"Queen of Green" Anita Roddick diesBy Courtney Hollands
08:53 AM
Sad. Anita Roddick, 64, creator of the Body Shop and the UK's leading female entrepreneur, died yesterday from a brain hemorrhage. The self-described "flower child" -- who began the cosmetics company as a hippie shop in Brighton, England, in 1976 -- championed ethical beauty and animal rights long before it became trendy.
Though I OD'd on the Body Shop's bath beads in middle school, I came to love the store's peppermint foot scrub and creamy, luxurious shea body butters a few years ago. I'm positively addicted to the store's line of hemp serums and lotions (it's an acquired scent). Best of all, I can identify with Roddick's ethos and her green goals and have always felt good about using her products. She will be missed. |
