They stand on firm believes against animal testing and believe in natural products. The make cosmetics by hand for all parts of the body- from shampoos to foot scrubs, Lush has it all — naturally.

Lush is constantly creating new and wonderful products that are animal free and feel fabulous on the skin.

With each item handmade, the Lush staff takes pride in their work so much so that they put their face on each product they make.

“We make (our products) fresh by hand using little or no preservatives or packaging, using only vegetarian ingredients and tell you when they were made and by who,” the website reads. “We even put a sticker with a picture of the real person who made it on it.”

What Lush in Natick is really known for is their customer service.

Stephanie Bonini writes, “I  always have such an amazing time when I visit your store! All of the girls who work at your store are friendly and helpful- they always remember my favorites and know what is new since I last visited! I have to say, every LUSH store I have visited is really a great example of perfect customer service.”

It’s something they strive for along with using only natural products and never, ever touching anything tested on an animal.

Their first ever global campaign against animal testing is now in progress. Sign the petition in store or online.

“There is no excuse for others to animal test if we have not needed to,” the Lush campaign reads.
