Since establishing in 1995, Lush Cosmetics has
been driven by innovation and its ethics.
Lush
places emphasis on using the freshest ingredients possible, including whole
fruits and vegetables.
Freshness
is intrinsic to Lush – it’s at the heart of their philosophy. It means they minimise the use of
synthetics and it means thatthey create wonderfully effective products when
the ingredients are at their most potent.
When Lush products reach the customer, they are literally weeks, days or
even just hours old. No product in any
of their shops is more than 6 months old.
What I love most about Lush is the
ethics the started the business with, which are still as important today as they were
then. For example they enforce a strict policy
against animal testing (all our products are vegetarian) and to this day are
still fighting against tests on animals, not just for cosmetics purposes but
for any purpose. In 2012, they launched the
Lush Prize which is a quarter of a
million annual prize fund, run in conjunction with Ethical Consumer, rewarded
to politicians,
lobbyists, researchers and scientists who are actively working to end animal
testing. They run
campaigns on issues ranging from those which are a core part of their business,
such as: animal testing, palm oil,
vegetarianism and packaging; to
those which are unrelated to the business but are causes we feel strongly
about, such as: fox hunting, shark finning, an end to torture and the right to a fair
trial, climate change and destitute refugees.
Fur means
unnecessary animal suffering and killing!
Why we need to be fur
free?
On the street you see many young people wearing coats with fur collars
attached to them. A few years ago, fur was no longer common; it was a symbol of
animal cruelty. Nowadays, if you wear fur you seem to be cool.
