LUSH – Travel And Earth-Friendly!
Those of you that miss LUSH cosmetics can head to Hong Kong where the brand is still dishing out delightful little handmade treats. The environmental message lives on with some novel ideas that we spotted. Try these when you next pack for a trip as they save the Earth as well as luggage space. We like!
Forget toothpaste, try Toothy Tabs, a pack of 40 solid toothpaste tabs in a 100% recycled box that saves hundreds of toothpaste tubes heading to landfill. Crush in your mouth and brush as normal with your toothbrush and enjoy the fresh, minty hit with a hint of oranges. The sodium bicarbonate will clean teeth while the cream of tartar works to whiten them and spearmint freshens breath. Your mouth will be left feeling fresh and clean all day long.
The invention of solid shampoo bars saved nearly 5.7 million plastic bottles from being used and disposed of. Lush shampoo bars are small, convenient, easy to carry and easy to use. Use them just like soap to effectively clean the hair of everyday dirt and grime. Each bar lasts for over 80 washes, the equivalent of 3 bottles of 250g shampoo. There are ten varieties, including Squeaky Green and Godiva shampoo and conditioning bar.
