Step into the new year, say hello to the new decade, and welcome a whole host of new products to pep up your pamper.
Lush's newly developed products aren't your average spring fling; these shower, body and mouthcare treats are the caring cleansing companions you have been looking for. With extra gentle palm and sulphate-free formulas, these delightfully delicate newcomers will be sticking around all year long. It’s time to refresh your routines, and find your new favourite skin saviours.
Stop, shower time!
If long, steamy soaks in the shower give you your power then feast your eyes on these. With both lavish liquids or naked treats to choose from, claim your right to choose, celebrate your skin needs and kickstart your cleanse.
Nana shower gel
This gel is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S! Soothing oat satisfies thirsty skin and, combined with a dash of banana and wheatgerm oil, creates the perfect recipe for softness. Fresh banana hydrates, while wheatgerm oil’s omega-9 and vitamin B protects and relieves irritation. For centuries, oats have also been used to calm sensitive skin, and when mixed with water they create a soothing, softening milk. This liquid shower gel is extra gentle thanks to the palm-free formula, but if you’re looking for a packaging-free option, try the Nana naked shower gel for size. Naked shower gels are double the concentration of liquid shower gels and therefore last twice as long, so slip into the shower and lather in your hands, before rubbing across your body for a gentle wash with a sweet pudding fragrance.
Almond Blossom shower gel and naked shower gel
The delicate blossoms of spring have been reimagined as both bottled shower gel and naked shower gel enriched with softening almond milk and the scent of sweet marzipan. Suitable for even the most sensitive skin types, these extra gentle gels bloom on your body thanks to a triple dose of almond, courtesy of protective Fair Trade almond oil, calming almond milk and sweet almond essential oil. Rounded off with the woody warmth of sandalwood and calming rose water, cleansing has never been so caring. Soothing strokes of Fair Trade almond oil not only benefits the body by moisturising your skin, but it also gives the Palestinian farmers who grow and harvest the almonds a steady income, so you can emerge from your wash feeling truly wonderful.
Tingle body conditioner and naked body conditioner
If you feel like a little stimulation in your shower, get ready to mingle with this minty body conditioner and embrace seriously soft skin. Available as both a potted cream or naked (for a packaging-free alternative), start the day in a tingle-tastic way. These mighty menthol crystals stimulate blood circulation helping to relax sore muscles while rich murumuru butter locks in moisture as it is swept over the body. After cleansing, apply all over skin to coat your body in moisturising Fair Trade organic cocoa butter and hydrating organic jojoba oil before rinsing off. For the eco-warriors amongst us, the naked body conditioner is self-emulsifying, which means that once mixed with water the solid product creates a creamy lotion and works the same way as its potted counterpart. Warning! This powerful blend may blast away the cobwebs and remind you of an old Christmas favourite, but has a brand new extra-gentle formula (which just happens to be palm-free).
Ro’s Argan naked body conditioner
If you’re looking for sumptuously soft skin with minimal effort then it’s time to wake up and smell the roses! This naked body conditioner is self-preserving, eliminating any need for plastic packaging, and has a gentle and palm-free formula making for a doubly environmentally-friendly indulgence. Sweep its rich combination of Fair Trade organic cocoa and cupuaçu butters over your body to leave your skin soft and packed with moisture. Decadent argan oil (famous for its conditioning properties) and toning goji berry juice give skin a healthy glow. This self-emulsifying twist on our classic Ro’s Argan body conditioner creates a soft milk and feels like a cream on your skin when mixed with water. After cleansing as normal, glide your Naked Body Conditioner all over in the bath or shower, then gently rinse away and pat dry. These naked treats are available exclusively online.
Hydrating heroes
Did you know the secret to keeping your skin happy and healthy all year round is to keep it hydrated? Lush’s naked lotions are known to break the mould by offering a plastic-free alternative to your moisturisers, but even if a potted cream is more your style then these next products will be sure to put a spring in your step.
Pansy body lotion
Sweeping citrus notes of mandarin, bergamot, and orange flower absolute combine in this uplifting and reassuringly light lotion. This potted lotion will quench thirsty skin with heaps of hydration thanks to extra virgin olive oil and soothing Fair Trade organic aloe vera gel from Mexico. Sure to be a fan favourite for those who adore The Olive Branch shower gel.
Luscious lickable lips
Pouting over dry lips? Give your mouth some love with these tasty sugar scrubs that gently buff and polish.
Feeling fruity? Polish your pout to perfection with this juicy beauty. This playfully pink confection uses peachy davana, lime and cocoa absolute for a deliciously sour cherry flavour. Organic jojoba oil and Fair Trade shea butter moisturise your lips, leaving them soft and supple while cherry kernel oil is light-weight and ideal for protecting your lips without leaving them feeling sticky. Buff away with caster sugar and release the delectable almond essential oil for soft and smooth lips before following up with your favourite lip balm such as Rose Lollipop, to lock in the moisture.
What do you think unicorns like to eat? Blueberry muffins and plum puddings of course! Dip into the layers of this delightful lip scrub and discover the magical blend of omega-9 rich organic virgin plum and organic jojoba oils for the softest lips in the kingdom. Spread the magic of fairy-tale soft lips with caster sugar, a gentle exfoliator that sweetly buffs and polishes. An extra dash of popping candy casts a magic spell and giving you the ability to speak to unicorns so scoop a little out onto your finger, buff onto your lips and lick away the excess for an extra treat!
