GETTING REAL WITH BEAUTY BUSINESS!

Global cosmetic store chain, the Body Shop International – a global manufacturer and retailer of naturally inspired, ethically produced beauty and cosmetics products – is eyeing the Indian market like never before, with a view to get it all dressed up. Presently, there are five Body Shop stores in India (two in Delhi and one each in Gurgaon, Jaipur and Mumbai); by the end of 2008, the company plans to open 45 more stores in the country. Plans are afoot to tap the tier-II cities in India as well; and why not, given that they are waking to the endless possibilities of cosmetic make-over! Founded in the UK in 1976 by Dame Anita Roddick, the Body Shop has over 2,100 stores in 55 countries, with a range of over 1,200 products, all animal cruelty free, and many with fairly traded natural ingredients. In India, Quest Retail Private is the franchise partner of Body Shop.
