The Secret Lush Cosmetics Master Plan
Since opening our doors over 27 years ago, Lush has been driven by innovation and ethics. Discover what the next 20 years hold for Lush, and how we’re building the company we want it to be…
Be number 1 in every category
Do not accept the status quo: invent new products that fulfil all of the vision.
This is who we are
Creators of pioneering beauty products such as the fizzing bath bomb, shower jellies, and solid shampoo bars, we place emphasis on fresh ingredients like organic fruits and vegetables, fight against animal testing, and combat over-packaging by developing products that can be sold ‘naked’ to the customer without any packaging.
Come party with us
Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just want an experience you’ll never forget, Lush has the party for you.

A one stop shop for your latest Lush news, recent awards, spokesperson updates and fun facts…
All companies need a vision. Although we didn’t really understand it, the Lush founders did have a vision. We believed you wanted effective products. Natural, fresh, and we didn’t want to spend more money on the packaging than on the contents.
