“Fancy a bath?” Lush is serving love, your way this Valentine’s Day
fancy a bath?
Lush’s loved-up Valentine’s Day collection launches on the 4th January 2024 in UK & Ireland stores and online.
With a whopping 34 products in total – 31 of which are brand new for 2024 – Lush’s new Valentine’s Day collection is inspired by all the different ways in which people show love – whether it’s a grand gesture, a whimsical gift or even just offering someone a small kindness, like running them a bath.
In true Lush style, the range covers bath, shower, body, face, and fragrance, along with a selection of gifts and eco-friendly gift wraps all featuring new designs too. Lush gifts are all wrapped in recycled and recyclable paper, which are either upcycled from waste paper, cotton t-shirt offcuts, lokta or banana fibres. All tags and inserts are 100 per cent recycled and recyclable, and nearly 4 million discarded plastic bottles have been turned into Lush’s gift ribbons!
Why not get naked this Valentine’s Day? Lush believes beautiful products shouldn’t cost the earth, so 50 per cent of the 2024 Valentine’s Day range is ‘naked’ – which means it has no packaging at all! Many of Lush’s packaged products have a ‘naked’ counterpart (e.g. its tubed and naked mascaras), and this collection is no different – Passion Fruit Body Wash is the naked alternative to Passion Body Wash!
The other half of Lush’s Valentine’s Day range is packaged in Lush’s iconic recycled and recyclable plastic pots and bottles. Since 2008, the company has only used 100 per cent recycled plastic in all of its black pots and clear bottles. Lush shoppers help keep virgin plastics out of its packaging completely via the Bring It Back Scheme – for every black pot or clear bottle customers return to their local Lush store to be recycled, they get 50p off at the till. There is no limit to how many pots they can bring back in one go, so there is serious money to be saved in recycling!
With this year’s Valentine’s Day range, we really wanted to empower customers to create loving experiences with themselves and others, while reinforcing that there isn’t one, binary way to celebrate this holiday.
The collection definitely leans into Lush’s trademark fun and playfulness, but also focuses on the quality of, and beautiful stories behind, our ingredients – nothing compares to a Lush bath! If I had to choose a favourite product, it would have to be Love Burger – so many layers of fun within one product!
Lush’s Love Burger serves three loved-up courses; a zesty Sicilian lemon burger patty bubble bar, layered with Rhubarb & Custard scented salad soaps, cuddled between cherry-fragranced bath bomb buns! The ultimate bathing gift, bathers can use all components together or separately.
The heart-shaped tomato soap nestled inside is made with real tomatoes! The refreshing, cooling and deodorising action of fresh tomatoes make them a powerful ingredient.
Delight in this berry and caramel-scented charm, packed with popping candy and sprinkled with the root of the orris flower. Inventor Michelle wanted to use this ingredient as it was traditionally used in ancient love potions!
Pop in the tub for gorgeous lilac bath art, and an aroma of strawberries and raspberries with a sweet caramel candy-like background. Includes almond oil, loved for its conditioning effect on the skin, and for the nutty, fruity and cherry notes it gives to the scent.

Whisper your heart’s desire into this citrus filled bath bomb or, if gifting to your favourite person, write a secret note and pop it inside! The inventors added a loving dose of epsom salts to help you unwind and restore balance to tired, achy muscles.
This viral sensation is back again with a new look! Engulf all the senses in Lush’s signature Rose Jam scent, and soothe skin in a nourishing, shimmery bath filled with confetti-like flowers, petals and buds. Lush uses in-season flowers from growers across the UK to fill this luxurious and theatrical blooming beauty!
Fancy a bubble bath with even more skincare benefits? Fair Trade organic cocoa butter is grated through this product to disperse across the water and the bather within it! A bubble bar with a difference – pure cocoa butter suds provide in-bath moisturisation like never before.
These happy piglets are inspired by chia seed puddings. Chia seeds are soaked in soya milk which releases a skin softening gel, making for a milky and moisturising cleanse.
Candy-like, sweet and creamy – the scent is a mixture of Lush’s best selling Super Milk and Milky Bath fragrances for the yummiest smelling soap ever!
For a hot and steamy shower, lather up with fresh red rose infusion and sweet passion fruit juice mixed in with mesmerising plastic-free sparkly lustre.

Shake up the tradition of giving flowers and chocolates this Valentine’s Day with this indulgent, vegan body wash. Chocolate-lovers will love this creamy, silky body wash featuring rose, vanilla and coconut milk to help hydrate even the most delicate skin.
This cooling and softening sheet mask is home to plenty of skin-brightening pomegranate juice, moisture-locking glycerine and vitamin E which strengthens the skin barrier, allowing skin to retain moisture and stay hydrated.
Most sheet masks contain preservatives and come with lots of non recyclable packaging. This mask comes with compostable packaging, and is self preserving!
Give lips a sweep of hydrating oils and butters with the tangy taste of orange and grapefruit! This luscious lip butter is travel-sized, vegan and made with a perfectly smooth, whipped texture that instantly melts on the lips.
Housed in Lush’s iconic black packaging – since 2008, the company has only used 100 per cent recycled plastic in all of its black pots and clear bottles. Lush shoppers help keep virgin plastics out of its packaging completely via the Bring It Back Scheme – for every black pot or clear bottle customers return to their local Lush store to be recycled, they get 50p off at the till. There is no limit to how many pots they can bring back in one go, so there is serious money to be saved in recycling!
Designed to be used in an oil burner to scent the home, or in a bath to scent and deeply moisturise the body, this Lush Melt is floral scented especially for Valentine’s Day.

Embrace yourself in fruity scented and softening seaweed squeezes! This bath bomb houses plenty of carrageenan and agar agar to leave your water and skin feeling silky. Gift to your bestie or, with its chunky design, this one is big enough to share your bath with a loved one! The scent is playful, cheerful and zesty with lots of grape-like notes.
In a warm, relaxing bath, juniper berry oil revives worn-out bodies and helps replenish tired spirits. Woody and fresh, its fragrance sometimes reminds people of an aroma they know… gin! This berry is used to flavour the trendy beverage. Lush buys its juniper berry oil from Hungary, where they’ve worked with the same family business for over 15 years.
This fruity floral four-wheeler is the perfect bath bomb for anyone wanting an uplifting bathing experience, complete with multi-coloured bath art and a cheerful fragrance, thanks to plenty of lemon and orange oil. Under the hood is Lush’s glitter alternative, adding extra shimmer to the tub!
Lush has been sourcing its Sicilian lemon oil from the same family business for over 15 years. Lemons thrive under the Sicilian sun (wouldn’t we all?) and, grown without pesticides, they’re collected by hand and pressed entirely with their peel.
Treat that special someone to a creamy berry bath with this bubbleroon! Strawberries have been long associated with Valentine’s Day and romance, but they also contain malic and citric acids (also known as fruits acids or AHAs) which keep the skin bright and clean.
Fair Trade organic cocoa butter sits at the creamy centre of this berry delight, which melts into the water for a softening, soothing and moisturising bath.

After use, remove the label and add the biodegradable barrier paper to your home paper recycling or compost.
A raspberry seed oil lip scrub full of goodness, not just for lips but for the environment too – Lush purchases raspberry seed oil from a European company whose focus is to achieve zero-waste production – as these seeds are a byproduct of the fruit juice and jam industry!
Designed to be used in an oil burner to scent the home, or in a bath to scent and deeply moisturise the body, this Lush Melt is scented with delicate petals of rose, violet and geranium.
Floral, sweet and uplifting, this creamy melt is made from Fair Trade Organic cocoa butter. Lush’s Sierra Leonean cocoa butter supplier works with communities living on the edge of the biodiversity-rich Gola Rainforest, home to pygmy hippos. They support farmers in protecting and conserving the forest, encouraging them to stop deforestation and encroachment on wild land – instead growing in biodiversity-friendly ways.
Be bold, unapologetically yourself and strut in a truly unique and flamboyant limited-edition scent inspired by the ‘80s. Citrus pith, fruity notes, a warm, spicy base with a touch of cyanide from almond oil is sure to turn heads…
Lush formulates all its fragrances in-house using only the finest essential oils and absolutes. Co-founder and product inventor Mark Constantine OBE believes, “Perfumery is an expression of things that have happened to us, or things we feel emotionally attached to.”
Perfumer Emma listened to lots of ‘80s music while distilling this perfume. Inspired by the gender bending artists of this era, this is a gender-neutral perfume – “I wanted to make something that seemed quite unique, it was such an experimental time”.
A delicate, floral and slightly sweet pillow spray scented with ylang ylang, rose and jasmine, for an added touch of romance. Not just for pillows, this light fragrance can be spritzed onto pyjamas, throughout the bedroom to encourage sweet dreams, or as a perfume. The heady, sweet and floral scent of ylang ylang oil uplifts the mood and is said to reduce anxiety – it’s also considered a great aphrodisiac…
The base of all of Lush’s fine fragrances is denatured ethanol, helping scent last on the skin for longer. Sourced from a regenerative sugarcane plantation in Brazil, Lush’s supplier has built forest corridors to allow wildlife to move safely through the area. Over 300 species live or regularly visit the land, including wild cats.

Made from recycled plastic bottles and designed by Blue Room – Bluecoat’s inclusive arts project supporting learning disabled and neurodivergent artists . Blue Room artists explore contemporary art at the art centre in Liverpool, North West England with support to create and share their own work. 50cm x 50cm.
Building Together is one of a series of collaborative collages by Blue Room artists created using a playful approach. In a game of ‘pass the paper’, each artist added their own mark to the collage using print offcuts and scrap paper shapes, before passing the piece along to the next artist in the studio. The process was repeated until every shape had been placed and 12 abstract collages had been created by many hands.
Made from 100% organic cotton, grown organically to build healthy soils which reduce water usage. 70cm x 70cm.
Made from recycled plastic bottles, 100cm x 100cm. Designed by Studio Upstairs – an arts and health charity with studios in Bristol and London which foster creative therapeutic communities for people with mental health or emotional difficulties.
When working on the design for this Valentine’s-themed knot wrap, the artists wanted to explore the true meaning of love and caring for others. After a discussion on Valentine’s Day and what that day means beyond hearts and the colour red, each artist added their unique style to a communal canvas.

Since establishing in 1995, Lush has been driven by innovation and its ethics. Creators of pioneering beauty products, one of Lush’s most well-known creations is the bath bomb. Invented in 1989 by Lush Co-Founder Mo Constantine in her garden shed, bath bombs have become a global sensation – all hand pressed in Lush’s own manufacturing sites across the world, Lush sold over 40.5 million last year.
A beauty company with a campaigning heart, Lush is on a mission to create a product for every need and a cosmetic revolution to save the planet. The ultimate goal is to leave the world Lusher than we found it.
Lokta wraps are an alternative to traditional paper wrapping and handmade from the inner bark of the Lokta plant in Nepal. Lokta wraps are recyclable and reusable. To reuse the lokta, just place a cloth over the paper and iron to smooth out the wrinkles. Both Valentine’s Day lokta paper designs were created this year by Lush shop team members. 35cm x 35cm
