The Body Shop has been producing quality products for about as long as I’ve been alive. There are amazing products to suit every skin type, taste and budget with a range of great fragrances and always a sensational seasonal selection of gift packs to make your gift buying simple.

This Christmas The Body Shop has gone one step further and partnered with NGO International Alert to create the Play for Peace Campaign. Every gift purchased through the Christmas season from the seasonal gift collections will help refugee children affected by war in Syria heal through play.

International Alert’s Peace Play project  – which is implemented with the organisation Basmeh and Zeitooneh – supports refugee children and uses recreational and creative activities to help these children deal with trauma and to understand their experiences of conflict.

Every purchase from The Body Shop’s seasonal gift collection will help support the project for one year in a refugee camp in Lebanon, therapeutic activities will take place in a safe haven community. Syrian refugee children have little access to treatment for the trauma they experienced and some struggle to remember life before violence and loss. This program provides a safe space to play and be children again.

Ajak Deng, Sudanese refugee now international fashion model said: “Being a refugee myself, I am proud to be partnering with The Body Shop Australia for the ‘Play for Peace’ project, and to be able to share my own story so people can better understand the true plight of refugees.   I want to use my own experience to educate others about a very real issue that – in one way or another – really does affect all of us.”

The Body Shop has always been a great advocate for global issues and involving customers in making a stand. The brand is proudly against animal testing and always has been.
