The Body Shop’s surprise buyer Natura Cosmeticos has now completed its acquisition of the health and beauty retailer, after being granted permission by the relevant competition watchdogs.

The buyer, Brazil’s largest cosmetics company, will now add The Body Shop’s global estate to its already significant operations.
