Lush has you covered

Lush has impressive green credentials. It’s one of the few all natural cosmetic brands (its products are 100 per cent vegetarian) and it doesn’t buy from companies that carry out, fund or commission animal testing. In fact, they test their products on human volunteers before they’re sold to the public.

Skincare: four ingredients you should avoid, and is organic the way to go?

Carrying on with this theme, the company ishosting Lush Live Central on May 12-13, an event where the public can learn more about and debate topics including humanand animal rights, and the environment.

There will also be handmade soap workshops on site. Limited charity items will be on sale with proceeds donated to the brand’s charity partners.
