Do you remember your favorite beauty products from the 80s and 90s? I do. I was obsessed with a little known store (at the time) called The Body Shop. The creator was a cool, woman entrepreneur, the company promoted social responsibility, and I just couldn't get enough of the Banana Shampoo/Conditioner and the Mango Body Butter.
Plus, I looked forward to getting the catalog in the mail (yes, that's how we shopped for our products back then). At the time, there was nothing else like it.
Which is why it was sad to eventually see some of my favorite The Body Shop products slowly disappear from the store's shelves. I get it--new day, new time, but still? What about the good times?
That's why I'm VERY excited for the brand's newest product line, or should I say, oldest--The Body Shop's Originals!
Not only can I now pick up a bottle of the Banana shampoo, but I can also get Dewberry Body Lotion, Cucumber Cleansing Milk, and lots of my other favorites. It's like I'm in a time warp--they're even using retro packing!
Now if they could only bring back the original formula for their Mango Body Butter, I could smell like bananas AND walk around with shiny 80's legs.
