  • Bath & Body Works is offering products in more than 600 college campuses nationwide for the 2025-2026 school year.
  • The offerings will include body creams and lotions, fragrances, diffusers, hand sanitizes, lip products, hand soaps and candles.
  • The partnership aims to better serve Bath & Body Works' Gen Z clientele.

It's back to school for Bath & Body Works as the company announced plans to sell its products in over 600 college campus stores for the 2025-2026 academic year.

The brand's reach aims to strengthen its connection with Generation Z consumers after being named the No. 1 fragrance brand for American teens and the third overall most-shopped at beauty stores by teens in the Piper Sandler Taking Stock with Teens Spring 2025 Survey.

Bath & Body Works has partnered with ICM Distributing Company, working with national chains such as Barnes & Noble College and Follett-operated bookstores, as well as independent campus retailers, according to Chief Merchandising Officer Betsy Schumacher.

Students will see one of four different fixtures at their college bookstore, dependent on size. The largest, free-standing kiosk will be at all Follett-managed stores. Other bookstores will offer smaller fixtures, end cap options and products at the checkout.
