Founded in 1995 by six co-founders—Mark and Mo Constantine, Rowena Bird, Helen Ambrosen, Liz Bennett, and Paul Greeves—Lush began as a small cosmetics shop in Poole, Dorset, UK. Since then we have been pioneers in the beauty industry, committed to creating fresh, handmade products that are as kind to the planet as they are to your skin. We pride ourselves on using ethically sourced ingredients and developing cruelty-free, innovative products that challenge the status quo. Our dedication to environmental sustainability and ethical practices is embedded in everything we do. At Lush, we strive to leave the world lusher than we found it. This means actively working to reduce our environmental footprint through packaging-free products and supporting causes that matter. We fight for animal rights, promote fair trade, and push for real, meaningful change in the beauty industry. Our mission is about more than products—it’s about changing the way the world sees beauty. As a 10% employee-owned company, Lush values the contributions of every individual. Our team is the driving force behind our creativity, innovation, and commitment to a better future. By empowering our people and staying true to our mission, we continue to lead the charge for a more ethical, sustainable, and inclusive beauty industry.

Founded in 2005, MooGoo started when Craig Jones noticed his mother using a cow udder cream for psoriasis. Realising the potential, Craig reformulated it into a lighter, more user-friendly product and thus MooGoo was born. What began as a solution for his mother’s skin concerns has grown into a global skincare brand with over 40 products. Our mission is simple: create effective, healthy skincare products using ingredients we trust. We focus on natural, non-irritating ingredients and always test products thoroughly, ensuring they meet our high standards. MooGoo continues to evolve, staying true to our philosophy of honesty and integrity in skincare. From soothing sensitive skin to natural dental care, we prioritise quality and transparency, with Craig still actively involved in product development. We’re committed to making products that work and doing right by our customers. Explore our range and discover why MooGoo is more than just a skincare brand—it’s a commitment to healthier skin for everyone.
