Beauty And Retail Insiders Offer The Body Shop's New Owner Suggestions For How To Revive The Storied Chain
In 2006, L’Oréal acquired The Body Shop, and Natura picked it up 11 years later from L’Oréal. Aurelius, which describes itself as a “specialist for complex investments with operative improvement potentials,” is taking over a global network of around 800 stores that’s been weakened in recent years by The Body Shop’s slumping sales and brand deterioration.
