6 The Nectarine Story Jane s story is inspiring. In 1970, Jane was 50 years old and a stay-at-home mom. With $750 and a dream, she and her sisterin-law, Peggy Saunders Short, opened The Body Shop a tiny boutique on Berkeley s famous Telegraph Avenue. Inspired by the local, vibrant counter-culture, plus her interest in healthy living, she created pioneering body care products all formulated with natural, biodegradable ingredients. The lotions and bubble baths were custom scented for each shopper with Jane s fanciful fragrances. Packaging was spare nothing wasteful. Bottles could be returned for refilling. The name, The Body Shop was inspired by the store s location: CJ s Old Garage, a former auto body shop, converted into a hippie mall. She was an instant success! In the first year, the store sold 16 tons of soap, hand cut from large slabs, with fragrances like Chocolate, Strawberry Yogurt and Patchouli. The business quickly grew into a small Bay Area chain of stores and a substantial wholesale operation owned and run by us, Jane s daughters. Our mother s inspiration continues to guide our company. We are committed to quality, value, service and innovation all with healthy bodies and a healthy planet in mind. Jane pioneered the use of natural ingredients in body care products, and to honor her vision of being a company that respects the earth, we now offer an exceptional assortment of products that include over 70% Certified Organic ingredients! We are also famous for our signature scents China Rain, China Musk, China Lily and original Rain all created by Jane and her family in the 70s. These modern classics are fresh, clean and sheer and universally loved. Perhaps best of all, Jane has helped thousands of others realize their dreams. Nectarine offers its retail concept and 250 extraordinary products to entrepreneurs who wish to express creativity and good business sense with their signature image on a body care line. Our products, including over 100 fragrances and essential oils, are sold in diverse locations from freestanding boutiques to private label body care counters within existing stores and spas.

Rest assured that our quality formulations are produced under the strictest standards of safety, with no animal testing.
