Everything is Coming Up Fresh at Lush

Lush Fresh Homemade Cosmeticsjust seems to get everything right. One stroll past a Lush shop and you find yourself being drawn in by the wonderful smells coming through their doors. And the fun does not stop there. You are greeted by a friendly and enthusiastic Lush associate that offers to let you experiment with all the exciting products- from shower jellies to luxurious body creams to solid shampoo. If you can dream it, they have made it.

And what makes Lush products so special? To begin with, all Lush products are handmade in small batches to ensure that you are getting the freshest quality products possible. Now add to this, the fact that all ingredients are ethically sourced, 100% vegetarian, and cruelty free and you realize that Lush is really checking off all the blocks on your list. But they are not finished winning you over just yet. This is not only a company provides customers with great products, but they are also dedicated to charitable giving. Back in 2007, Lush invented a lotion called Charity Pot where 100% of the purchase price goes towards “supporting humanitarian, environmental and animal rights causes locally and around the world.” And that is not a typo- 100% of the purchase price. Since 2007, Charity Pot has donated more than $33,000,000. AMAZING! Now there is absolutely zero excuse for not purchasing this little gem of a body lotion. It makes you look good and feel good on the inside and out!

And Lush does not stop at ethical sourcing and charity- they are always thinking about the impact they are making on the environment. Step into the store and you will immediately notice the minimal packaging. Either products are packaged in unassuming black pots or in a naked format. Simply put, 35% of all of Lush’s products are packaging-free or naked. The others are packaged in simple plastic black pots that are you guessed it- recycled, recyclable, reusable or compostable.

We are thrilled to have Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics as part of the family here at Destin Commons. And are even more thrilled that stepping into their doorway is just a few steps away from our office. That means we are continuously popping in to try the latest bath bomb or other goodies. Here are just a few of our favorites.

Butterball Bath Bomb

This plain little bath bomb does not look like much but it is dreamy. Fill your bath with the delicious scent of vanilla.

Ultrabland Facial Cleanser

A rich and luxurious balm that breaks up makeup and the daily grime. A bonus is that is leaves your skin feeling clean yet moisturized.

Rose Jam Shower Gel

Indulge your senses with Rose Jam Shower Gel. The lemon-rose scent is so addictive that your shower will not be the same without it.

Honey Lip Scrub

Your lips need a little TLC sometimes too. Treat them to a gentle sugar scrub with this combination of honey, white chocolate and sweet smelling vanilla.

Scrubee Body Butter

Not only is the little bee adorable but it is a real powerhouse in the shower. It exfoliates and moisturizes your skin all in one massage.

Ro’a Argan

A conditioner for the body? This treat for your skin moisturizes but leaves the skin without a greasy feel. It is as simple as smoothing over wet skin and rinsing off!

We invite you to come in and play at Lush and tell us your favorite products. We bet you have more than one!
