Good enough to eat: LUSH-inspired edibles
Fresh, natural ingredients are at the heart of our formulas at LUSH. Sometimes the resulting creations look so delicious that we're tempted to take a bite, although our recipes aren't designed to make a good snack; they're designed to be effective on the skin and hair. To keep our nibbly temptations at bay, we've taken inspiration from our delicious-looking products and adapted them into tasty recipes that will keep us from sneaking sly bites in the LUSH kitchens!
Vegan banana-oat cookies
One of the most appetizing products in our shops is our Oatifix fresh face mask. It looks like a delicious creamy bowl of banana oatmeal, but contains kaolin clay which would make it much too gritty to be an enjoyable snack! Save the face mask for beautifying your skin; we've taken the most delicious ingredients from Oatifix and made them into a tasty vegan cookie recipe.
Oatifix is full of ingredients that are fantastic for your skin and beneficial for your body. We use oats for their soothing, anti-inflammatory properties. They work wonders to calm the skin, though it's not only our skin that benefits from oats; they are also highly nutritious. Oats are a source of calciu...

School of Henna
Long before LUSH was LUSH, Mark Constantine LUSH founder and inventor studied as a trichologist - someone who studies the health of the hair and scalp. With over 30 year of experience, Mark has been working with henna formulations since the late 1970s, and has even written a book on herbal hair colors. When it comes to hair, Mark is our resident expert.
While it has been many years since he started working in a hair salon, (now he spends his days tinkering in his lab inventing products and perfumes), Mark went back to the chair to teach a master class in henna. If you've ever had questions, or struggled with the best way to apply henna it's time to sit at the front of the class/ your computer, and take notes.

...How to Choose the Right Henna Color for Your Hair
One of the amazing things about our preservative-free, and all natural LUSH Les Cacas henna hair colors is that they look different on everyone. We can’t say exactly how Les Cacas will turn out on your hair because they work more like a gloss or varnish than a traditional dye, so it depends a lot on the colour of your hair now. That’s why we recommend you doing a strand test before you do your whole head.
The first thing to do is think about what results you’d like. You've got four choices to choose from: Caca Noir, Caca Brun, Caca Marron, and Caca Rouge.
Caca Noir: If you've got darker brown to black hair, you can expect a dark, blue-black indigo tint. We don't recommend Noir for light hair colors as it has a lot of indigo, which is naturally a bluish green shade.
Caca Brun: Mousey brown, medium and dark brunettes can expect a glossy, unified rich coffee brown color with Caca Brun. Lighter blonde and grey hair will turn several shades darker, turning brown with a green cast. Adding another coat of the same color will darken and develop it further.
Caca Marron: If you hair is very dark in color, it will become glossy, shiny ...
Gifts for Everyone on Your List
Here at LUSH, our friends and family have come to expect LUSHous gifts from us every year, and we're more than happy to share the LUSH love! We take pleasure in giving people a reason to take time out for themselves, in the bath, in the shower and in the bedroom (massage bars, anyone?). In order to help you find the right LUSH gifts for everyone on your list (yes, you can find something here for everyone!), we've created a Gift Finder for our online shop. You can search for gifts by their personality, and you can search for gifts and products by recipient or price.
By Personality
All of our gifts have their own personality to compliment your gift recipients', so we categorized them so you can find the perfect match. If you know someone who loves snuggling with hot cocoa and a warm blanket on cold, winter days, pick a gift from our "Cozy and Comforting" category. Or if they are bubbly, fun and fresh, click on "Pink and Sugary" or "Playful and Fun" to view our sweetest, most colorful treats. We've got "Traditional" gifts as well, for those holiday-lovers who can't wait to put their tree up, even in November, and a section of gifts for couples "To Share".

If you know your gift recipient loves taking baths, click on "Bath Lovers", or if they don't have a tub click "Shower Enthusiasts" to view holiday shower products and gifts which only contain shower products. We've grouped our most playful, fun holiday products into a category for "Little Ones", and our ...
