Lush
Lush supports ethical buying and sources the safest and most sustainable ingredients possible. They fight animal testing and make 100% vegetarian, cruelty-free products. Lush practices “naked” packaging, which reduces packaging waste and saves millions of plastic bottles from being produced, transported, and disposed of every year. Their items as well as their shops are handmade and handcrafted.
With a passion for giving back, Lush Cosmetics invented a “philanthropic skin softener” called Charity Pot. Charity Pot, a self-preserving body lotion, includes seven ingredients from Sustainable Lush Fund projects around the world. Fair Trade She Butter is the featured natural/ sustainable ingredients. 100% of the purchase price (every penny minus the taxes) of Charity Pot goes towards supporting humanitarian, environmental and animal rights causes.
To date, Charity Pot has donated more than $18 million to 1,400+ grassroots charities in 42 countries around the world.
The moldable, multi-purpose soap called FUN is another of Lush’s products that gives back. 2.5% of the sales of each bar goes directly towards the Lush FunD, which offers funding and support to grassroots charities that work toward creating safe places for children to play in Fukushima, Japan.
Knowing these businesses are doing their part to make this world a little bit better means I can feel good buying from them. Thank you Purpose Over Profit!
