Perfume For All Seasons
People enjoy LUSH products for many reasons, all as unique as they are. However, many people are drawn to our products for the way they smell, and the gorgeous perfumes they leave behind once used. What a simple yet divine luxury!
Most of our products belt out fragrance like an opera singer, though others purr a soft lullaby. Some cheer rowdily, while others whisper faintly. Others still are quiet as a sleeping baby, with regards to their scent, though these are a small handful. Our product range is varied like that to meet different needs and preferences.
Whatever LUSH product you choose, there’s a list of Quantitative Ingredients provided on product labels or product info on our website, or LUSH Times. This is for several reasons: we are proud of our inventions, we use the highest quality, most ethically-sourced ingredients we can find, and we also value our customers’ experiences with our products.
We use the word “Perfume” in the Quantitative Ingredients list to indicate that the product contains a secret, special blend of fragrance materials that we also hand-crafted ourselves. “Perfume” became the catch-all phrase to describe each of those special blends easily on labels. Inside our factories, where the products are whipped up in fresh batches, we call those ingredients our EC, or Essential Components.
Most of them are results of LUSH co-founder Mark Constantine’s synaesthesia-prone imagination; Synaesthesia affects a small percentage of people, and enables them to experience a blending of the senses…imagine w...
LUSH Buying Presents: Rose Oil
One of our favorite ingredients to use to create our luxurious products, is also one of the most expensive.
Agnes, one of our Buyers, takes a team to Turkey to see our rose supplier. They get a chance to not only pick roses, but also to see how the process of turning fresh roses into oils happens.
...Charity Pot Gets Nevada Growing
Charitable Givings at LUSH goes beyond Charity Pot and donations. We also love to host parties in our shops with our Charity Pot partners to increase their visibility, and our employees volunteer year round across North America, (and even around the world).
Last Fall we held a contest in our shops asking our customers to help us find more worthy causes to support. Not only did we get some amazing suggestions, but we also had the pleasure of hosting 10 winners on our first-ever Customer Volunteer event in Gold Butte, Nevada with one of our Charity Pot partners, Friends of Nevada Wilderness. It was hot, hard work but a rewarding experience that no one will forget.
You can read more about the work they did here.

...The Art of Massage
Studies show that when we do something kind for another person, our own happiness increases. One act of kindness can create a virtuous cycle that brings regular acts of love into your relationship. We're not just talking about THE act of love (although that may be the end result), we're talking about a soft, sensuous massage.
Start out with a Tender is the Night massage bar. This luxurious, heart-shaped bar is intended for one use (or two, if your partner is feeling generous). Crush the light, velvety bar between your hands and inhale the seductive scent of jasmine, ylang ylang and vanilla. The shea butter and almond oil melt in your hands, and onto the back and body of your loved one.
Now, the fun part.
Start at the top, shoulders and arms, and work your way down the back as you melt the butters onto the skin, hands gliding smoothly. Set the unused portion of the bar aside for them to use on you later, or go all the way and rub the entire bar all over their body from head to toe. Work your hands into the muscles, rubbing out any kinks or knots you find. Try to keep your hands on their body the entire time to keep your partner relaxed.
Massage everywhere.
Press your fingers up and widen them across the base of the scalp, rub around their ears, gently pull the earlobes. Massage the jaw, remind them to breathe deeply and release the tension in their face and body. Rub down the ne...
