Alban Elfed
Soap
As the power of the sun wanes, we celebrate the fruits of the harvest that will feed skin and soul in the cold, dark days to come. This sweet apple juice soap is made with sacred oakwood, finely blended portobello mushrooms and simmered hazelnuts.
In addition to the 100g slices, large 2.8kg display versions of the soaps are available. Just like a painting on a canvas, these versions have additional details and decoration - from hand painted details to additional soap mixes dropped and swirled on top.
How to use:
Lather up under running water, wash, then rinse, to leave you feeling squeaky clean.
How to store:
Store your soap in a dry and cool place, like one of our soap dishes.
About the Jamie Reid X Lush Collaboration
Inspired by the punk spiritualism of visual artist and Honorary Bard Jamie Reid and our shared love of the ancient ways, this special soap is one in a collection that celebrates a holy festival from the Druidic calendar. Jamie Reid was a radical protest artist, with a life-long interest in Druidry, who used his art to rally against social and cultural injustices. Jamie most famously designed the artwork for the Sex Pistols single ‘God Save the Queen’, which was lauded as the single most iconic image of the punk era. He also designed the album covers for musician, Lush’s music director and fellow druid, the late Simon Emmerson’s band Afro Celt Sound System.
Mo Constantine (Lush Co-Founder & Product Inventor) and her son Jack (Lush Product Inventor) took inspiration from Jamie Reid’s works of art that represent the four solar observances in the Druid’s wheel of the year and created a soap depicting each. These festivals represent our interconnectedness with the planet, and our mission to leave the world Lusher than we found it.
You'll be able to find all four soaps on our website and mobile apps, and in our largest anchor stores around the world. While our smaller shops will stock each soap in line with the solar observance that inspired it.
