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.
In 2021, the company recorded sales of around 23 million euros in Germany and employed more than 350 people. It 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.
