The Body Shop’s journey began one day in early 1970 when Mrs. Anita Roddick – the founder of this cosmetics company – was impressed with the all-natural products of The Berkeley Body Shop store in Berkeley
The Body Shop’s exclusive products derived entirely from nature quickly became widely popular, paving the way for Roddick to continue expanding stores beyond the borders of England.
