Since its establishment in 1995 in the UK, Lush has opened over 900 shops worldwide in nearly 50 countries. Creators of pioneering beauty products such as the fizzing bath ballistic, shower jellies, solid shampoo bars and toothy tabs, Lush believes in making effective products from fresh, organic fruit and vegetables, the finest essential oils, and safe synthetics. Inventing its own products fresh by hand with little to no preservative or packaging, using only vegetarian ingredients from companies that do not test on animals, Lush has been awarded the RSPCA Good Business Award for 2006 and 2007, the 2006 PETA Trailblazer Award for Animal Welfare and the International Fund for Animal Welfare ‘Business of the Year’ award for 2010.
