The Body Shop was founded by Anita Roddick, who opened the first store in Brighton in 1976. The company was set up to create and sell natural products for the increasingly environmentally aware consumer of the late 1980s. Its products were not tested on animals, and were produced without harming the environment, and the brand espoused values such as fair trade and protecting human rights. This poster was produced in 1990 to advertise The Body Shop's scheme to refill its toiletry containers rather than selling products in new ones. It features the text 'Once is not enough' and, in keeping with the organisation’s ethos, is printed on recycled paper.
