Inspired by DreamWorks Animation’s Shrek franchise, the brand new Lush x Shrek collection celebrates everyone’s inner swampy self, in contrast to the ‘clean girl’ aesthetic of recent years. The collection launches exclusively via the Lush app at 9am on Friday 22 March 2024, and in selected stores (Glasgow City, Liverpool, London Oxford Street and Edinburgh) and on the Lush website on Monday 25 March 2024.
Just like onions, this collection has layers. Inspired by Shrek’s journey from a self-loathing to a self-accepting ogre, the range aims to bring joy and Shrek’s irreverent humour to the worlds of beauty and wellbeing – showing that there is no one way to be beautiful and feel good – wellness can be a swampy ogre bath too!
“I love how Shrek is a family film I enjoyed when I was in my teens and now my own teenager loves all the meme culture of Shrek today. It’s a classic film that celebrates self-love and was an obvious fit for a Lush collaboration. It’s earthy and fun and perfect for some swampy self care,” – Melody Morton, Creative Concepts Director at Lush.
The new, limited-edition collection features Get Out Of My Swamp shower slime, Shrek Swamp bath bomb and Fiona shower gel, complete with new and exclusive fragrances, as well as returning favourite scents for Gingy bubble bar and Donkey bath bomb.
The Fiona shower gel has a light, fresh and fruity scent of lime and green grass, featuring lime, pine buchu oils and mango leaf absolute, while Shrek Swamp is scented with rich, deep chocolate mixed with a refreshing, minty and spicy top note thanks to peppermint, pink pepper and vanilla.
Lush’s best selling Mask of Magnaminty face and body mask, fondly referred to as ‘Shrek Pack’ by customers in South Korea for its ogre-like green hue, will also be donning a special Shrek label to celebrate the collaboration. With over 1,000 five-star reviews on the Lush website, the mask is a customer favourite worldwide for those with oily, acne prone skin.
Make like Shrek and harness the power of the swamp for a slimy body wash that will leave users feeling soft and silky.
Wheatgrass, an antioxidant packed with Vitamins A, E and C, will leave skin bright and soothed, while cornstarch not only helps to create the texture of this sublime slime, but is also fantastically softening on the skin.
Be ogre-joyed with this fairytale blend of fresh, fruity fragrance transformed into a beautifully cleansing shower gel.
Packed with Vitamin C, Fresh Cucumber Juice cools and soothes the skin while giving it the healthy, radiant glow of an ogre in love. Sourced from South Africa, Buchu oil adds a fresh berry note to this fruity fragrance.
This fruity shower gel is housed in recycled plastic harvested from the coastlines of Bali, Indonesia. Due to local infrastructures overwhelmed by tourism, the scale of waste management isn’t equipped to process the growing amount of plastic waste, posing a significant risk to wildlife, so instead this plastic is collected and recycled for reuse.
Do you know the muffin man? Well, get acquainted with the scent of freshly baked goods in the form of everyone’s favourite gingerbread man! Crumble under running water to release sweetly scented bubbles and swish around for even more suds!
The Lush x Shrek collection launches exclusively via the Lush app at 9am on Friday 22 March 2024, then in selected stores (Lush Oxford Street, Lush Studio Beak Street, Lush Liverpool, Lush Edinburgh and Lush Glasgow City) and on the Lush website on Monday 25 March 2024.
Don’t be a Farquad! Users can unleash their very own swamp at bath time with this cheeky bath bomb.
It might be swampy, but this blend of rhassoul mud, oakmoss and seaweed, hand harvested from the Japanese coastline, will leave skin feeling softened and cared for.
A fairytale blend of lime and mango leaf with notes of fresh juicy melon and crisp green apple, spritz directly onto skin to release a freshly scented fantasy.
Distilled into an absolute, mango leaves give a tropical green note that transports you to holidays far, far away. Fruity? Floral? Fresh? The real joy of this complex fragrance is that it changes on the skin throughout the wear.
Where would a brave knight be without his noble steed? Have Donkey join the party with this sweet ballistic, scented with waffle-y notes of cosy spiced caramel.
Drop Donkey into a nice hot bath to release swirls of colour and waffle-sweet fragrance.
