The Body Shop has also gone bankrupt in Germany. The company The Body Shop Germany GmbH submitted a corresponding application to the Düsseldorf District Court on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, the British subsidiary applied for creditor protection proceedings. It was expressly stated that businesses in other countries would not be affected. The Body shop was one of the first companies to focus on ethically produced cosmetics and skin care products and to avoid animal testing in the production of their products. The brand previously belonged to the French group L'Oréal.
