  • The Body Shop
    OnLine Case 5.1 The Body Shop The Body Shop, which sources and retails (directly and through franchises) naturally inspired lotions and cosmetics, has been a highly successful business with a price to earnings ratio which stayed well above the retail sector average throughout the 1980s, before declining as a result of expansion and increased competition. Until 1999, The Body Shop also manufactured at least half of the products it sold. The Body Shop was started in England in 1976 by Anita Roddick and her husband Gordon, as a means of supporting Anita and their two daughters while Gordon went to fulfill a dream, riding horseback across the Americas. Gordon helped Anita get a bank loan of £4000 to open the first shop – a family friend, Ian McGlinn also chipped in £4000 - and shortly afterwards, while Gordon was away, the first franchise was agreed. Stores have subsequently been opened in over 50 countries – there are now over 2000 stores – and The Body Shop was floated on the UK Stock Exchange in 1984. Well renowned for its environmental and ethical stance and strategies, The Body Shop has made an impact around the world. ‘If you think you are too small to have an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito’ (Anita Roddick). Anita’s motivation for starting the business she did was always influenced by her personal commitment to education and to the environment and social change. Through The Body Shop, her talent for entrepreneurism was channelled into a cause. It has, though, always been an interesting question as to whether Body Shop was started as a retail business with particular values or as a means of pursuing an ethical crusade.

  • Livers of Sharks, Especially Deepwater Shark Species Which Are Especially Vulnerable Theto Overfishing and Often Endangered
    AN EXCLUSIVE STUDY BY BLOOM March 2015 Shark in our beauty BEAST creams and the Beauty Shark in our beauty BEAST creams Some cosmetic brands still use a substance derived from the liver of sharks in the blends of moisturizing creams. In 2012,and BLOOM carried out a worldwide study on the use of shark squalane, a substance extracted from the livers of sharks, especially deepwater shark species which are especially vulnerable theto overfishing and often endangered. The study revealed that the cosmetics sector was the main consumer of animal squalane, even though plant substitutes derived from sugar cane or olive were available. The report pointed to the urgency for corporations to take their environmental responsibility seriously and to modify their supply chain in order to exclusively use plant squalane. Two years later, in 2014, BLOOM proceeded to carry out the largest test ever made on commercial creams to identify the presence of shark squalane in them. In total, BLOOM tested 72 moisturizing creams whose list of ingredients mentioned “squalane”. Labels did not specify whether the squalane was animal-based (shark) or plant-based (olive or sugarcane). Ten creams out of 72 did not contain a sufficient volume of squalane altogether to identify its origin, but results were robust for 62 of the products tested. As a conclusion, one moisturizing cream out of five contains shark squalane. It appearsBeauty that a high proportion of Asian brands still use shark squalane while Western brands, although still massively concerned by this issue in 2012, have globally shifted away from using shark substances.
