Lush Wins Award!

Lush has always used fresh, mostly organic ingredients in its bath and body items. The cruelty-free philosophy behind this company has garnered Lush an award from PETA.

Frequent readers of this section must have figured out by now how addicted I am to Lush bath and body products. The varied scents, the freshness, the organic ingredients all add up to a wonderful collection of body care items. Oh yeah, and the shampoos clean hair, and the lotions soften skin. What I'm saying is, Lush products are incredibly effective at what they are supposed to do, without using the chemicals and artificial ingredients other, similar product lines resort to.

And now, Lush's cruelty-free, fair trade, and no-animal-testing philosophy has won them real recognition: The CEO of Lush has been awarded PETA Europe's "Trail Blazer" award. Click here for PETA's news release. Mark Constantine, Lush's big boss, has arranged for Lush stores in Europe to help customers petition their governments to vote down legislation requiring animal testing for cosmetics. The very fact that posters in Lush store windows raise this issue raises public awareness.

As if I didn't like Lush enough already! Oh well...there are plenty of worse things I could be spending money on.
