The Body Shop Cucumber Cooling Foot Lotion

The Body Shop is a pioneering British cosmetics, skin care, and perfume brand founded in 1976 by Anita Roddick. This specific product, a Cucumber Cooling Foot Lotion, is part of a range focused on ethically sourced, cruelty-free personal care. The company was headquartered in Littlehampton, West Sussex, where much of its product development and manufacturing historically occurred.

Regarding ownership, the brand has seen significant transitions. After being owned by L'Oréal and subsequently the Brazilian group Natura & Co, the brand was acquired by the private equity firm Aurelius Group in late 2023. However, in early 2024, the UK business entered administration. In September 2024, the brand was acquired by a consortium led by Aurea Holding, which now serves as the ultimate owner, aiming to steer the brand back to its sustainable and ethical roots.
