Celebrating celtic symbols of tradition and folklore

Lush launch first-ever St Patrick’s Day range

From Thursday, 27th February 2025, Lush will launch their first-ever St Patrick’s Day range on lush.com and in shops in Ireland and the UK. The collection is inspired by the celebration of celtic symbols of tradition and folklore, creating a perfect gift for your favourite person or yourself.

The 2025 Lush St Patrick’s Day range is part of Lush’s ‘Co-Create’ programme, a product creation programme for Lush employees which aims to promote diversity, inclusion, equity and belonging by lifting up authentic stories from respective communities. Carrie Mullan from Lush Belfast and Connaill Crawford from Lush Newry are Lush’s co-creators for this range.

Connaill Crawford from Lush Newry co-created The Craic Bath Bomb: 

“Craic [pronounced krak] is an Irish word for fun, and the most fun event in Ireland is time spent at a local pub enjoying a drink, music and friends. I wanted to create a bath bomb that captured all three. 

Many years ago I sat with friends in an old pub, where we shared stories, listened to the band play and were warmed by the hearth. I remember pausing and looking round the table and feeling a warmth like no other. The warmth of community and the music of the many is at the core of Irish culture and this bath bomb will give that warmth to everyone.”

The Craic Bath Bomb (£6 / €7) 

It’s a lovely day for friends, frothy stout and sharing stories round the fire. Finish the festivities in a warm bath with Ireland’s Celtic harp and bathe in soothing cedarwood and cinnamon. 

Warm spicy cinnamon pairs with cedarwood to create a fragrance with great depth and elegance. Together, they have the power to relax the mind and help ease emotions, the ideal bath bomb for a post-party soak. Sláinte!

Claddagh Soap (£6 / €7.50)

Gallúnach maith, leath na hoibre: A good soap is half the work. A delicate base of coconut, rice bran and rapeseed, infused with herbaceous pine and fir needle absolute this heartwarming gift celebrates love, loyalty and friendship while caring for their skin.The soap’s design is finished carefully by hand with a brush of glistening red lustre in the centre. Finished with love and attention, it’s the perfect gift for your special someone.

There’s a superstition about buying Claddagh rings, where you can’t buy your own, (although buying it for yourself could be seen as an act of self love!) so the idea that people could buy it and gift it to someone they love is heartwarming. My parents met on St Patrick’s Day, and use the Claddagh as a representation of their relationship, using it as their wedding rings. It ties them to their love, to each other, and their Irish heritage which I’m sure many people will be able to relate to”
