This year, the sweet and juicy scent of Dewberry by The Body Shop, with the clean, comforting touch of powdery musk and fresh, floral jasmine, is officially making a comeback.
A new generation that never experienced the late 80s and 90s has become deeply enamored with the throwback aesthetics and culture, fueling a wave of product revivals as brands capitalize on borrowed nostalgia. In 2026, The Body Shop is celebrating its 50th anniversary and the strategic relaunch of Dewberry (first launched in 1988) is poised to win back loyal fans and attract a new generation of customers. Soon, longtime customers and newcomers to the iconic bodycare brand can look forward to experiencing the scent of Dewberry in the form of shower gel, body yogurt, hand balm, and more.
