Lush Bath Bombs

By Jennifer

Lush Soap is a brand that is now distributed world-wide as a franchise home-made organic soap making facility and store. It originated in Pool, Dorset in the United Kingdom and was the brain child of the husband wife team Mo and mark Constantine. There are now 830 stores in 51 countries.

 

The store sells a variety of healthy and aromatic productisn including soaps, shower gels, shampoos, hair conditioner, bath bombs, bubble bars, face masks and hand and body masks. The signature mission of their manufacture is to produce beauty products made of fruit, vegetables, essential oils, honey and beeswax.  The British love their very creative scents as well as their f UN marketing displays, which often feature huge cakes of soap with wedges displayed for sale.  The displays are very colorful and smell delicious.

 

Lush is also known as a pioneer in aromatherapy which back in the nineties was not as popular as it is now. The company made a variety of shower gels, moisturizers, shampoos and scrubs that smelled great and that were also very colorful looking. However the centerpiece of it all were their Bath Bombs.

In America these solid balls  (about the size of a tennis ball) made with sodium bicarbonate that fizz with different colors and scents when dropped in the bathtub are called bath bombs. In England they were originally called Bath Ballistics. Many of the bath bombs were full of dried flowers and exploded when they hit the water.

 

Lush is attractive to many because they do not buy from companies that carryout, fund or commission any animal testing. The company also does not use sodium palm kemelate, which is a palm tree species from the rainforest that is endangered.

 

The beloved company also offers a free face mask to those who return their used Lush containers to the store Their company mission is to have 100% of their containers to be either recyclable or biodegradable.

 

Lush is a supporter of direct action, animal rights operations including Sea Shepherd, a group that works to protect whales, seals, and other aquatic animals.[16] Lush has also been a supporter of anti-tax avoidance grouping UKuncut and its protests which have resulted in criminal damage.

 

Lush stores are everywhere in America but even more so in England.  The brand has a very distinct look and way of dealing with customers that has not been imitated well by other companies.
