For those who don’t know, Lush is a company that offers fresh, handmade cosmetics. It believes in using natural ingredients. Their products are 100% vegetarian, and sans animal testing. The company also support ethical and fair trade buying when purchasing ingredients. Their motto is “we believe in protecting people, animals and the planet”. They also partake in many raise money for various causes and charitable work. As an example, last summer they raised $425,000 from the worldwide sale of its "GayIsOK" soap, with the funds going to LGBT campaign groups. On top of all of that, they have some pretty kickass products. Here are the five you should really give a try.
1. Charity Pot Lotion
A super moisturizing lotion for your hands and body. This lotion will also make your heart feel good! 100% of the purchase price goes towards supporting humanitarian, environmental, and animal rights causes. Since being invented in 2007, this lotion has donated close to three million dollars to various causes around the world.
2. Fresh Face Masks
Lush carries about a dozen face masks that are so fresh they have a shelf life of one to two weeks and have to be refrigerated. These masks target everything from hormonal breakouts to rosacea to just brightening and hydrating the face! Many “Lushies” have sworn by them for overall, lasting face improvement.
3. Solid Shampoo Bars
Unlike bottles of liquid shampoo, Lush’s shampoo bars are small, long-lasting, concentrated amounts of shampoo. They last up to 80 uses, which is comparable to two or three bottles of normal shampoo. They’re also packed full of effective ingredients and essential oils. They’ve created a few for each type of hair! Not to mention, they’re perfect for travel!
4. Lip Scrubs
These sugar scrubs exfoliate your lips like you’ve never experienced. They are edible and tasty. They make delectable flavors such Popcorn, Bubble Gum, Mint Julips, (which tastes like Frango Mint Meltaways) to name a few. Just make sure you don’t eat the whole jar!
5. Bath Bombs
You probably expected this to be first on the list. The popularity on social media these bath bombs get is for a reason! I saved the best item for last. Lush makes over 20 different kinds that all make your bathtub colorful all while relaxing you and working wonders for your skin. Their scents vary from citrusy and woodsy to sweet and floral and everything in between.
