Careers at The Body Shop
The Body Shop was founded by entrepreneur Dame Anita Roddick, when in 1976 she started selling around 25 hand-mixed naturally inspired products with minimal packaging from one small shop in Brighton, England.
Over the years Anita and The Body Shop have run campaigns against human rights abuses, protecting animals and the environment and shown commitment to boosting self-esteem, winning the support of a generation of consumers.
The first Australian store opened in Melbourne in 1983 – since then we’ve opened more than 90 stores across Australia. Customers are at the forefront of everything we do, say and deliver. We strive to create a fantastic experience for everyone who works with us.

OUR PURPOSE – We exist to fight for a fairer, more beautiful world
This is our purpose, and it drives everything we do. We believe in the beauty of the planet and the good in people, but our world needs work. Nature is suffering at our hands, whole species are become extinct in our lifetimes, and our society remains desperately, deeply unfair and unequal. Our founder, Dame Anita Roddick, built The Body Shop to fight for what is good, and just, and beautiful. Today, this fight is still at the heart of everything we do.
OUR BELIEFS
Business can be a force for good.
Everyone is beautiful.
Fighting to empower women and girls.
