Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.When it comes to natural and ethically sourced ingredients, The Body Shop is one of the brands that you need to know. Whether you’re looking to dabble in cruelty free products or dip your toe into refillable packaging, this is where it’s at.
But here’s the major public service announcement – The Body Shop’s massive summer sale is now on with up to 50 per cent off across everything from body and bath products to skincare, make-up and fragrances. We’re talking fruity body butters and glow-from-within formulas at prices that are too good to miss.
The Body Shop’s fruity and floral goodies are usually pretty affordable, but with these deals we’re now seeing prices on some items fall below the £5-threshold. Bargain!
As a little heads up: we’ve also spied one of our IndyBest approved mascaras on sale. Dubbed the “best for a natural look” in our round-up, it’s ideal for sensitive eyes, so if you’re looking to introduce natural ingredients that are gentler to your peepers this is going to be right up your street.
