ProsThe Lush employee at the checkout mentioned this was her mother's favorite soap. It's understandable, as the powdery scent reminds me of a designer fragrance you'd find at a department store. It has a Chanel-esque vibe. Unlike Lush's typically bold and quirky scents, this one exudes a sophisticated, wealthy woman's aroma. I can see why it appeals to the mature crowd. Though, to be honest, my own mother would probably find it too strong.
Lush is committed to being vegan, cruelty-free, and palm oil-free. They offer numerous zero-waste options and run various environmental protection campaigns. Additionally, their plastic packaging can be returned to stores, contributing to resource recycling.
ConsThe soap is decorated with embedded dried fruits like raisins, apricots, and cranberries. While it's fun and appealing, you need to be careful as these bits tend to fall off during use and could potentially clog the drain. I find myself cleaning the shower drain along with my hair after each use. Some pieces have likely already gone down, but no issues so far. Also, the soap tends to soften quickly.
It's disappointing that Lush still uses potentially harmful chemicals (fragrances, surfactants, etc.), and their production process isn't entirely transparent. While they're more sustainable than typical beauty companies, and it's appealing to have such options from a large corporation, I'm increasingly drawn to supporting smaller companies with even better products. These are businesses that, despite limited capital and resources, have a strong philosophy and lead in environmental protection. I hope to see more such brands emerge in Korea.
