Seasonal Bath & Body and Home Fragrance Collections.

Welcome the arrival of luxurious, seasonal Bath & Body and Home Fragrance collections, which are bursting with deliciously indulgent naturally derived ingredients and festive fragrances like Black Velvet Apricot, Nutmeg & Vanilla and Merry Cranberry – perfect for all your loved ones.
The beauty of giving a pampering pressie from The Body Shop is that you are giving more than a luxurious high-performance product. Many of the ingredients in the seasonal ranges are sourced through the unique Community Trade programme, which helps marginalised communities across the world to receive a fair income for their work and protect a traditional way of life. Plus The Body Shop includes the benefit of recycled materials in the packaging.
