Bath & Body Works

Bath & Body Works, LLC is an American specialty retail chain founded in 1990 in New Albany, Ohio, as part of The Limited, Inc. (now under L Brands), initially launching its first dedicated store in a Cambridge, Massachusetts mall to offer accessible luxury in personal care products. The company identified a market gap for indulgent, high-quality items like body lotions, shower gels, and home fragrances at affordable prices, bridging drugstore basics and high-end luxury brands. By 1997, it had become the largest bath shop chain in the United States, expanding to over 1,900 stores across six continents, with headquarters in Columbus, Ohio. Key milestones include the 1997 launch of Bath & Body Works at Home, the 1999 establishment of the White Barn Candle Company for scented candles, and the 1998 introduction of the blockbuster Cucumber Melon fragrance, which hit $100 million in sales by 2000. Innovations like the 2001 Aromatherapy collection, men’s lines, hand sanitizers, and Signature collections have driven growth, alongside a U.S.-based supply chain for agile, on-trend products.[1][2][3][4][5]

The retailer specializes in body care (shower gels, lotions, creams, fragrance mists, scrubs), hand soaps, sanitizers, and home fragrances (3-wick candles, diffusers), featuring collections like Signature, Retired Fragrances, C.O. Bigelow, Coco Shea, and Aromatherapy, tailored for men and women. It emphasizes America’s Favorite Fragrances with frequent scent recycling and relaunches, creating engaging store environments modeled after a mascot’s country house for exploratory shopping. With billions in revenue—$2.285 billion reported earlier and $7.4 billion in 2023—Bath & Body Works delivers quality luxuries through innovation and diversification, including seasonal catalogs, websites since 2006, and global franchises.[2][3][4][5]

Shoppers choose Bath & Body Works for its affordable indulgence, vast scent variety, and reliable quality in self-care and home products. The brand’s focus on wellness, hygiene (boosted by sanitizers), and trend-responsive offerings like travel sizes makes it ideal for gifting, daily routines, or home ambiance, supported by a predominantly U.S. supply chain for freshness and speed.[1][3]
