The Body Shop International

You can’t walk past this place without being able to smell it, and I mean this in a good way! It’s based in the Kirkgate Centre and sells a range of products. They compete with their big rivals on the basis that there products are not tested on animals, so many of those who shop here do based on their belief in this being ethically correct. The staff here are always great. Really friendly and are willing to chat with you through your whole visit to the store. The only thing is that they seem to be overstaffed and a lot of the time there are 3 or 4 of them stood around with not much to do. The products they sell are pretty expensive but anything I have bought from here has been of great quality.

This is a really popular place based in kirkgate market. The smell alone is enough to make you go in — it smells lovely and enticing. You would think with this being next door to boots it wouldnt get much trade but they stock such different and more ethically produced stuff that they dont compete. The prices are quite dear but it is well worth it to buy the stuff that are much different than you can get elsewhere. They seem more special too. You can also buy these little tester post of different perfumes that you mix together to make your own smell. They are very unique. The staff are lovely and friendly and always very helpful.

The Body Shop, is located in the very popular very busy Kirgate Center of Bradford. It is located very close to the entrance that leads onto Darley street very close to the Marks and Spencer department store.
The Body was founded by a lady called Anita Roddick and the first shop was opened in 1976. They now have more than 2,000 world wide.
The body shop is popular with many people as not only do they sell great prouducts none of them are tested on animals.
The body shop is well known and a very good adition to the Kirgate center in my own opion. I love to come through the center via the Darley street enterance just to take in all the lovely smells that waft out from the shop.
The shop however is small but it is so well presented that you can easy find what you are looking for. The staff here are so helpfull and will even help you to find the perfect gift if you are sturggling.
This shop is not ideal for people on budgets as most of there products are quite expensive. However they are very nice and last a long time. I use the body shop when I have enought money as there products do not irrate my skin and as I have said before they are not tested on Animals.
I would highly recomend the White Musk range that they do. I know that when I am feeling down there is nothing like a White Musk bubble bath to perk me up. When I wear the White musk people always comment on the nice smell and it really boosts my confidence.
I just wish I had more money to spend in here.
