“G 
reen” has become a popular English phrase. It means that 
something is good for the environment. Customers are looking 
for products that are “natural,” “pure,” and “made from recycled 
material.” They feel good about helping the Earth and 
about buying food and cosmetics that are healthier for 
their bodies. Anita Roddick sensed this when she founded 
The Body Shop in 1976. She advertised cosmetics that were 
“100 percent pure” and boasted that The Body Shop’s 
products were not tested on animals. Also, she said The 
Body Shop did not take unfair advantage of the workers in 
poor countries.
For some people, this sounded too good to be true. In 1994, reporter Jon 
Entine wrote a famous magazine article disputing Roddick’s claims. He said that 
The Body Shop cosmetics were actually only 1 percent pure. Entine also pointed 
out that most of the ingredients in The Body Shop’s products were, indeed, tested 
on animals. This prompted Roddick to change the phrase on her cosmetic labels. 
Instead of “not tested on animals,” it became “against animal testing.” Later, other 
critics joined in. The London chapter of Greenpeace accused The Body Shop of 
exploiting poor workers.
Today many other “green” companies face similar criticism. Are products 
marketed as “green” really good for environment, or do producers simply claim 
that they are so they can make more money? It’s a tough question. Thanks to 
writers such as Entine, however, one thing is certain: They are less likely to trust 
the manufacturer’s word.
