Do Lush bath bombs cause irritation? ›

The aggressive and often abrasive chemicals used in bath bombs can do more harm than good, dry-out, or irritate your skin. Furthermore, additives like dye and glitter can be difficult to remove, causing skin irritation to worsen.

What is the difference between a bubble bar and a Lush bath bomb? ›

Although similar in ingredients and texture, the objective of both products vary. The purpose of the bubble bar is to create mounds of bubbles on top of the water, whereas the bath bomb is designed to fizz under the water whilst also creating mesmerising patterns of colour.

What does SP mean on Lush products? ›

Self-preserving means that products are formulated to stay fresh, effective and safe to use without preservatives (as defined under Annex V of the E.U Cosmetics Regulations). But when it comes to keeping products effective, it's not just about what we take out but also what we add in.

What makes Lush bath bombs fizz? ›

Citric acid with sodium bicarbonate forms the basis of our explosive bath bombs. When added to the water, it creates carbon dioxide which causes a fizzing action. Many colours, fragrances, essential oils, flowers and herbs can be added to make uniquely fragrant bath products.

How do people make perfume dupes? ›

We'll go into depth in the steps below, but the general process for cloning a perfume is:

  4. Experiment with Blending.
  5. Let Your Fragrance Mature.

We believe in buying ingredients only from companies that do not commission tests on animals and in testing our products on humans.

Does Lush use artificial fragrance? ›

At Lush, we use several different synthetic musks, all of which belong to the macrocyclic lactones type. They are more expensive and less stable than other molecules available but have so far proven to be safe for health and the environment.
