90s Body Shop products they should bring back!

I’m in a nostalgic mood.
Probably like most 90s teens I loved the Body Shop back in the day and wish they’d bring back some of my favourites which were:

Cucumber cleanser- loved the scent so much, takes me right back to summer

Passion fruit cleanser- smelt gorgeous, had a really nice texture too

Fuzzy peach & Dewberry perfume- classic first perfumes!

Also does anyone miss those fruit shaped Soaps?

What products do you wish they’d bring back?

Atlas rose range. They've replaced it with the infinitely inferior and insipid British rose range

Ineedteepeeformybunghole · 05/09/2022 12:30

Apple shower gel (from the 90s, used to get a free one when you did the body shop tour)
Animal soaps
And bath pearls
I miss these so much

The Milk Bath salts in a little Bag
White Musk
Mulberry ?

Fruity shaped gel bath I think it was

The fruit soaps were banned - you can't make soap shaped like edible food anymore unfortunately. Loved the apple & banana ones.
The banana shampoo & conditioner
Tea Rose perfume
The Oil Bar
Vanilla perfume
Gardenia Bath Milk
& it's definitely overpriced now - a friend does the Body Shop At Home stuff & the prices are eye watering for what they are!

The original Cocoa butter range 😍

Countmeout · 05/09/2022 12:42

My daughter got me elderflower eye gel recently. It was always a favourite of mine. It seems just the same to me.

Carrot moisturiser- this was the best, and inadvertently slightly tinted

ThePumpkinPatch · 05/09/2022 12:47

The founder & her ethics

MintyGreenDreams · 05/09/2022 12:48

Honeysuckle perfume oil

@SuperLoudPoppingAction i think the Sensual body lotion was part of the ayurveda range! 😃

When the Body Shop started it had character and bags of imagination. When L'Oréal bought it they didn't value any of that and consequently ruined the brand.

Sesame body butter.
Sweet Lemon body butter
Passion Fruit Cleansing gel

Comedycook · 05/09/2022 12:53

Oh thanks...that's a cute idea for a Christmas stocking filler actually!

Pinkyxx · 05/09/2022 12:59

Yes 😁- bring back those bath pearls, the lip glosses, everything in the tea rose range, everything in the white musk range, the gardenia bath milk, the gift baskets with products sat on straw... I used to love the Body Shop, my brother got me a basket every birthday & every Christmas... loved them!

Those strange squidgy iridescent bath balls 😁

YES! These! The cute little animal shaped ones, I always remember how much I loved them, and know my girls would too, but can't find them anywhere these days. Would definitely make me shop there again! X

Tigerstigers · 05/09/2022 13:02

And you'd think, with trying to reduce plastic the bath pearls are perfect for that as no packaging needed. They were in pick and mix style jars. Surprised Lush or somewhere similar hasn't reinvented them

coldcaff · 05/09/2022 13:04

Bath pearls! I remember being given a jar full of different shapes for Christmas when I was about 9 or 10, I treasured it and used the pearls so sparingly!

hattie43 · 05/09/2022 13:04

Anything Dewberry

CookPassBabtridge · 05/09/2022 13:06

Aww I loved it there. And it was affordable for teens.. I used to have a fiver on me and be able to buy something and have enough for food.
It's completely different now.. expensive and posh. People walk in, enjoy a few samples and walk out.

SunshineLollipopsAndRainbows · 05/09/2022 13:07

I bought peppermint foot cream fairly recently but not sure it was quite the same

SnoozyLucy7 · 05/09/2022 13:07

Japanese Musk perfume oil! Nothing like it.

knackeredagain · 05/09/2022 13:07

Oceana perfume. I loved that!

My local pub has a hand wash that smells almost identical and I’d love to find out what it is, but I’d feel a right weirdo asking at the bar.

NyanBinaryJohn · 05/09/2022 13:08

It'd be nice if they brought back female empowerment: Female run, no MLM arm and no using misogyny as advertising.

Male run, MLM arm which disproportionately affects women negatively, and using a woman's abuse against her for their financial gain is abhorrent.

Glad to say I haven't shopped there since the latter. Not the ethical company they make out to be.

Not to mention when they replaced their SLS and other nasties free haircare range with products full of SLS, silicones and other horrible shit.

NewBootsAndRanty · 05/09/2022 13:10

Coconut soap in the shape of a polar bear.
'Activist' scent .

qpmz · 05/09/2022 13:19

Their coconut oil shampoo made my hair really glossy!
