The bath and body care companies, Terranova, and Nectarine, have been more than just a business for sisters Ann Saunders Gordon and Kathy Saunders – it’s been a long-time member of their family and community. Their trendsetting mother, Jane Saunders, founded the original The Body Shop in Berkeley, Calif., in 1970. Inspired by Berkeley’s vibrant counterculture and burgeoning desire for natural ingredients and fresh scents, Jane pioneered using botanicals, such as vitamins, aloe, jojoba, vegetable glycerin and shea, in her personal care products.
