Does The Body Shop have microplastics?

The short answer

Ingredient-name records cannot give The Body Shop a brand-wide particle or safety verdict. Open Beauty Facts has 122 tagged entries in this export: 24 with nonempty declared ingredient text and 98 without it. These are contributed database records, not an independently verified current catalog. Product, variant and market matter.

Check ingredient names on your label

Method correction · October 6, 2026. The earlier directory ranked brands by “flagged polymers” and described zero matches as clean. That vocabulary included nonpolymer subjects, and its API sample stopped at 100 entries per brand. Those percentages and safety implications are withdrawn.

The replacement reviews declared text in the October 6 Open Beauty Facts export. All current export rows were scanned for the existing 62 directory tags. This is crowdsourced database coverage, not a manufacturer catalog, current-package verification or laboratory testing. A reference-name match does not establish particles; no match does not establish absence.

Read the method and download the records. Every label remains pending validation against its exact package, product and market. The export date does not establish the date of a formula or label photo.

Keep the product and source dates separate

This review used the official export released 2026-10-06T00:18:38.000Z. A product code can span older and newer labels, and a database-edit date can describe any field. We have not independently checked each package image, every ingredient transcription or current manufacturer formula. Match your exact label, variant and market before carrying a name across records.

The original directory’s “clean” and high/low brand percentages are withdrawn. The replacement measures text coverage and recognized reference names. It cannot establish how much of an ingredient is present, whether it is a particle, how much is released or absorbed, a regulatory exemption or a health effect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does The Body Shop use microplastics?

This directory cannot establish that for the brand or every product. It has 122 records tagged The Body Shop, including 24 with declared ingredient text and 98 without it. Recognized ingredient names do not establish solid particles, contamination or product safety. Check the exact package and market.

Which ingredient names are recognized in The Body Shop records?

Frequent reference-name matches include Glycerin (15 records); Cetearyl Alcohol (8 records); Carbomer (4 records); PEG-100 Stearate (4 records); PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil (4 records). The vocabulary includes nonpolymer subjects and other references, is incomplete and remains under individual source review. These are name matches, not microplastic counts.

Is The Body Shop safe to use?

These crowdsourced label records cannot determine safety, dose or health effects. A name match is a prompt to review the specific ingredient and formula, not a high-risk score. The ingredient references distinguish source-reviewed information from pending entries; do not treat a reference link as independent validation of a product.

How current are these labels?

The official export was released on October 6, 2026 and this directory method was reviewed on October 6. That does not establish when a label was photographed, whether a formula changed or which package is currently sold. Database-edit timestamps can concern any record field. Complete-list validation against exact packages remains pending.

Can I reproduce the record counts?

Yes. Download this brand’s JSON for 122 records, source URLs, declared text, availability and name matches. The full directory download preserves provenance fingerprints and original brand tags. Codes are deduplicated without collapsing shades into formulas. One product can have several brand tags, so brand totals cannot be added as unique products.

Use the label you have

Paste the exact list into the web checker to find recognized references. Review their identity and source status; unmatched names, formulation properties and contamination remain unknown. A label scan cannot supply a laboratory result or personal risk score.
