This month, The Body Shop revealed the closure of all its stores in the United States after filing for bankruptcy.

The Canadian subsidiary, The Body Shop Canada Limited, is actively exploring restructuring options, with its 105 store locations currently remaining open for business, as stated in the company’s official announcement.

However, 33 of these locations have initiated liquidation sales as part of the bankruptcy proceedings, and online sales in Canada have ceased, The Hill reported.

The Body Shop, recognized as a pioneering beauty brand with a commitment to cruelty-free and ethical beauty products, was founded by human rights activist Anita Roddick and holds the distinction of being one of the earliest cosmetic companies to ban animal testing of its products.
