Oh is that where this mornings Livestream went??
@@peachxtaehyung it hasn’t yet! I’m starting totally new on there but I will have personal livestreams there as well
It's only available in the US right now 😔 I hope they open it up internationally soon
@@nonamepainter agreed. I know we are always being tracked on every site we go to, but something about this one feels off. I don’t understand why TH-cam memberships are off the table. They are personal too. I am not giving my credit card information to a website I have never heard of. If it takes off, then I will bite my tongue, but until then, I won’t be participating.
Will you ever cover timeshares? I heard there a scam. I don't know too much, but I've heard horror stories of their presentations to get people to buy in.
THANK YOU!!! I used to work at one of their shops in the mall before I knew how INCREDIBLY unethical they are.
omg no way! I always saw their products and thought they were so cute. Had noooo idea for so long
@@IsabellaLanter i have stories on how we were treated if you ever are interested 🙃
@mlmmm- literally same 😔
@@bonnieb4494 ugh I'm so sorry you went through that nightmare ❤️
@@mlmmm_no oh no! I'm sorry🌹
I literally just quit this job and I’m gonna say *allegedly* for safety butttt :
I was a manager for about 7 months and this is the most high stress low reward company I’ve ever worked for. I was physically assaulted by customers more than once and corporate did absolutely nothing. We had no security of any kind. We had a broken gate ( that was allegedly broken since mid 2010 ) that I had to fight with them to pay $1000 to fix. I could keep going but it’s honestly traumatizing to think about. In all if you love their products they honestly aren’t that good for you ( literally read the labels they aren’t clean at alll ) and the company is shady as hell. I quit because it caused me to have mental breakdown.
- also they never speak about the MLM in store at least in nyc, you are taught that it is strictly in the UK which is a lie, but they are completely separate entities as far as the US and their stores.
They also close stores on their employees with two weeks notice and *allegedly* make them clean out the store if the employees want to move to a new location/get their severance pay.
Wow, how awful. No one deserves such awful treatment. Sending you positivity 🙏🏾♥️
@@NatashaRaisorGlam I appreciate you 🫶🏽
Clean beauty is all just marketing and fear mongering
I was a manager and I never was able to take a break because I'd be by myself for my whole shift. If I closed the store to grab food or even use the restroom we could be written up. Had a manager from another store cover for ours while our GM was on leave. She tried firing all of us to get her friends in. And that doesn't even scratch the surface. I'm glad you left and I hope you heal
@@mlmmm_no glad you left as well hope you are better too ❣️
Love the video! Word of advice as a research student myself. When it comes to articles, most of the ones locked by a pay wall are by a journal that doesn’t pay the author. All money goes directly to the journal it is published in. So most authors are more than happy to send you the full PDF for free if you email the contact email in the article. It may not always work for older articles but it’s worth a shot if you ever have this problem again ☺️
I was going to say the same thing! You can also often get them through your local ibrary.
Oh my God! My friend's mom said The Body Shop was not a good company back in 2005ish, but I had no idea! I just took her word for it and never went there or looked further into it.
This one makes me so upset. I love the body shop! Here in Canada, they're stand-alone stores in almost every big mall, and their products are some of the only ones that don't cause my eczema flair up. They could be (and are) so successful as a brick and mortar retail store, I don't knit WHY they still have the mlm side.
I know it's so sad. Also, please don't feel like I'm trying to tell anyone to not buy from them because I totally get it. I think it's super important to have conversations about things so people can make educated decisions. And especially avoid the MLM side.
@Isabella Lanter oh no, I absolutely know you're not shaming anyone for shopping anywhere! It's just so frustrating as a consumer that a store I've been going to MY ENTIRE LIFE is also an mlm
Their Aloe Soothing Gel on sunburns tho 🤌🏻💋😅
They've only been an MLM in Canada since 2020, they had MLM branches in the UK and Australia for decades though. So a lot of people just assume they're a legit business and that side clearly is successful. But of course they make a lot of money quickly setting up a pyramid scheme, especially as they opened the MLM in the US and Canada just before covid and the huge spike in predators drooling over vulnerable scared people
I know the reference to "the body shop" in the song " Unholy" has nothing to do with a skincare mlm, but it always makes me giggle and agree righteously, "yes, there is something unholy at the body shop..."
Hi! Uk person here! Dame is pronounced like name and is a title awarded to someone as honour for major contribution/works in a field - hope that's helpful:)
Omg that I had noooo idea thank you for telling me this!!!!!
@Isabella Lanter no problem! Wild how she managed to get that title considering all of the shady practices but the video was great!
I was literally about to buy some body shop stuff from ulta last night and I thought “isn’t this an mlm or something?” Your timing is amazing
That’s insanely perfectly timed 😂😂 I will say some of my fav body butter companies are EOS and tree hut! I’ve had great success with those if you’re looking for some body products!
@@IsabellaLanter very much I’m the market for some body products! I’ll try EOS! I loved their little lip balm when I was younger lol
@@OurLadyLaLa my go to is the vanilla cashmere! I’ve plowed through probably 10 bottles of that shit 💀😂 so good
@@IsabellaLanter yes yes yes to tree hut! I’ve been impressed with tree hut. Their sugar scrubs are amazing along with all other products. I highly recommend Peach Sorbet in the sugar scrub. It looks to be a seasonal scent from the brand and it smells amazing!
10:46 Please don’t buy articles. Save money. Request them from interlibrary loan. Your local reference librarian can help. No individual should be paying for articles. If you can’t get a free copy from Google Scholar request it from your library. :)
wow, i always thought it was just a regular company. it’s crazy to think but makes me wonder what other major companies are mlms
I have sadly found a few more that I had noooo idea were connected to the MLM world. It's insane
I’m Australian and I just took a look into this as I had NO idea! Their MLM entity here is known as ‘Body Shop at Home’ where they offer independent consultant opportunities or hosting parties. WOW. I am shook
Me too! I had no idea it had an MLM branch. Would not know in Australia.
Recommendations: While we're all here.... does anyone have a good suggestions for lotions/body creams that they like???
I really liked them in the 90s. Thank you for this research, I was so sad to hear they went MLM.
Thank you so much for being here! I know it’s so rough
Me too. I was in my teens in the 90s and their tea tree stuff saved me from the inevitable teenager acne.
My roommate was crazy about their mango body butter, and I bought endless amounts of that strawberry shower cleanser with the actual strawberry seeds in it.
I was gonna say the same thing, back in the 90’s the body shop was my jam lol. I was as obsessed with their products, I was haulin at the body shop before hauls were a thing 😹 at camp the kids I watched called me Strawberry cuz I smelled like strawberries 🍓 ugh I use to love their scented oils
I used to work there, and where do I even start. The racism, the discrimination, rudeness, bullying, ect. I would literally have nightmares of being late because one time I was 1 MINUTE LATE meaning that I was on the floor one minute late, and the manager would write Me up. I was called disrespectful for standing up for myself after my assistant manager attacked me and made fun of my religion. They would schedule me on school nights knowing I can’t do it, and on sunny days purposely so I don’t go out. They are literally monsters.
FYI: The founder’s name is Anita Roddick. ‘Dame’ (pronounced dAY-m) is a British title awarded to those who have made an impact in some way, usually to do with charity, enterprise or community work (it’s like the equivalent of a knighthood).
Great video as always! Been waiting for someone to discuss the Body Shop as it’s huge in the UK (there are actual brick-and-mortar stores and many don’t realise it also operates as an MLM) ❤
I can't believe she's a Dame. Dame Maggie Smith, Dame Julie Andrews; that makes sense. This... does not make sense.
i’m surprised she’s a been given that title, especially given the controversies of the brand.
@@laur83 I think she advocated a lot for women’s rights and animal welfare initially and it got the business noticed. It was actually held up as an ethical company and a pioneer in terms of corporate social responsibility (I looked at a case study on it during my Master’s degree). The controversies and unethical behaviour went relatively unnoticed until recently.
As a British person, had a smol chuckle at the “Daamé” pronunciation (said with love!) but agreed, hiss boo how did she get a damehood!? She has a very interesting history for sure *cough* Lush Cosmetics *cough*👀
@@thelottieingham this makes sense. thank you!
As a teen, I remember walking by this store in the mall. I can't believe that this is an MLM. I have to be careful with what I use now more than ever because of psoriasis.
I can confirm that the body shop at home in Australia will close on 23rd February. The brick and mortar stores still remain.
Girl! I Just found you and LOVE your content! Thanks for getting me through my workday 🤗💕
I had no idea this was an mlm .. just thought it was a UK company that had a decent ethos.. I'm shook
Your content is literally my favorite at the moment!!
Finally someone is talking about this. I used to love their body butters but since I learned more about mlm I avoid it and tell everyone else to do the same. Thank you for your video ❤
I worked in a Body Shop mall store in Toronto, Canada in 1989. They were immensely popular. Idk why they would need MLM.
Hi! I went to watch your Livestream earlier and it was gone so I was sad cuz I completely missed it. But I'm glad to see the new video!
Hey angel thanks for being here. I'm hoping to do more soon to stay tuned!!
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE
The body shop store in our bougie mall pulled out. It's gone. 😂😂😂 i do miss their aloe line though
Whoa. When I was a kid we'd go to the body shop store in our local mall. I had no idea it was an MLM. The store disappeared in the early 2000s and I never thought much else of it.
bestie i love your videos like this!!! whyyyyy are so many companies so messy i seriously had no idea
Ahhhh thank you Angel ily! I know it’s a crazy world we live in
As an elder millennial who used to dip in there all the time at the mall back in the day, I am shook.
Thank you for this! I had no idea and have been buying from them for months! I'm so embarrassed 🤦♀️
I hate it when people steal from other small businesses!! I love using tea tree range of Body shop. Thanks for sharing!
TBS in UK always has (used to have?) 40% sale/discount codes all year round. Makes you wonder what’s the actual value of the products and ingredients that they use if they can afford to do this…
I am an Aussie and the first time I heard about the mlm side was in 2013, never knew it existed before (we have stores everywhere though). A colleague from work became a distributor and it was her first party. I already hated mlms, but felt I should go to "support" her. I did warn her I wasnt planning on buying anything, as my wedding was coming up and money was tight...she completely understood. After the party finished, the buying part came up and there was a body spray I liked, so I decided to get it. Well, her upline lady was so rude that I was only purchasing one small item! She said this was my friends first party and I should support her more and in my head I'm thinking...this is why I dont go to these parties! Thankfully my friend was fine with it and explained my situation, but the lady's face did not like it one bit. Needless to say, I haven't been to another one and haven't heard of the mlm side of it since. I am shocked there is still an mlm side though, because it is easier to purchase online or in store.
I do love their hemp handcream. I have tried a lot of different handcreams, and none have ever matched how well this one works...but I buy it in store or online as needed, which is also rare.
Wow. I had NO idea! I’ve never really shopped there but geez! This is so wild!
i’m from a small place in canada and here, the body shop has always just been a store in the mall- i’ve always heard rumours that they were an mlm but was never sure if it was true so thank u for this 😩
Wht is mlm?
Hi Isabella. British watcher here :) The Body shop is a very big company in the UK. We have shops for them. I have unfortunately been caught up in this MLM before and they work the same way as 'parties'. It is so easy to get sucked into this and I know many friends who are body shop 'consultants'. Its conducted over facebook and you can get stuck. I once purchased the 'starter kit' which was about £50 which I then NEVER got back! I don't mess with them anymore and I discourage my friends and family shopping there.
I wore their peach oil in the 90's. It was my favorite.
I worked seasonally as a consultant for The Body Shop 2 times in the last 5-6 years. I know of this information now, but I honestly had no idea when i worked for them. The location I worked at was a part of a mall, in Canada, and I guess I was lucky to work for a store that wasn't toxic, and didn't push us to drive sales--especially during the busy holiday season. One thing that did strike me was when we'd get Groupon vouchers, and there was a whole discrepency about how to redeem them. I also remember asking my manager how the company makes a profit with all these crazy discounts and deals and she just shrugged and told me she had no idea lol
O GIRL, i love the body shop :') thank you for educating us
I worked for the body shop flagship store at bond Street,London, they give u a team briefing before you start and tell u individually how high or low your sales and points card conversion are and push you everyday to force customers to to get a points card you literally have to make sure u give customers a points card or it goes against your conversion chart on your till login number, they push u to sell ,sell , sell and are constantly pressurising you, and threaten you with diseplineries as points cards and average transactions are classed as part of your job and say that if its low then your not doing your job properly, but they put you in different zones Example till for 3 hours, so it doesnt make sense as if your on the till you cant control who is advising customers what to buy as your not allowed to move off the till, we lernt that it costs the company 90pence to make a full tub of body butter but sell it to customers for 15.00, all they care about is money money money nothing is ever good enough, each store is in competition with the next. Overall it was an extremely toxic place to work and im so so happy they have gone into recession, thats what you get for being greedy horrible & money grabbing, they act like you work for chanel in harrods its an absolute joke
truthfully, only 30 seconds into the video I'm so confused because to me I know it's just a store in the mall I work in/ have shopped there for YEARS - at the same time I'm so very intrigued so I can't wait to hear what you have to say!!
Well damn. I used to love shopping there when I went to the mall. I appreciate the intel!!!! Another one bites the dust
There was a one that shut down near me and before it did everything was 50%off I bought the vitamin E sleeping mask and the coconut body butter! Never knew these stuff always thought it was a brilliant self care store!
Thank you for your commentary. I understand that TBS is now B Corp accredited.
I didn’t even know that this was an MLM 😢I love the body butter 🧈
My mom and I were part of the MLM side of the business back in the early 2000s. We used love the products and were bamboozled into to thinking this was a great opportunity. We did well at first selling however the rewatds were low and operating costs were high as we often did pedicure parties in which you constantly needed to replenish inventory for. We never were interested in the recruiting side of things. This was well before I was educated on this business model. We left because the company would often compete with their consultants in which customers could get better deals in store than shopping with a consultant. I am glad that was my first and last MLM experience. Never again!
Thank you for this. I know of at least two brick and mortar stores in my province and I'm pretty wise when it comes to spotting mlm companies but I had no idea that The Body Shop was one. I have also bought products from them not knowing. They were okay products. But nothing super special.
I see a lot of these products at Marshall’s and T.J. Maxx…….
I remember buying stuff - great stuff - from the Body Shop in Berkeley in the early eighties and then a few years later they were gone, then I came across Roddick’s Body Shop and being so confused. I never understood - until now.
It makes me feel like a dinosaur to have The Body Shop be talked about as an Ulta brand, when I still picture the stand alone stores 😅. Getting older amiright? Also had no idea about the MLM!
i’ve been fuckin’ BAMBOOZLED. I used to love them. I went to their stores in the UK all the time. Their products got harder to find in the US so I stopped but WHAT THE HELL MAN???
Years ago, like 15-20 years ago, I was given a few products from The Body Shop as a holiday gift from one of my parents’ friends. (If I’m honest I didn’t use much of the products, but I think that had more to do with the scents they chose than anything else.) I have seen the brick and mortar stores and never thought anything of it, I just thought it was like any other store that sold soap, lotion, etc. until I started consuming anti-MLM content over the last couple years and that’s when I realized that I could’ve gotten roped into supporting an MLM at like 12. I’ve never been so grateful for not particularly liking the scent of watermelon
Hi Isabella. I know this is an older video, but if you encounter an article that's locked behind a paywall, it doesn't hurt to ask the author if they are willing to send it to you, especially if the publication is older. Publishers that lock science articles or studies especially, rarely compensate the researchers properly, and more often than not, are happy to forward their work to interested people.
Her name is just Anita Roddick, she was given OBE 1988 and then made a Dame by the Queen in 2003.
I loved The Body Shop in the early 90's! This is so sad.
I was a consultant in the early 2000s. I made a couple of hundred a month doing parties. It was really time consuming and my upline pretty much ignored me because I didn’t want to recruit. I eventually left. They did close down shortly after Anita passed away. I was very upset when they relaunched the MLM again a few years ago. I’m not surprised they closed it again.
The body shop at home has recently changed in the UK. People can sell products and get their 35% (I think) commission but there’s no more recruitment.
I just recently quit the body shop this year and lemme tell you that the upper management is a mess! Also my store manager was verbally abusive and would consistently break rules and would gaslight everyone to agree with her. After i had a fallout with her, she threw me under the bus as her full time and gave me less hours because "they were cutting hours all around" but she still maintained her 40 hour work week. My check in the beginning was $1300 bi-weekly and by the end of my 2 years with the company my last check was $600. They are the most unethical and cruel running bodycare store. Also they refuse to update the stores especially where i was located because "the heater is just not worth closing the store for a week". I have so much tea on this company and i am sooooo glad i no longer work there.
I LOVED The Body Shop in the US in the 1990’s, but they disappeared in my area. Now in England it’s been a life saver because Bath and Bodywork’s is not accessible.Just learned they had individual consultants (MLM)here too.
I heard about the MLM side, but I had no idea it's been for that long and all the other shady stuff, yikes
I worked for the body shop 15 years ago and we were told not to say anything negative about the company and lie or that's you gone
omg I had no idea about any of this
20:50 I can't believe that an *employee discount* is listed as "earnings." I know the The Body Shop isn't the only company that tries to pass off employee discounts as "earnings" rather than a *discount* but come on. Savings =/= earnings. If a consultant chooses to not buy any products for themselves, does that count as "earning" too??
I actually ended up at an awkward “party” for Body Shop several years ago. It didn’t make sense to sell direct to my friends when they could walk into the mall and purchase without giving me a dime. I enjoyed the products but competition with a brick and mortar seemed ludicrous. 🤷🏾♀️
I used to shop there as a young teenager in the malls, It was my body care place before I discovered Bath and body works. But, even till this day I never knew it was one of the mLMs.
Wow I never knew the shady history behind the body shop! I used to be a die hard fan for them but I couldn’t get over them selling the business to L’Oréal as it went against everything they stood for.
In the U.K. it’s called the Body Shop at Home and if it was actually designed as a social selling get commission for the products you recommend I would have probably been sucked in to it as I was a die hard fan on the products before they sold to L’Oréal.
I don’t understand the reasoning behind a brand that has such a massive physical and online presence moving into the MLM world even if it’s the exact same product I would rather buy it from the store or online that through a rep!
At Québec Canada we use to had stores on malls and I use to shop there it was like a bath and Body Shop. One day it just close
they also used to sell Body Shop stuff at Bath & Body Works back in the day and some of the scents were overpowering for me as I have very sensitive skin and have had mild to moderate eczema from age 9 the main places I have flare ups are on the back of my neck and under my breasts
It’s crazy I live in the UK and never had anyone approach me about selling or buying body shop products.. only Avion skincare brand. Interesting
I liked them in the 1980s to early 1990s, it lost the “feel” it once had and the colourings make up Brand was no more
The owner was a, “Shero.”When I grew up in the 80”s. My mom would drive us an hour away to get Body Shop because she thought it was an ethical woman owned company🤦🏾♀️
Riddick was a thief. And made millions, off two people's idea.
Wow, I didn't know that about them. I thought it was just a normal store. I used to see TH-camrs show this in their videos. There were never in any Body Shop stores by me, so thankfully I never purchased anything.
I went to the body shop so much as a kid! I doubt my mom had any idea how awful they were. She definitely was just falling for their greenwashing!
Omg me at the mall ,my boyfriend got this for me has a gift but I always felt something off with this brand
Hey lovely! I think her name is just Anita Roddick. Dame (pronounced "day-mm") is a title. 😁 Great content as usual though!
Hey 😊 I'm new to your channel.... do you have any plans of doing any videos on pampered chef?
Can you do Arbonne next?
I am in the process of watching the video, but just from the intro and the Ulta part: are The Body Shop butters considered affordable in the US?! They are quite expensive to me...
I find it strange that they've stopped using the MLM structure in the US and carried on with it in the UK. I'm from the UK and have known a fair few people get involved with various MLMs, but the focus for those people always does seem to be mostly on selling the products and hardly anyone I know has ever really gotten into the recruitment side of things. Maybe they'll eventually start phasing out the MLM structure in other countries as well in time. We can only hope.
I work at Ulta and I didn't even know that they was/are a MLM. I bought their body stuff once and honestly it wasn't even that good in my opinion. but thank you for this information
I thought I'd heard their MLM side was being closed down? The only perfume I can stand to use is their vanilla (so many perfumes give me massive headaches or bad allergic reactions, so I can't even risk scentbird). They've been sold out of that for it looks like years. I have maybe 1/3 of the last bottle I bought from them years ago. They still haven't restocked it and I don't know how I feel about that. I will miss having the perfume, but then again, I'm not supporting an MLM. (I only ever bought direct from them, not through the MLM side.) I hadn't bought anything since I had heard they were an MLM, but didn't toss out products that were still good. lol I'm cheap like that.
I had no idea, wow. 🧐
PLEASE look into something called “pain away”. I’m pretty sure it’s a new MLM, my colleagues are getting sucked into it SO FAST it’s scary
So, I'm interested in knowing more about it because not too long ago, my mom received a body butter from the body shop, which is strange because all of their stores disappeared here in Mexico. So, I asked and she told me it's because it was gifted alongside a Natura product which is another MLM from Brazil I believe. I wonder if Natura bought them or they are the same thing just a different name because they do sell all allegedly natural products. 🤔
Hi, long answer here from ex employee* because these bitches are shady in the simplest things too😅
They are owned by natura since 2017 or 2018 I believe; not sure about the year specifically because they were training us with slideshows on the store’s pc (we couldn’t have photocopies of the slides etc so we can read stuff at home too, shady imo 🤠) and as far as I can remember they didn’t really touch that much on that natura thing either.
The slide -again, as far as I can remember- only said that natura is Brazil-based, natural products yada-yada and that the company owns tbs, Avon (shocker..) and aesop 👁️.
Take that as you will 🤭
*I was working for a year at tbs in Greece btw, it’s not as crazy as in the other countries, we don’t have the MLM thing here, but still pretty shady stuff is happening (as always in this country ☠️). The trainings were just slideshows on shift and that’s it. At least when I was in sephora I could have access to training material as a revision etc.
Man. As a Canadian I had no idea the body shop had an mlm side. Wtf.
I actually like their stuff it doesn't flair my eczema up. Dang it. It also smells really good. It makes me mad they are being sleazy with it's marketing and selling tactics. 😢
like I didn't think they were struggling. They have been in our mall since I was a kid. I'm turning 34 this year haha. 😅
Their aloe toner was a pretty good product in my opinion
Your not wrong, actually when i worked there up until recently, the company has been pouring their resources and time in the Canadian market because that market makes the most profits since last year. As of 2023 to my knowledge there are less than 15ish stores in the U.S now. They recently closed stores in the chicagoland, denver and in michigan. They keep their marketing pretty simple and expect the employees to be walking advertisments in and out of work. Their products are great but their upper management continously violate and abuse the store employees.
Dang it!!! I didn’t know they were an MLM. They have a shop at the mall in Vegas and their CBD chap stick works so good. Any dupes that actually work?
I used to love the Body Shop (UK). I had no idea they were an MLM until a colleague became a “Body Shop Consultant”. I thought it was convenient because there wasn’t a shop anywhere near me, but it was cheaper to order online myself!
This was always one of the mall stores that gave me a headache 😩
One of my all time favorite perfumes is from The Body Shop. It’s discontinued now, but it was Neroli Jasmine. If anyone knows a good dupe.. please let me know!!!
This one kinda surprised me to be honest. I used to always buy their little jars of lip balm cause I loved the fruity scents they had. And the store was in the shopping center I went in with my fam. So it was an easy detour for a bit more fancy feeling little thing. I had no idea of any of this, which in away is kinda eye opening...You never really know anything about brands on the outside as just an average dude. Makes me kind of think what other 'better choices' could I make in life without ever knowing I am making the...not so ideal choice with my money.
Naturally as the world is now, it is complex to ever make a perfect choice cause it feels like everything has something sus going on.
i had nooooo idea??
10:48 Hey Isabella (or anyone for that matter) if you are trying to read a research article that is behind a pay wall, you can email one of the authors and they will usually send you a pdf of it for free.
"Dame" is a title btw, like the female version of Sir (Sir Elton John for example).
I remember walking into a store one time and they had this booklet out for people to sign to support against animal testing or something. I hope to god I didn't bother to write in it but I remember my friend did. 🤮 I never have step foot in there at my own will or ever bought something myself, only when others decided to go there I'd follow them...
Oh shizz😳my favourite scent is satsuma and grapefruit, both body shop scents. I also use the liquid stain on my cheeks. When I was a teen I adored the scent oils especially oceana...right I'm buckling the f up for this 😬
I’m sorry I love you so much but I lost it at “dahmeh” 😂😂
I used to shop there!
What the actual heck I had no idea they were an mlm!?
Here in the UK The Body Shop have been on The Highstreet in Their Own Stores 4Ever! Were Cruelty Free (B4 anyone else was) Affordable, Good quality, with gr8 Offers & Customer Service. I Never knew they were an MLM!! I used to Shop there a lot & No one Ever tried to Recruit me!! So as MLMs (which I Detest) Go, it seems 2b Separate from the high street stores. I’m disgusted to hear the Lies behind the company though. I haven’t shopped there for about 8 Years & I won’t be Again!!
I’m glad it’s flounded. Anita was great - caring about animals - she was vegetarian like me and her products were second to none. After her cancer diagnosis and sale of the business it was just a front for inferior product that traded on the name.
