face moisturizer for Christmas and i absolutely love it!! my skin is so sensitive but this moisturizer doesn't react with my skin and makes my skin feel amazing!!
That’s a good boyfriend right there
Hi can you tell me the full name of this cream
❤️
I have been using the entire vitamin e series for two years and my skin has never looked better. I don’t have acne anymore and my skin is no longer dry. I don’t have sensitive skin though so the fragrance doesn’t bother me. You have to use products that works with your skin so just because the vitamin e series works on me doesn’t mean they will work on u. My thoughts about it :)
Yay! :D
I love the aloe line, I have allergies, my face is extremely sensitve, roseca ridden, and dry. The aloe line saved me when perscriptions and dermatologist couldn’t. The cream cleanser is my favorite, if you are a big makeup wearer it may not be the best, but I find it cleans off my average amount of makeup and mascara well with some gentle circular motions and care. I have never been a toner lover, but I don’t want to live without their aloe toner anymore, when ever I have redness, spots, or allergic reactions on my face it calms and soothes them immeditley. The cleanser and toner are my favoirte. I would say the moisturizers are okay, there is a nightime and a daytime mositurizer, they both have a similar consistency and are probably better for normal skin types, they aren’t always enough for my dry skin. Overall the mositurizers are good but I think they are even better for dry skin when paired with a creamier mositurzer like vani cream which is very gentle. My final notes, as someone with allergies, sensitive skin and all that nonsense, the cleanser and toner are things I don’t want to give up, the mosituizers are good if you need take your skin care to the bare minimum, but in the long run I dont think they offer enough to protect and repair your skin barrier. If you are on the fence and really stuggling I think its worth the money, specifically with the cream cleanser and toner I have tried tons of gentle face cleansers and have yet to find something that is truely as gentle as those two products.
Hi, can you tell me the full name of the foam washing tonic and cream you use?
@@aleksa3869 hi, year it's just the aloe cream cleanser (no foam), and the aloe toner at the body shop!
I’m literally so in love with this channel what the heck
Me tooooo
Tea tree line made my skin really good after a year.
it helped mine only with 3 months already, love it
I'm addicted to this line
Exactly!! I use their products along with the natural herb extracts lotions and moisturizers from skinsofly.com. Changed my skin a lot.
I absolute loved it, I had the whole tea tree line, and then I started taking accutane and my face burned like hell, and I looked like I had a sunburn, so defs not right for sensitive skin-also drys your face out, but for oily skin its amazing
I've been using the Aloe day cream for a few years now, I used to have SEVERE acne but it works really well with all my topical prescriptions and my skin has cleared up 😄😄✨💫
Helena Jordan Same!! The seaweed gel cream was awesome in the summer but now I prefer the aloe moisturizer in the winter. My skin has been insane this past year and it’s the only moisturizer that doesn’t break me out!
Yay!
I am actually a Body Shop at home rep and can honestly say the only reason I became one was because of the ethics and naturally sourced ingredients
I live in the UK, and am from the town that the Body Shop was made. I go past the HQ everyday to get to school, my Mum works there and I’ve always loved their products! All our makeup and skincare is from there and works wonders!
Their aloe soothing moisture lotion is actually the best and I'd recommend it to anyone with sensitive skin!
Does it make your skin oily?
No, it doesn't. I tried it and I also now the Aloe +glutathione moisturizer from skinsofly.com. It amazing too
i was thinking of buying it! can you tell me the benefits you saw while using it?
Kyriaki ii Hey , it’s a holy grail if you have sensitive skin , I highly recommend buying it !!
My friend who’s always had serious skin isssues with a sensitive skin is hooked up to this moisturiser and I can’t stress how much it has helped him !! Hope this helps :)
I bought it but had an allergic reaction unfortunately. I still swear by the body shop though.
The tea tree oil helped me get rid of my acnel/fungal acne and my acne scars in two weeks its an amazing product definitely recommend for people who are having a hard time trying to find products that actually works
How did you apply it?
@@prathyushareddy3997 same doubt
@@prathyushareddy3997 The bottle has a plastic stopper that allows a few drops to come out when you tip it. Just apply those drops directly on your skin. You could also pour the drops on a cotton bud and dab it on your face, like applying toner with a cotton pad, but there's going to be some wastage.
Does it work for dry acne prone skin?
@@AAH1996 it’s not really recommended for dry skin, but if you only apply it as like a spot treatment it should be fine. i have combination skin and it works for me :)
me sitting here with an entire bed side table full of body shop products and ordering more for my birthday😳
when i tried their vitamin E cleanser my cheeks got red itchy spots and was super sensitive and hot for days, only after using it two times. I used their aloe foam cleanser the next day, and it really did calm my skin. I bought this when i didn't know foam cleansers weren't recommended, but this one really worked for me, both during winter and throughout the summer. Their aloe rescue mask is also pretty good! i tend to get spots of flaky skin in the winter, and this mask moisturises so much that the spots are gone overnight! i recommend this one for very dry skin, not necessarily as a daily night moisturiser, but maybe a few times a week in drying periods.
The tea tree line is just amazing and saved my skin
products work
Is it harmless to use on skin ?
Mira Kumari Das It worked really well on my skin! I have combination but also really sensitive skin and it stung just a little but it cleared my skin!. I used the cleanser, toner and moisturiser - the moisturiser imo smelt really good and made my skin so soft, it’s a shame the products don’t work as well on my skin anymore.
@@egg378 The products are not working anymore on your face?
same here
You should do a “the truth about Clinique” video!
There is one up rn :)
Always thought the Clinique wasn’t all that great ?
Would love to see!
i have the most sensitive skin ever. literally almost every skincare product causes me to breakout in hives all over. the body shop is the only shop which i can use any product that doesn’t cause these hives and improved my skin. i love their shampoos, body butters, lip balms, and sprays
I am literally in love with the aloe line i have used it for a year now and i do love it
I was so happy when you said that the aloe line was fragrance free because I was looking at buying the aloe eye and lip cream! super happy that it’s hyram approved :)
I've been à massive fan since I was literally a kid. My favourite products are definetly...
Banana hair care line
The grape seed hair sirum is absolutely amazing
Body butters
The make up is not my favourite from here but not the worst.
Theyve always been forward thinking about the world and its products.
I have really dry, sensitive skin and I always love a good fairtrade, sustainable brand who care about their impact on the planet. I love bodyshop's aloe line, the shea hair line, and the satsuma body mist.
@Caramel Cupcake I always spray my clothes with my satsuma spray before I get dressed, because it smells great.

- Hyram 2019
I love watching Hyram talk about skin but most products he says are either just okay or terrible are sold in my country 😪 everything else has to be ordered online and the shipping costs are just 😖😫 that being said, I now know to look at the ingredients list of all products! Which has saved me soooooooo much coin❤ and my skin? IMPROVED! We have a Body Shop branch here too and I have fallen absolutely in love❤
The seaweed range has transformed my combination-oily skin. I swear by their facial wash, scrub and toner🖤
Glad to hear this!! My skin is pretty good apart from the “fungal acne” around my chin, but I just got the seaweed moisturizer for the first time and i really like it!!! Was thinking of getting the facial wash!
I'm thinking of trying the seaweed moisturizer but not sure if it's gonna help my combo-oily skin! Have you used it? What did you think?
The vitamin E line is my saviour. Love the face wash, toner and moisturizer. I also use the Satsuma body wash which works great for my hair too :)
I always fancied their products , but now I am proud of buying and I will try to get all my stuff from them as much as I can cause the work they do is one of the most important work you can do in this world we live in! Im studying to be a herbologist and an esthetician and my passion is to make skincare. I feel like they showed me what is possible and what kind of a skincare company I should build and really want to collaborate with them in the future and set the world on the right track. I feel like I found my purpose to help the world heal and do what I love the most in one job!
Thank you Hyram!
Never knew they had a fragrance free line, will look into that. Thank you
I’m 43 and love the body shop in late 80/90s every Saturday when me and friends would go to town the shop would be packed! I always asked for body shop stuff for Christmas and birthdays. I miss some products that don’t exist anymore but still love it.
I was going to body shop only for their smells! Absolutely love how their products smell, but I wouldn't put anything like that on my face of course! I love their hand creams, nut smells are lovely and also my hands say thank you each time I put it on. I will definitely try this fragrance free line for the face! Thank you for sharing this info!
Honey we have multiple skin care lines that are made for all skin types. Search up Drops of Youth, Tea Tree, Vitamin E and and Vitamin C.
