Today I attended The Body Shop, one of the 21st Century’s most iconic and pioneering Brand's grand unveiling of a new beauty movement – called Beauty With Heart – that will inspire individuals everywhere and transform the boundaries of beauty.
"Beauty With Heart places emphasis on a beauty experience that is more than skin-deep, putting a human stamp on beauty and empowering people the world over to Look Good, Feel Good And Do Good. Beauty with Heart is our latest brand platform that connects with younger generations of consumers, keeping the values intact"
Beauty With Heart will spring to life through a new store experience called Pulse. The experiential store will highlight the radical products in a revamped form with attractive and stylish packaging.
Shriti Malhotra COO The Body Shop India anchored the event and shared the brand history & brand ethos.
Talking about the bringing the revolutionary beauty movement into India, Shriti Malhotra said, “2012 is a landmark year for us. We will complete 25 years of Community Fair Trade which incidentally started from Madurai in India. We celebrated our 6 year anniversary; starting this journey in India in 2006 we are now present in around 30 cities with over 80 stores. We are excited to launch ‘Beauty with Heart’ and we hope to create a unique and memorable experience that will engage, educate and inform our customers through this movement”.
The Body Shop states "We travel to all four corners of the globe to make sure that we buy the highest quality, natural ingredients for our products.
But the way we do this is different from other beauty companies. As a pioneer in Community Fair Trade, The Body Shop improves and enriches the lives of the people all around the world."

And finally to the grand unveiling of the new The Body Shop Pulse store
PULSE: WHAT IS IT?
Interactive, forward-thinking and focused on beauty and community, our new Pulse boutiques are set to bring The Body Shop to a whole new generation of beauty-centric, values-savvy individuals.
Incorporating cutting edge design, top quality materials and natural imagery, the boutique-style Pulse store creates a warm, welcoming space to excite and enthuse people about The Body Shop products and Values.
Taking centre stage in every Pulse store are two natural, wooden Story Selling Tables containing products, make-up and a ‘create your own gift’ area. Acting as a dedicated interactive ‘island’ which invites customers to touch, smell and test products, the tables are a place for people to engage with store teams, discover new products and learn about The Body Shop Values.
What do you think about the new Pulse store? I think its a brilliant concept and I'm looking forward to trying tons and buying some goodies...TBS Pulse store here I come!
