Lush is launching a baa-rilliant new collaboration with Shaun the Sheep

it’s hard to bleat!

Who’s baaa-d? Not Lush. Together with Aardman, Lush is serving up handmade fun at the farm with six fresh, carefully crafted and totally vegan products: a homage to a certain cheeky sheep and his famous Flock – all in celebration of the 30th anniversary of Shaun the Sheep’s first appearance in the Oscar®-winning short, Wallace & Gromit: A Close Shave. The collection is launching on the Lush app on the 17th of February, and online and in-store from the 20th of February. 

Both Lush and Aardman are expert crafters. Lush produces over 100 million items of fresh, handmade cosmetics a year. These are carefully handcrafted in factories across the globe, where over 1,700 production staff chop, whisk, blend, press, shape and perfect each item. Similar to Lush’s techniques, Aardman’s productions – including Shaun the Sheep – are handcrafted by a specialised crew of artists, model makers, set dressers and animators.

Lush is also celebrating its own 30th anniversary this year – the brand has been fragrancing high streets since 1995, changing the cosmetics landscape with brand new inventions such as bath bombs, shampoo bars and massage bars. All made by hand, with fresh ingredients and sold with minimal packaging.  

Whether it’s an un-bleat-able bubble bar or a Bitzer-themed body balm, this is a range you’ll want to (pitch)fork out for. Just try not to ewes them all in one go!

Shaun Bath Bomb, £6.00

Escape to a lusciously green landscape with the leader of the Flock! This ewe-nique bath treat fills your tub with the fragrance of jasmine and rose absolute…baa-ths have never been so blissful!

Sleepy Timmy Bubble Bar, £7.00

Keeping up with Shaun’s antics all day calls for an early night! Timmy’s lavender and chamomile bubbles will carry you off to bed nicely, no need to count sheep. With softening cornstarch and a rainbow black lustre that’ll turn your bathwater into a sparkling night sky, settling you down before snooze town.

Bitzer Body Balm, £10.00

Offload the hard work of hydrating your dry bits to Bitzer. This canine can-doer has herded apricot kernel oil, mango, shea and cocoa butters into a balm that works smarter, not faster! Perfect for smooth skin and waggy tails all round.

Naughty Pigs Shower Jelly, £12.00

Time for a hogwash! Let these mischievous swines infuse your shower with the smell of fresh grapefruit, mixed with a warm base note

of sandalwood. You’ll be smelling divine! Next in their bag of tricks is a base of carrageenan and glycerine, carrying buckets of hydration into the skin while giving the jelly its wobbly texture. Those pesky pigs sure know how to win us round.

Troublesome Tractor Soap, £7.00

Get in the slow queue for the basin – this is a tractor you’ll be happy to wait for! Lather up with a special blend of geranium and clary sage, a baa-rilliant treat for hardworking hands.

Mossy Bottom Body Spray, £35.00

When you’re feeling woolly-headed, the scent of freshly cut grass is hard to bleat! Bring the outdoors in with this earthy and grounding blend of verdant green notes and woody sandalwood.
