The first ever beauty Advent calendar from The Body Shop was dreamt up in Denmark in 2000. Fast forward 23 years and these Advent calendars are now one of the most highly anticipated annual product launches. This year, The Body Shop offers three Advent calendars with beautiful pop up illustrations. Beauty lovers will find a changemaking product inside every drawer and box. Bursting with beauty surprises made from hardworking, natural-origin ingredients, each calendar celebrates the positive changes happening in the communities of the brand’s global Community Fair Trade partners, including the artisans who craft some of the brand’s most iconic ingredients.
The ideal gift for the beauty lover or the self-care obsessed, The Body Shop Advent Calendars are perfect for treating yourself or someone special this festive season offering daily moments of self-love.
All three calendars are enriched with ingredients or created with packaging from partnerships around the world, from shea butter from Ghana, to gift paper from Nepal. The brand’s pioneering CFT programme exists to champion every artisan, farmer and producer involved in the production of The Body Shop products, by helping suppliers gain market access whilst also investing in social and environmental projects in many communities. With each calendar designed to be repurposed or recycled, you can rest assured your Advent is good for both you and the planet.
