halloween 2023
Lush has revealed its 2023 Halloween collection, featuring bath bombs, bubble bars, glow-in-the-dark soaps, shower slimes and more!
Launching in stores and online Thursday 31st August (and exclusive early access via the Lush app from Tuesday 29 August) with plenty of newness and some returning favourites, Halloween is always one of Lush’s biggest collections – and this year is no exception.
Bestselling, fan-favourites such as Bart Art bath bomb, Alien bubble bar and glow-in-the-dark Ghostie soap will be making a comeback this year, all handmade in the UK using ethically-sourced essential oils, and packaging-free.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the collection, Erica Vega, Brand Product Expert at Lush, said: “Halloween is pure shrieking delight, and we have no shortage of strange and unusual treats.
“Lush loves the characters of Halloween – screaming banshees, vampires, aliens and mummies are all invited to the monster mash! We have ways to tickle all the senses – dip into sparkling slime, let fruity scented octopus tentacles slither over your hands, or taste the nostalgic candy corn lip scrub.”
