Unique stories

Emulsifiers are very important to Lush, as they allow the use of many fresh and natural ingredients, such as vegetable oils and butters, flower infusions and fruit juices. When Lush inventors create a product, they choose from a range of different emulsifying materials according to the textures and effects they want to achieve, while keeping in mind that the products must be pleasant to use. Cetearyl olivate & sorbitan olivate, for instance, is ideal for use in bodycare as it is moisturising without leaving a sticky feeling on the skin.
