Lush
Lush is a British-founded cosmetics brand known for its commitment to ethical values, including handmade fresh products, vegetarian and mostly vegan formulations, and strong opposition to animal testing. Founded in 1995 in Poole, England, Lush expanded globally with an emphasis on activism, minimal packaging, and sustainable sourcing.
Product Variety and Ethical Focus
The Canadian site offers a wide selection of skincare, bath bombs, hair care, body lotions, fragrances, and spa experiences. Products often feature natural ingredients, eco-friendly packaging, and seasonal collaborations. The brand operates its own manufacture in Canada, supporting local production.
Digital Tools and Customer Engagement
Lush provides a dedicated mobile app—available through App Store and Google Play—that offers early product access, loyalty rewards via Lush Club, immersive bath experiences like “Bathe,” and Lush Lens for scanning packaging-free products to learn about ingredients and get recommendations.
Corporate Structure and Canadian Ownership
Lush Ltd., a privately held UK company headquartered in Poole, England, is the global parent. In 2022, Lush acquired its North American operations entirely (previously a joint venture), gaining full control over Canadian business.
Final Perspective
For Canadians seeking handcrafted, ethically aligned beauty products with a strong environmental and social mission, Lush offers a compelling and authentic choice—enhanced by digital tools, fresh product lines, and a commitment to cruelty-free and vegan innovation.
