With The Body Shop turning 50, there’s never been a better time to rediscover these favourites — or try them for the first time.
From the nostalgic comfort of Shea Body Butter to the everyday reliability of Vitamin E Day Cream, The Body Shop has built its reputation on products that people don’t just try, they stick with.
Fifty years later, that loyalty still says everything. Now, as it celebrates its 50th anniversary, the brand is marking the milestone in a very on-brand way: giving back to its loyal customers.
To celebrate, stores across the UK are hosting in-store events, with the first 50 shoppers in every branch receiving free goodie bags worth over £45—packed with some of its most loved products. And if that wasn’t enough, there are also exclusive gifts with purchase and special treats happening throughout the day.
It’s the perfect excuse to revisit the icons—and, honestly, I didn’t need much convincing. These are The Body Shop products I always come back to.
Camomile Cleansing Butter
If there’s one product that proves cleansing can feel luxurious, it’s this. It melts make-up (even stubborn or waterproof mascara) in seconds and leaves skin feeling soft. It’s especially useful on days when my skin needs something gentle but effective. It also happens to be a cult favourite - and I can definitely see why.
Ginger Shampoo
Whether you’re dealing with a dry scalp, dandruff, or just want that squeaky-clean feeling without harshness, this shampoo delivers. The subtle ginger scent is refreshing without being overpowering and it actually delivers clean hair which lasts for days. It’s another bestseller.
Shea Body Butter
This body butter is peak Body Shop nostalgia. Thick, rich and deeply moisturising, it’s the product I reach for every time my skin feels a little bit dry. The shea range has been a fan favourite for decades, and once you try it, you understand why. It leave skin feeling softer, smoother and intensely nourished with 96 hour moisture.

Vitamin E Day Cream
Simple, effective, and perfect for everyday use. If your skin prefers fuss-free hydration, this is one of those products you’ll keep repurchasing without even thinking about it. It layers beautifully under makeup too.
Edelweiss Daily Serum
A more recent addition to The Body Shop range compared to some of the classics, but this serum has quickly become a standout. Lightweight, hydrating, and designed to help protect the skin barrier, it’s ideal if you want that healthy, dewy glow without anything too heavy.
Hemp Hand Cream
This is the hand cream for seriously dry hands. It’s thick, no-nonsense, and works almost instantly. It’s incredibly effective and always in my bag.
White Musk Perfume Eau De Parfum
Widely considered one of The Body Shop’s most iconic launches, White Musk is still instantly recognisable. Clean, soft, and slightly powdery, it’s the kind of fragrance that feels effortless and timeless.

Matching foundation and concealer shades can be one of the trickiest parts of any make-up routine 😩 – but e.l.f. Cosmetics say their newly launched Soft Glam collection could make things much simpler.
The Soft Glam Base Covered Duo bundles the Soft Glam Satin Foundation with the Soft Glam Satin Concealer, both available in 36 shades 🎨 covering cool, neutral and warm undertones across fair to rich skin tones. The idea is simple – choose the same shade for both products and create a coordinated base without the usual guesswork.
Both formulas promise lightweight, satin-finish coverage that is buildable, crease-resistant and transfer-resistant ✨ – designed for everyday wear whether you prefer a natural glow or a more polished look.
Even better for shoppers, the duo is currently £10 with code FLAWLESS 💸 – saving £4 compared with buying the products separately.
