Love your body with the body butter from The Body Shop

Since 1992, The Body Shop launched the first ever Body Butter by The Body Shop Founder Dame Anita Roddick. The very first Mango Body Butter was given its name by her daughter who, while making a piece of toast, simply said “it’s like butter…for your body”. The rest is history.

Today, these iconic moisturisers are loved so much that one is sold every 3 seconds across the world. And these body-loving favourites just got even better.

The new Body Butters are now registered by The Vegan Society (a gold standard for vegan  certification), made with at least 95% ingredients of natural origin, love skin with 96-hour moisture and come in their most sustainable packaging yet made with 100% recycled plastic tubs.

Delivering 96 hours of intense moisture, their Body Butters leave your skin feeling soft and smooth without feeling sticky. In fact, in a The Body Shop study, over 90% users agreed the formula easily melts into skin and has a non-sticky feel and over 86% agreed the Body Butters made them feel good in their skin.

Love yourself with The Body Shop’s new, most nourishing and sustainable Body Butters ever for your skin type. There is Strawberry, British Rose, Pink Grapefruit, Satsuma for normal skin; Moringa, Mango and the new Avocado for dry skin; Shea, Coconut, Argan and Olive for very dry skin. There’s also Almond Milk for dry, sensitive skin.

THE BODY SHOP customers can join the Return, Recycle Repeat program in partnership with SM Cares. To be a part of the movement, simply return your Empty, Clean and Dry containers in any of THE BODY SHOP stores located in the malls and will handle the recycling for you.

The Body Shop, through a partnership with SM Cares’ Plastic Waste Collection Program, ensures that your participation helps avoid plastics from filling the oceans and adding to landfills. This is just the beginning of our plastic cycle and we can't wait to share with you more.

Give your body the love that it deserves with The Body Shop’s most nourishing and sustainable Body Butters ever. The new Body Butter is available at The Body Shop stores and on its online store www.thebodyshop.com.ph.

Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle seek justice in the latest trailer of The Batman. Robert Pattinson and Zoe Kravitz play the roles of this team up coming to Philippine theaters on March 2022.
Billionaire Mr. Wayne stalks the streets of Gotham City with a few trusted allies Alfred (Andy Serkis) and Lt. Gordon (Jeffrey Wright) amongst the city’s corrupt network of officials and high-profile figures, the lone vigilante has established himself as the sole embodiment of vengeance amongst his fellow citizens.

As the evidence begins to lead closer to home and the scale of the perpetrator’s plans becomes clear, Batman must forge new relationships, unmask the culprit, and bring justice to the abuse of power and corruption that has long plagued Gotham City. Watch the trailer below.

Starring alongside Robert Pattinson (“Tenet,” “The Lighthouse”) as Gotham’s famous and infamous cast of characters are Zoë Kravitz (“Big Little Lies,” “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald”); Paul Dano (“Love & Mercy,” “12 Years a Slave”); Jeffrey Wright (“No Time to Die,” “Westworld”); John Turturro (the “Transformers” films, “The Plot Against America”); Peter Sarsgaard (“The Magnificent Seven,” “Interrogation”) as Gotham D.A.

The amazing reunion in The Matrix Resurrections

The chemistry, the power…Watch the cast and filmmaker reflect on Neo and Trinity’s journey through the Matrix in the newly released vignette below. Don’t miss them reunite in Warner Bros. Pictures’ new action thriller “The Matrix Resurrections” in Philippine cinemas January 12.

Keanu Reeves (Neo) and Carrie-Ann Moss (Trinity)

Reeves reflects on the appeal of this new film, asking playfully, “So, what the heck is going on here? Isn’t Neo dead? Wasn’t there peace? I mean, in `Revolutions,’ the Machines stood down. They were gonna live and let live. They were gonna let people out of the Matrix. In Zion, people were dancing and cheering; everything seemed great... Well, what we’ll come to learn is that things didn’t quite go the way we thought. That was really intriguing.”

Another face fans of the films are no doubt eager to see return is that of Carrie-Anne Moss as Trinity. Moss feels a certain shift in reality with regards to the project, feelings that make her question her own placement in this world, real or simulated.

“People would always ask me ‘Is there going to be another Matrix?’” Moss recalls. “And I would think ‘No, absolutely not.’ Never in a million years did I ever think we would be doing this again. Sometimes I wonder if I’m actually in the Matrix doing The Matrix. Maybe this is my dream world, because it’s such an incredible experience.”


Moss concludes, “I think that the story is going to blow people’s minds. It’s interesting because there’s a whole group of people who have already seen the first films and another group that will get to discover the world of the Matrix for the first time, the younger generation. And it’s going to be very surprising.”

Watch the final trailer below and check out The Matrix Resurrections in cinemas tomorrow. From director Lana Wachowski and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures Philippines.
