Lush’s Festive Range Celebrates Nostalgia

Lush’s Festive Range Celebrates Nostalgia

The go-to for gourmand goodies, Lush has been stopping shoppers from biting chunks out of their soaps for three decades now.

As it’s the fresh, handmade cosmetic company's 30th birthday, this year’s 80-piece festive range has been designed to celebrate the nostalgia of Christmases past - filled with sweet shop treats, hues of 70s tinsel and even a sparkly Christmas broccoli.

Handmade by humans, each Lush product is completely unique - from the smile on the Santa, to the nose on the penguin. Last year, Lush staff hand-produced over 33.5 million products in its UK factory in Poole.

From designing products using ethically sourced ingredients, to ensuring any packaging returned to store is recycled in Lush’s Green Hub facility, Lush gifts aim to leave the recipient and the planet ‘lusher’ than before.

It’s set to be a scent-sational festive season at Lush, with fragrance sales up 54 percent on last year - thanks to viral sensations such as Super Milk and Sticky Dates, with classic festive fragrances such as Snow Fairy and Turmeric Latte also predicted to fly off the shelves.

“We believe in the power of smelling good and allowing your fragrance to shift your mood and even transport you elsewhere. Feeling like a night in? Get comfy and light our Cinders candle to emulate a peaceful moment by the fireside. Or get ready to celebrate and feast your senses on the wonderfully rich and gourmand notes of Turmeric Latte perfume," said Jennifer Mattei, fragrance category lead at Lush.

“Lush’s Snow Fairy scent is a Christmas classic; it feels like stepping into a sweet shop and pondering which sugary delight to choose. Its pear drop and candy floss notes flood our senses with playful energy. For us and many of our customers, it's the scent of the season and fills us with joy every single year.”

The range launches in-store and online on 18th September, with early access going live exclusively for Lush Club members via the Lush app on 16th September.
