LUSH Cruelty-free Christmas

Here are LUSH, Christmas is one of our favourite times of year. We spend months gathering inspiration, sourcing local and ethical ingredients, creating and testing our products on humans (not animals) before we come up with our fresh, handmade limited edition Christmas products and gifts.

We defy industry norms, by providing our passionate customers with ethical alternatives for their Christmas shopping and showing them the positive impact their dollar has when choosing LUSH.

FRESHNESS
All of our products are freshly handmade, locally in our LUSH kitchens. They are so fresh, that when LUSH products reach the customer, they are literally weeks, days or even just hours old. Not only that, but every product is labelled with the exact date that it was made, along with the person who made it, and the date you should use it by. This ensures maximum freshness and effectiveness of the product.

ETHICAL BUYING
Lush uses its buying power to affect positive change in the world by only buying from suppliers that respect the environment, as well as the animals and people living there. Our creative buying team travels all over the world to source the highest quality ingredients. Whether it's 100% recycled cardboard or hand-picked roses, biodegradable wrapping, we're always after the best environmental innovations across all areas of our material sourcing.

STRICT STANCE ON ANIMAL TESTING
Animal testing is a cruel practice that is still commonplace for most cosmetic companies. Here at Lush, we don't test any of our products on animals. Not only that, but we won't buy any ingredient or material from a supplier that tests any of their products on animals either. We've been against animal testing for over 30 years and will continue to inform, encourage and participate in the fight for animal rights.

ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY PACKAGING
Creating -Naked' and packaging-free products is at the core of Lush's philosophy. As little packaging as possible is used in our LUSH shops worldwide, and customers have the option of going completely -Naked' - referring to our products with absolutely no packaging at all - like our bath bombs, massage bars, and solid shampoo bars. This means that there is absolutely no environmentally damaging plastic packaging material used.

CHARITABLE GIVING
Lush's -Charity Pot' donates 100% of the money raised through the sale of this product to grassroots organisations and charities who work for environmental, human rights and animal protection issues. This is our way of giving back to the community, and supporting projects that work hard to bring about social change and protect the environment.

CAMPAIGNING
Lush frequently runs in-store campaigns to bring about change for various environmental, social, and animal rights issues. Do to our high volume of stores; we have a unique platform with which we can draw attention to such issues. Some of Lush's recent campaigns include; Anti-shark culling, fight for the endangered Maui Dolphins, marriage equality, anti-animal testing, human rights for the West Papuan people and asylum seekers.
