Negotiations between the two beauty corporations began on 9th June 2016, after Natura initially valued The Body Shop at €1 billion.

This despite the fact the, after being bought by L'Oréal in 2006, the natural cosmetics retailer's performance fell short of expectations, even though the French giant invested heavily to grow the brand.
