1. Fighting animal testing.
Lush believes in buying ingredients exclusively from companies that do not commission product testing on animals. The company has spoken out against animal testing for years, focusing most of their efforts on strict policies. Not to mention, all products are 100 percent vegetarian, and more than 80 percent of those are vegan.
2. Fresh ingredients.
Lush makes their products from fresh, organic fruits and vegetables, essential oils and safe synthetics. Each product is handmade from ingredients purchased at farmers' markets and flower shops. This is so important — too often we're deceived by the beauty industry into purchasing and using products containing nasty, harsh chemicals that really shouldn't be anywhere near your skin.
3. Ethical buying.
The Lush team travels worldwide to all of their vendors and suppliers — tracing their ingredients, meeting and connecting with the growers and suppliers and ensuring care for the environment and fair conditions for the workers. This is actually really inspiring when you contemplate on all the efforts the company puts into grower, supplier and customer satisfaction.
4. Naked packaging.
Lush takes the protection of people, animals and the planet to another level through carefully thought out packaging. All containers and bags are made from 100 percent recycled, raw materials. Love for planet Earth!
5. Ethical campaigns.
Lush is huge on campaigning and activism. They believe in standing up for animal rights, protecting the environment and supporting humanitarian causes. The company basically uses their super-rad and effective products to help make a difference, and that's pretty rad and effective in itself.
6. The products.
The cleansers and moisturizers are amazing for your skin. The conditioners will save your hair from years of harsh chemicals and damage. The bath bombs will make for the coolest Instagram pictures you'll probably ever take. Lush products will change your life, and you'll be supporting a great company with any purchase.
