2010-11-11

EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND, November 11, 2010 (Press-News.org) The Body Shop has announced its 'Create an Original' competition, offering customers the chance to join the Body Shop ranks and create their own product.

The beauty business has been dominated for years by amazing men and women whose original ideas have led to the launch of fabulous products, featuring both incredible and quirky scents and enhancing the everyday lives of the public. Now customers who believe they have what it takes to join the Body Shop ranks can enter a new competition which offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for one individual to work with The Body Shop team in the UK and create a new product for people around the world to discover. The company launched this international competition to coincide with the introduction of two Body Shop originals that will help spark nostalgic fragrance memories, namely the new special edition Raspberry Ripple Bath & Shower Gel and Watermelon Body Lotion.

Under auspices of Body Shop founder, Dame Anita Roddick, the original beauty products from The Body Shop have achieved iconic status internationally. For the chance to win, customers can enter the competition online at the Body Shop website with November 30th 2010 being the closing date for entries. Along with their original scent, customers are encouraged to share the story behind their scent suggestion and it could be bottled into a limited edition shower gel sold internationally.

The three people whose scents are shortlisted, will be whisked away to spend three nights in London in January 2011, with a friend. There they will become personally involved in bringing the original idea to life, spending time with The Body Shop product development team. Whether crowned the winner or not, each person shortlisted will also receive a supply of their fragranced shower gel to enjoy in the comfort of their home.

The original, natural and ethical beauty brand will make sure that the winning product is enriched with Community Fair Trade aloe vera. The pioneering Community Fair Trade programme now benefits over 25,000 people from marginalised communities around the world.
