Bath & Body Works Now Part of Campus Life at UTEP and EPCC

It's back to school time and that means back to school shopping. With a new semester beginning, many students in El Paso are stocking up on school supplies like pens, notebooks and body sprays? That's at least what students at the University of Texas at El Paso and El Paso Community College can expect when they return to campus this fall.

Bath & Body Works Comes to El Paso Campuses

Bath & Body Works recently announced they will begin to sell their products at more than 600 college bookstores and that includes UTEP and EPPC's Valle Verde Campus! Students will now have easy access to Bath & Body Works products right on campus. Whether it’s grabbing a sanitizer between classes or picking up a candle before heading back to the dorms, the convenience factor is big- and it makes campus life in El Paso a little sweeter (and better smelling).

The move isn’t random, Bath & Body Works is zeroing in on Gen Z, the group that’s already made the brand a favorite. In fact, the company was recently ranked the No. 1 fragrance brand among American teens and the third most-shopped beauty store overall in Piper Sandler’s Spring 2025 “Taking Stock With Teens” survey. By planting itself in campus bookstores, Bath & Body Works is meeting students where they already shop, whether that’s grabbing textbooks, coffee, or now, a three-wick candle.

What El Paso Students Will Find on Campus

From late-night study sessions to dorm room makeovers, Bath & Body Works is stocking campuses with plenty of student favorites. The lineup includes body creams, lotions, fragrance mists, lip glosses, scrubs, hand soaps, and the brand’s cult-favorite 3-wick candles. Popular scents like Champagne Toast, Mahogany Teakwood, and Clean House Vibes are all part of the mix, so students can bring a little extra comfort- and a whole lot of fragrance- to campus life.

For El Paso students, the arrival of Bath & Body Works on campus feels like more than just a new shopping option- it’s a lifestyle upgrade. Between the convenience of having cult-favorite products steps away from class and the chance to bring a little comfort to hectic school days, UTEP and EPCC students are set to start the semester with a boost. From hand sanitizers that fit perfectly in backpacks to candles that make a dorm feel like home, Bath & Body Works is officially part of campus life in the Borderland.
