5 Products You Didn’t Know You Needed from The Body Shop

Let’s be honest, when you think of your skincare or bath-time routine, there are probably a few trusted staples you keep going back to. A gentle face wash, maybe a body lotion that smells like heaven, and if you're being really good, some sunscreen. But here’s the thing: every now and then, a product comes along that quietly transforms your routine. The kind that makes you wonder how did I live without this?

Now, you already know The Body Shop is all about ethically sourced, skin-loving ingredients and deliciously scented formulas. But beyond our cult favourites, there are a few underrated heroes waiting to be discovered. Whether you're in need of a skin refresh or just love a little beauty upgrade, here are five The Body Shop products you didn’t know you needed but absolutely will once you try them.

Vitamin C Glow Revealing Serum

You’ve probably heard the buzz around Vitamin C in skincare, and for good reason. If your skin's been looking dull, tired, or like it's stuck in a forever-winter mode, this glow-revealing serum is about to be your new BFF.

The Body Shop’s Vitamin C Serum is enriched with natural-origin Vitamin C and bakuchiol. With consistent use, your face will look fresher, smoother, and more even-toned—like you actually slept for 8 hours. Plus, it layers beautifully under moisturiser and sunscreen (hint: never skip the SPF!).

Skin Defence Multi-Protection Light Essence SPF 50 PA++++

Speaking of SPF, let’s talk about the best sunscreen for summer that doesn’t feel like one. Sticky, heavy sunblock? Not here.

This light essence offers high-level protection against UV rays and pollution, without clogging pores or leaving behind that dreaded white cast. It’s feather-light, absorbs in seconds, and gives your skin a hydrated, glowy finish. Whether you’re out running errands or just sitting by a sunny window, this is your go-to skin shield.

Vitamin E Gel Moisture Cream

Sometimes your skin just wants to drink water, and that’s what this lightweight moisturiser feels like. It’s packed with vitamin E for skin, which is known for its hydrating and antioxidant benefits.

Perfect for normal to dry skin, our Vitamin E Gel Moisture Cream gives you a cooling, soothing sensation upon application. It's non-greasy, super absorbent, and ideal for both summer and winter use.

Aloe Soothing Toner

Dry or sensitive skin and toner don’t always go hand in hand, but this one is different. If you’ve been on the hunt for the best toner for dry skin, meet your match.

Our Aloe Soothing Toner is alcohol-free and made with Community Fair Trade aloe vera from Mexico. It helps remove any leftover residue post-cleansing while calming redness and prepping your skin to soak up the rest of your routine.
