Because Being Courageous is Gorgeous!

Since establishing over 25 years ago, Lush has been driven by innovation and ethics.

Have you ever experienced going to a mall and suddenly you had to follow where that ridiculously fantastic scent is coming from? Our senses led us to this place long ago, and the ultra-sensory products are from LUSH. The brand has been known for its uniqueness in that it claims to commit to nature and its customers. Their products have been known to sell themselves without the usual commercial packaging. You walk into one store, and you get to see their products in all their naked glory.

They are the creators of pioneering beauty products such as the fizzing bath bomb, shower jellies, and solid shampoo bars; they emphasize fresh ingredients like organic fruits and vegetables, fight against animal testing, and combat over-packaging by developing products that can be sold "naked" to the customer without any packaging.

Lush was founded in 1995 by six co-founders; Mo Constantine, Mark Constantine, Rowena Bird, Helen Ambrosen, Liz Bennett, and Paul Greeves.

After closing their previously successful mail-order business, Cosmetics To Go, the same team created and inspired this new venture called Lush. It is 10% Employee-Owned thus, its corporate values are based on the significant contribution of its people.

Mark Constantine, the Co-Founder and Inventor of Lush wasn't alone when the company was established in 1995. He was with five friends and a product development team creating hair, skincare, body creams, and spa treatments.

They are also one of the pioneers against animal testing and developed a Supplier Specific Boycott Policy for those who test its materials on animals. In a Channel 4 documentary program, he further explained his stand to the British people by telling them how they ended up in landfill and became a strong selling point of Lush products - solid and without packaging.

Mark and his wife, Mo Constantine, received their OBEs in 2010's Queen's New Years Honours List for their services to the beauty industry and, consequently, made it to the BBC British Wildlife Most Influential List.
