It happens all the time: People discover LUSH, find products they love, and then can’t believe we’ve been in business since 1995, but they’re only finding us now.

Granted, there are thousands of our loyal fans that have enjoyed our products since those early days as well all of our customers have discovered us along the way. Luckily, (for us and for you), to help new and old LUSH customers learn more about our products we have incredible customer feedback AKA - product reviews that are honest, helpful and detailed, on our website. We love to hear your product reviews and stories - what they mean to you and how you’ve found they work best.

Here are a few of our favorite customer reviews of 3 all-time LUSH signature products, that we can't imagine living a LUSH Life without:

H’SUAN WEN HUA

Our hair care formulas are created to improve hair and scalp health. Take customer favorite H’Suan Wen Hua hair moisturizer, a product a lot of people know and love, and routinely use--without even caring how to properly pronounce it! The appeal comes from our blend of special ingredients that treat hair, scalp to tip. H’suan Wen Hua is more like a health smoothie for thirsty hair: fresh avocado, olive oil, and free-range eggs whipped together with a spicy herbal scalp tonic of rosemary, bay leaf and cinnamon. Sluggish scalps surrender! Parched, brittle hair rejoices! The faint scent of Chai tea wafts through tresses. Anytime your hair needs a revival, a pot of this will do the trick--no trip to the salon required!

We fully embrace our reputation of being the smelliest shop on the block, so to create an unscented body lotion seems quite unlike us.

But when we smelled the fabulous tropical aroma of Coco Lotion’s gorgeous ingredients, we knew that this was one LUSHious treat that didn’t need any additional perfume. The unperfumed nature of Coco Lotion makes it perfect for those of us with irritable skin, an extra-sensitive nose, or for perfume purists who prefer a body lotion that moisturizes their skin without competing with their signature scent.

Though we don’t add any perfume to Coco Lotion, you'll surely find a subtle aroma when you open up a pot. The tropical ingredients combine beautifully to make you feel like you’re at the beach on an exotic island each time you apply (and for the rest of the day when you catch a whiff!) This gentle, but intoxicating smell is comprised only of the gorgeous skin-softening and nourishing ingredients that we put into each handmade batch.

Extra Virgin Coconut Oil

We do enjoy a lovely bunch of coconuts, especially when they give us luxuriously silky extra virgin coconut oil! 25% of each pot of Coco Lotion is coconut oil, but the love affair doesn’t stop there- we use coconut oil in our facial moisturizers, massage bars, bubbleroons and loads of other favorites.

I'm a pretty practical girl: I've never been the kind to blow my cash on trendy designer labels only to be able to say "I am wearing so and so." My hard earned money has always gone towards the things that matter much more to me like making memories and exploring the world, be it outside my doorstep or across the pond.

I've been to 15 countries in the past four years (!) and with all of the packing, unpacking, re-packing and airport security lines, I've learned a few lessons in the practicalities of travelling smarter. With the weight restrictions on baggage and limitations on carry-ons, it's always best to be prepared. Before taking your next trip, consider some travel-friendly, lighter alternatives that can save you on the plane and save some space in your case (so you can pack that extra pair of shoes!).

Here are my top five travel-friendly LUSH picks to help you travel lighter, smarter and happier:

Full of Grace Serum

This is instant hydration in solid form for parched, après flight skin as well as spent-all-day-in-the-sun skin. Both are in need of hydration—stat!—and vitamins B and C in this bar (which come from the Portabellas its packing) are ideal to revive skin. For me, the scent of this bar will always be tied to the slightly chilly April mornings in a sma...

Is your skin looking a little less than luminous these days?

Silk Stockings and Black Stockings are here to help! Moisturizing cocoa and Shea butters melt easily so the shimmery colors blend evenly—while gorgeous essential oils perfume the skin. This is the quickest way to amp up your color without hitting the beach—or coating your skin in color-changing chemicals.

Silk Stockings can even out naturally pinkish skin tones or act as a highlighter for skin with deeper pigments. Apply to the collarbone, décolletage, shins, or anywhere you want to draw the eye. It’s fantastic for a candle-lit setting! Scented with come-hither rose and jasmine, two of the most beloved perfume ingredients for inducing romance. No additional perfume required—unless desired.

Black Stockings has the most pigment to illuminate darker skin tones, or deepen pale skin for a just-back-from-Barbados look. This is one especially effective on bare legs to give them a smooth finish and a warm, sultry glow. The perfume has a spicy twist of pimento berry oil, cinnamon, and orange—creating a cozy feeling to cuddle into. Created with a Caribbean inspiration, this will have you looking and feeling ready for a sunny beach long before summer hi...
