Angel, i have tried a few things from Lush and have had itchy sore skin. it states they use natural ingredients in their products and after looking in detail some are but the main ingredients are not for instance they use artifical perfume. you can tell stright away when you walk past the shop( i start to sneeze )it is'nt natural. have tried their block deodorant too, had really sore chapped skin. sorry if this is off topic.

Hi, I'm new here but saw this thread and had to comment as I know LUSH pretty well.

Firstly, all the ingredients are natural. IF you look at the label it tells you the essential oils which are in there. THEN it says Perfume, but it's not a perfume, it's another essential oil, but for obvious reasons (or maybe not for some) they don't put the oil's name because people will then take the ingreds and copy the product and make it themselves. EVERYTHING is natural aside from the safe preservatives. It would be a lie if they called it natural and it wasn't and they were actually putting unatural perfumes in there. Lush could get in huge trouble for saying they were something they weren't. If you don't believe me then read up on some stuff yourself. If you go to their site they will tell you all about it.


ALso, it's fine to ask for samples IF there is something you need to try. You have sensitive skin, then I recommend letting the SA know and say you would like to try any of the products specifically for sensitive skin. But going to the counter, having not bought anything or let any of the assistants help you with the products and then demanding a sample is a bit cheeky I think.

There are things in there for most people.

Thanks for listening, sorry I barged in, but I don't like people assuming something and saying things about a company which aren't exactly true.

p.s. the deo, if you use it on wet skin it may fizz as they have bicarb in them. Or if you used the cream one, that has loads of bicarb and don't rec. using after shaving. Other than that the deos are really good, especially the Aromaco and Aromarant which are quite gentle.

i never said i 'demanded'. i said i explained teh condition of my skin smiled and asked nicely, theres a big difference. i dont think its cheeky to ask nicely, i think its savvy, but each to their own i suppose....

Hi,

no no no it's fine to ask if you have a condition or something you want to try. Sorry I wasn't directing that bit at you, it was for the rest who were just going to go in and ask for samples just to get them. but going in and asking if there is something SPECIFIC you want then totally go for it.

Also they dont do samples just to have them. They want people to ask to use certain things. Could you imagine the loads of samples and rummaging they would have to do if they had every sample in the store sitting behind the til. I just think people should think about it.

Didn't mean it the way it came out.

what they did for me is cut little bits off a few different soaps and the SA weighed them until they wer eunder £1 worth.

Actually i DID look at the ingredients and lush say themselves that only some are natural. you said ALL the ingredients are natural ,then.. everything is ..aside from the preservatives. i have been buying natural creams etc for years and know that essential oil is natural and perfume is artificial. i did'nt assume either. if you use essential oils you don't add perfume. :rolleyes:

my mum reckons theyre full of unatural stuff too and she buys them all the time.

THe perfume is not a perfume, LIKE I SAID. I worked there for two years. I think I know what goes into them and what doesn't. I've seen the stuff made I know the behind the scenes.

Thanks but you ARE wrong on this one. The smells you smell are natural essential oils, fruits, veg, plants everything.

They do not add synthetic perfumes to it. It would be pointless. What you smell is the natural thing. Of course though if something is liquid it will have a preservative and if it is a shampoo then it will contain Sodium L. Sulphate. BUT the smells are natural.

:rolleyes:

freebie_junkie

isnt a perservative unatural?

miacat

freebie_junkie, you can get natural and unnatural preservative's.

beebee... I THOUGHT YOU HAD WORKED THERE SOMEHOW!!
I'm not knocking Lush. so..CHILL :rolleyes:
