Lush’s 2023 Diwali collection

The 2023 Lush Diwali collection will launch online and in stores nationwide on Thursday 5th October, celebrating new beginnings, unity, peace and harmony. 

Diwali, also sometimes referred to as Deepavali, means “row of lights” and marks the start of the New Year. The celebration focuses on the light bringing loved ones together, enjoying beautiful traditions and cultures. 

The range was created in partnership with Co-Create, a UK-based product creation internship for Lush seasonal ranges, to lift up authentic stories from their respective communities, promoting diversity, inclusion, equity and belonging. 

Whether you plan on treating yourself to these comforting, colourful delights, or gifting to your loved ones, there’s something special for everyone to enjoy Diwali celebrations.

Symbolising prosperity in the new year, Diya bath bombshell and melt is a soft warm floral blend of jasmine absolute, ylang ylang oil and vanilla absolute to gently light up the senses.

Inspired by the lighting of Diyas during the festival of Diwali to bring positivity, the base of the product is decorated taking the concept of Rangoli, and the middle is yellow to represent oil, while the shape of a flame represents fire. 

Flowers are an intrinsic part of many faiths that celebrate Diwali, as well as being symbolic or sacred. Flower Gel shower gel blooms with a marigold petal and vitamin-rich lotus root infusion to add earthy notes, adding antioxidant benefits for healthy skin. You’ll also find jasmine absolute and rose absolute for a celebratory fragrance bursting with flowers.
