Best of: The Body Shop reissues originals
London – Banana Conditioner, Dewberry Bath Gel and Ice Blue Shampoo are some of the 80s favourites that ethical beauty brand The Body Shop is bringing back to its stores as part of its ‘Originals’ collection.
The move was inspired, in part, as a response to nostalgic customers. ‘With so many people asking, ‘Whatever happened to the banana shampoo or dewberry oil lotion?’ we had to go back to our archive to see what was available back then,’ says Lisa Gaynor, the company’s head of brand and values.
In line with the brand’s eco- and socially conscious background, the products are packaged in bottles made with 100% recycled PET from post-consumer plastics, and use Fairtrade ingredients from the company’s Community Trade initiative.
