Charity Pot : The Essential Guide

Have you heard about Charity Pot? It’s our body lotion with a difference. 

Charity Pot is a special hand and body lotion, launched in 2007 to raise funds for small grassroots charities, campaigns, and not-for-profit groups working in the areas of animal protection, human rights, and the environment. Charity Pot aims to help stretched and often overlooked organisations be able to get on with the incredible work they do. 

From the ethically sourced ingredients to the soothing effect on your skin, to the funds donated to grassroots causes all over the world – each step of the way is supporting positive change.

The hand and body lotion is available in both packaged and naked form, and a fine fragrance called Grassroots also contributes to the fund.

Since 2007, Charity Pot has donated over £75 million with over 17,000 donations across 175 countries.

We see Charity Pot as a special collaboration with our customers – Lush gives its time and raw materials, so that when a customer buys Charity Pot, all of the money (minus government taxes) can go straight to helping good causes.

Charity Pot gives grants of between £100 – £10,000 to small and predominantly volunteer-run organisations, especially those with limited resources who find it challenging to source funding from elsewhere. We try to help as many different organisations as possible.
