Boycott The Body Shop

Nature watch (2013) is arguing consumers in the EU to boycott the Body Shop, a subsidiary of L’Oreal. The reason for this is that as much as the EU has implemented a cosmetics testing ban, the firm’s profits are used to fund L’Oreal’s operations in China through a research facility that tests products on animals. It urges consumers to boycott the firm because L’Oreal has shown impressive performance in China as revenues are above expectations and this reinforces the concern that the firm is indeed testing products on animals before selling them in China. Thus, consumers ought to shun the firm because of the same.
