Why is all your videos labels as 'Potential Fall'

No, we don't want companies to get involved in political issues and preach to us. Go woke go broke. The cancel culture mob really destroy everything they touch. Never liked the Body Shop.

Can you review Jessica Simpson's empire

My wife used to buy body shop all the time in london in 03',The body butters were the best, especially the mango

I grew up getting great items from The Body Shop in the 90s. I loved their mango body butter and mango spray. Something happened in the 2010s that made them not smell the same. I still use their facial buffer but it's out of stock now on Amazon and The Body Shop's website doesn't work. I don't think it ever did. I now just ordered a facial buffer pad and loofah from a different company. Hope they are better. I also use a different company's lotion in a different scent that's pleasing. Their physical store left our local mall some years ago. I hadn't been to the mall for a long time so I don't know when they left. I was told rent went up and various stores left. Which was true.

Loved the Bodyshop in ViaXX Genova (Italy) and the one in Kalverstrazt Amsterdam; the bodyperfumes & creams were so good, delicious smell and the vibe felt good. And then it changed, became more expensive and mainstream somehow, the vibe was different.

I was never particularly attracted to The Body Shop, as I prefer a bit of glamour. I saw a TV interview with Anita Roddick where she was banging on about environment and helping people in third world countries and the like, and she declared “I cannot get excited about a face cream!” I thought it was so arrogant and very patronising towards her customers, especially people without much money to spend on themselves, who were perhaps very excited by the purchase of a face cream! I did, however, love Body Shop Under Eye Oil, which I used for years because it smelled of roses. Then they “improved” it, so it was unperfumed, although actually it still had a smell - a rather unpleasant synthetic smell. So I never bought it again. There ended my association with The Body Shop.

The Body Shop>Bath and Body Works all day. Also Bath and Body is owned by VS which does animal testing 😢.

Colourpop put the final nail in makeup geeks coffin

Ain't people still buy them. Wal-Mart should still be selling them. Not sure

My nose looks just like hers without makeup and always wanted to know what she uses to narrow it down like she does.

Because my employer forbids wearing cosmetics with “scents” because of colleague sensitivity, I didn’t really shop at the Body Shop…and if I did go into a shop, the smells were so overwhelming..To this day I tend to stay away from any product that has strong scents.

Fantasy everything on the moon at this point like girl has fantasy in every colour and vibe

Fantasy will always be the best smelling perfume ever. I just wish it lasted longer on the skin.

I wouldn't touch Lush with a 10 foot pole. Awful company!!

Do people really WANT to look like a painted doll and act like a cretin? (Ps. I have no problem with a ‘boy’ wearing make-up, or with whatever sex a person wants to see themselves as; I just wonder why folks want to be so fake on a daily basis, when they look darn good naturally with maybe a touch of makeup bringing out one’s best features…)

I like how you explain things. This is a brilliant video. I'm gonna subscribe ☺️

I’m Filipino but I haven’t been in the Philippines for a while so I haven’t heard about Orabella 😮

I used body shop products almost religiously. I boycotted them 5 years ago after learning just how woke they are!

I call it huda booty now because of Mo 😂

Fantasy intense smells amazinggggg🥰💗

They just announced a new fragrancd yesterday!!

Make one video on Refy Beauty

My mother got me Curious as a birthday gift, and I was grown woman. I loved it. It smelled wonderful on me.

The Body Shop was never big un my country, I never knew about the back story and cause oriented business. When I started buying from them it was already middle 2000 and what I liked was that the scent of products was exactly what it was supposed to be: rose smelt of rose even afte rmany hours of using any product, unlike any other brand that leaves a strange artificial aftersmell ai dislike very much. That changed gradually, scents were taken off production and replaced with similar ones with the said aftersmell like any other big brand.

On completing the video I think the activism was her personal mission that you can’t sell at all. The sale to L’Oréal was never gonna work. She really tried 💕

I love the body shop in South Africa,this is sad😩😩

I'm sure it was extremely difficult for her to see her company sell out as it became more profitable, so hard she stayed until she sold it for 1 billion. I too would like to dry my tears on 1000 dollar bills.

This was really comprehensive and I was really excited to see Jon Entine's work as although The Body Shop wasn't perfect, and shouldn't have been seen as such; its marketing didn't make that clear and the cult of personality around Anita Roddick limited any effective change that could have been taken up once the allegations came to light over the business' ethical downfalls. The thing is Anita could have not grown. She could have kept the company smaller, but that is counter to capitalism. And I think she meant well, she had a real punch in the gut for the cosmetic business, but her naivety and entrepreneurial spirit should have been tempered with rationality and long-term planning. I know there was a lot to cover, but for me the biggest scandal for The Body Shop was the franchising issues and the lawsuits that came up from that. Anita Roddick is a fascinating woman, and was very influential to the cosmetics business. But at its heart, The Body Shop was her making money. That's not a bad thing. But she believed her own PR, and that led to the beginning of the end.

What about looking at the Liz Earle brand?

I did my capstone degree project on the Body Shop. The organisation was really not that clean and green: maybe better compared to major retail brands, but certainly not squeaky-clean. And while the Body Shop products were not tested on animals, many of the bulk ingredients that they purchased in were animal-tested.

Something I've wanted to learn more about ever since reading about the company in Peter Lynch's Beating The Street. Extremely interesting.

selling it off to lauder was the ultimate betrayal i guess......sigh

I’ve used The Body Shop products for 30 years; at 74 my skin looks 20 years younger. I’m devastated to learn my favorite products will no longer be available. And the prices, compared to Origins, are low. Thanks for posting this. 😢

Do the rise and fall of JLO beauty

A really nice summary of the body shop.

They still doing pretty well here in Australia. Another case of, "is it really falling though?".

She has a special gift to sell anything she touches. It has made her life a nightmare too 🥺

I worked for this company's first store in the US, 8th street and Broadway. I started when they first launched and was there for 4 years, it changed so much in that short period of time. They became greedy and what I knew and was introduced to as to what it became was a failure

I've loved the brand since the 90's. There were still two stores left in my area as of last month, I will check to see of they're still open and buy what I can. RIP to Mrs Roddick, she was a phenomenal woman.

Fantastic video and analysis as always! As a side note, I find it a bit disingenuous that Roddick and the Body Shop seems to downplay criticism of their company by saying that they’re being held to an unfairly high standard, that they were being compared to “perfection” - like, no one expects a company to make the perfect decisions 100% of the time, that’s obviously unrealistic. But the allegations against the company in the Vanity Fair article go beyond mere imperfection and reads as being exceedingly scammy. Lying about the provenance of ingredients, unequal treatment and pay of farmers and suppliers, accusations of plagiarism, lying about the origins of the company to market themselves more effectively, just lots of lying in general - and the fact that Roddick seems to be either blithely unaware of or totally unwilling to engage with any of the criticisms against her and the company - as shown by her inability to admit to any poor decision or mistake she may have made - it’s just very revealing, and unfortunately for her the picture painted by her autobiography/autobiographies and interviews isn’t particularly pretty.

Can anyone suggest a good fragrance matching white musk oil

Fantasy was the smell of my childhood, it’s my favourite perfume now.

her social media shares content mainly from yt and middle eastern women.

Such a boring audio and video.

The animation and editing is amazing!

Amazing amazing amazing video!!! I've always been curious (pun intended 🤣) about how the conservatorship affected her cosmetics line and how much money it made vs what she actually got. Super upsetting to hear how she was used as the face of the brand but most likely didn't even get that much money from it. Her fragrances are great though, I've tried Fantasy, Midnight Fantasy, and Curious and they're all incredible! Fantasy is literally the most-complimented perfume I've ever worn, and I wear TONS of perfumes lol. I definitely wanna get more of them, the Jungle Fantasy one looks really good!

I hope you can also do research for international brans from southeast Asia they're have great brand like the paragon company can beat Maybelline and loreal from Indonesia market since 2016

I went to school with her granddaughter (she is called Osha) and I remembered one day hearing that both her mum and her randomly moved to the states because “things where getting stressful”. I get it now
