More Than the Bath Bomb Explosion
Lush Cosmetics Offers it All
Let’s be honest, if you had a dollar for every time you saw the “putting-bath-bomb-into-tub-fizzing” video on snapgirl’s Snapchat story, you could buy out the entire Lush company. The bath bomb craze has taken over tubs across the nation, and set up a reputation for Lush that is not entirely true. Because of this bath bomb explosion over social media, we forget about all of the other products that Lush has to offer.
Bath bombs take up only a small corner of the Lush store. Most of the shelves are packed with little black containers filled with an array of magic serums. One of these little containers holds the “Ocean Salt Face and Body Scrub.” It is one of the brand’s top sellers, created from citrus oil as well as lime mixed into fine and coarse sea salt to exfoliate. This is balanced with coconut oil and avocado to soften the skin. Though extremely effective for deep cleaning and exfoliating, it may not be the best product for sensitive skin. But, it is a go-to for an oily complexion. Always remember to find the product that is right for you.
Another one of the top sellers is the “Bubblegum Lip Scrub.” Fine castor sugar exfoliates your lips and jojoba oil leaves them feeling soft. This is perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth because after the serum does its job, you can lick it right off. It also comes in mint and other flavors. This product is amazing in the fight against winter dryness.
Another popular hydration winter warrior is “Charity Pot Body Lotion.” Aside from being one of the most hydrating lotions from the brand, it is so popular because of where the profits are donated. 100% of the price goes to small grassroots organizations working in the areas of environmental conservation, animal welfare and human rights.
This is just one of the many steps Lush has taken to give back. 100% of their products are hand-made. Each bottle has a little cartoon of the Lush employee who made it. This provides jobs and future careers for those who need it. Lush is also a leader in the fight against animal testing. They are front runners in exposing animal cruelty and ending the fur trade.
Though the bath bomb craze is crazy fun, take a minute to appreciate the rest of the products the brand has to offer. You can join their VIP program to receive email updates about products being stocked in Lush stores or just visit their location at the West County Mall.
