Comments: Sales fell more than 6% last year, which the company blamed on covid-related store closures. There are more than 900 Lush shops around the world and the company has 12,000 employees.
In June, Lush Cosmetics launched “Pollinators Make It Possible” in collaboration with Pollinator Partnership, to demonstrate the various foods we all eat that rely on pollinators. The brand emptied its shelves and halted sales at a flagship location to demonstrate the crucial role pollinators play in the fresh ingredients used in Lush products.
In other news, after 15 years, Lush’s Charity Pot hand and body lotion has raised £61 million (more than $72 million) for grassroots charities across the globe. Created in 2007, Charity Pot hand and body lotion raises money for small charities, campaigning groups and other good causes. All of the retail price paid by customers buying Charity Pot products (minus the sales tax) is granted to grassroots organizations working for animal protection, human rights and environmental protection around the world.
In response to multi-faced media needs, Lush Cosmetics recently launched its first-ever podcast in North America. Called “Sound Bath: Conversations that Cleanse,” the host is blues poet and storyteller Aja Monet.
Monet engages in conversations with society’s changemakers that disrupt and dismantle existing ideas of self-care and unpack big topics in mental, physical, social and environmental wellbeing.
The podcast reinforces the brand’s focus and commitment to wellness, followed by their recent global decision to leave popular social media channels due to their negative mental health impacts. In November 2021, Lush deactivated its Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and Snapchat accounts in an effort to address consumers’ mental health challenges.
