This O.G. Organic Brand is Having a Renaissance on TikTok—12 Products They Can’t Keep Stocked
If you’re a millennial like me and spent your teen years trolling the mall on a weekly basis, you probably remember being drawn like a magnetic to your local, ultra-fragrant Lush store. Always packed with crowds and brimming with products every color of the rainbow, it was the ultimate treat to leave with even one or two items from the über popular establishment.
Even before then, Lush was founded and gained popularity in the U.K. in the ’90s. It was created upon the ethos of using mostly organic ingredients in its formulas. Basically, Lush was at the forefront of clean beauty. Now, although there are many more amazing organic-based brands out there, Lush is having a bit of a renaissance thanks to platforms like TikTok which perfectly capture the fun and whimsical nature of its products. After all, the folks behind this brand literally invented the bath bomb—*the* most perfect item for quality self-care content.
Right along with the rest of social media, I’ve recently reacquainted myself with some old Lush favorites, but I’ve also tried some other new items recently that I’ve completely fallen in love with. And, because I simply couldn’t resist, I also asked the brand to give me the deets on the products they just can’t seem to keep stocked. For every product both fans of the brand and I can’t live without, keep scrolling. I’m sharing it all ahead.
Lush’s Best Selling Products of All Time
Lush
Sticky Dates Shower Gel
It’s no secret why this shower gel is a constant best seller for the brand. It’s every gourmand-lover’s dream with notes of organic date syrup and vanilla. In fact, even Love Island: USA starts like Leah Kateb consider it the ultimate bodycare staple. I also love this particular scent. It’s one of my most-used shower gels because it’s so silky and hydrating on the skin and when paired with the lotion, the deliciously sweet scent lingers long after a shower.
Lush
Intergalactic Bath Bomb
Lush, quite literally, created the bath bomb so it’s no surprise fans are loyal to the brand’s Intergalactic Bomb. It continues to be the brand’s top selling bomb of all time because it’s refreshing and minty with aromatherapy oils like peppermint, grapefruit, and cedarwood. Fans come for the relaxing vibes it brings, but stay for the swirling neon colors and popping candy inside (yes, you read that right).
It’s also a personal favorite and I fully get what all the hype is about. It just brings me so much joy to watch my own personal galaxy burst throughout the tub. It provides an instant mood boost so you know that means I try to stock up on it whenever I can.
Lush
Dream Cream Body Lotion
This best selling item is popular amongst those with sensitive, reactive skin—me being one of them. “Dream Cream is packed with a calming blend of oat milk, lavender and chamomile,” the brand shared. “It’s gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin. Olive oil and cocoa butter are great for softening up dry or chapped skin, and rose absolute helps to tone down redness and irritation.”
I can attest to this body lotion’s magical healing properties. My skin is acne- and redness-prone, but any time I use this after a shower, I’ll notice that any redness is gone almost instantly. It’s so incredibly calming and has never caused a reaction for me.
Lush
Ultrabland Facial Cleanser
As with all Lush products, this oil-based cleanser from the brand is designed for sensitive skin. Folks love it for its creamy texture and the formula was based on the O.G. makeup remover (loved by icons through the years like Marilyn Monroe), cold cream. According to the brand, cold cream was invented almost 2,000 years ago by a Greek physician named Galen. While many large cosmetics companies now fill it with lanolin and mineral oils to make it easier to mass produce, Lush opts for sensitive skin-friendly, gentle ingredients like honey, rose water, and almond oil.
Lush
Super Milk Conditioning Hair Primer
This leave-in conditioner from the brand is popular amongst those with curly and coily hair textures. It features hydrating and softening ingredients like almond milk, coconut milk, oat milk, and lemon juice to boost shine. The brand even said it’s so popular, it has been its number one best seller two years in a row.
This was one of the first products I’d ever tried from Lush and it’s still a favorite to this day. It’s minty, refreshing, and feels like the perfect at-home spa treatment. Kaolin clay deeply cleanses the pores while aduki beans gently exfoliate and honey leaves your skin feeling soothed and hydrated after use.
I love using it at least twice a week to refresh my super sensitive, reactive skin. It does a great job of clearing out congestion so I can give my more aggressive exfoliants a break. It’s such a treat for the skin and I can definitely see why it remains a hot commodity for the brand.
This exfoliating bar is so dang adorable. It’s both anexfoliating and hydrating honey buffer that can be used in both the bath and shower. It has bits of ground coconut shell and almonds in it to scrub and illipe, honey, and shea butter to really hydrate the skin. And, of course, the best part is that it’s shaped like a cute little bee purely for added joy.
Lush
Angels on Bare Skin Cleanser
Angels on Bare Skin is another long time favorite of mine and, apparently, a perpetual best seller for the brand. I know some of you might be hesitant to try a scrub that could potentially be abrasive, but trust me, it’s so gentle and hydrating that it truly feels heaven-sent. The base includes ground almonds and kaolin clay to buff away excess dirt and oil, but also contains glycerin and lavender, rose, and chamomile oil to calm the skin. It’s also completely soap-free.
My All Time Favorite Lush Products
Lush
Honey I Washed the Kids Shower Gel
When I tell you this shower gel has been a balm to my soul lately. Out of all the Lush shower gels I’ve tried, it’s easily the most hydrating with glycerin and honey, but what really gets me going is the gorgeous floral-fruity aroma it offers. Honey, orange oil, and bergamot oil are the star ingredients and rosehip and tiger lily infusion add extra softness to the skin.
This special collab with Katseye is out of the world. I’ve used some pretty incredible bath bombs from Lush, but this is by far my favorite ever. It creates the most beautiful purple infusion in the water with bits of glitter thrown in to give you a true pop star feel. Yes, it is messy and hard to clean out of the tub afterwards, but I loved the experience of using this so much that I gladly spent a few minutes scrubbing it off afterwards—no complaints.
Lush
Lord of Misrule Shower Gel
I guarantee if Lush sold its Lord of Misrule collection year-round, it would be on the brand’s list of top sellers consistently. It’s a fan and personal favorite that’s only sold during fall (a.k.a. Halloween season) and it smells incredible. Pepper, patchouli, and vanilla make up the Lord of Misrule scent. Not to mention the fun, Halloween-ready shade of both the shower gel and bath bomb. I’m totally hooked.
Right after Mask of Magnaminty, this was the second Lush product I ever tried and it still remains a favorite to this day. I use it whenever I want to do a light non-chemical body exfoliation. The scent is so refreshing and it leaves my skin feeling baby soft.
