I'm not at all sure how I feel about this. I've been shopping at the Body Shop for years now, and I love their attitude and their products. I don't have anything against L'Oreal, particularly (although I will say that I'm not at all keen on animal testing for cosmetics, which they have yet to ban), but I don't like to think how The Body Shop might change for the worse in the hands of a huge cosmetics corporation...
