Company mission
Lush's mission is to provide beauty lovers with handmade, wonderful cosmetics. It does this with a fundamental focus on sustainability, prioritising fresh ingredients, combating animal testing, and reducing packaging for its shower gels, bath bombs, shampoo, moisturisers and much more.
8% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
Cosmetics is simultaneously one of the largest, and one of the most polluting, industries in the world. But Lush doesn't believe good quality beauty products have to have such a damaging impact on the environment.
Instead, it sets itself apart by producing all-natural, and ethically sourced cosmetics. All of its products are handmade, vegetarian, and are not tested on animals, whilst still doing good to users' skin.
With this approach, Lush is aiming to make sure that cosmetics and environmental sustainability are not mutually exclusive, helping to revolutionise the hundreds-of-billions-sized cosmetics industry.
