yes, and a sizable chunk of L'Oreal is owned by Nestlé !

has anyone thought this through properly?

Without getting into a political discussion on a4u (I'll leave that for other places), I don't buy Nestlé products, and I now won't be buying Body Shop products either. Shame, I've been using some of their products for about two decades! Oh well, time for a change I guess.

ooohh

"Body Shop - with its ethically sourced products - was one of the icons of the High Street in the 1980s, but was hit when rivals started making similar products.

It managed to recover, and now has more than 2,000 stores in 53 countries."

Monopolies? What is going to happen on the next 10 years? Microsoft soap, Google Shampoo ?...
