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.

The Art of Shaving makes the finest grooming products a man can put on his skin. Born in New York City in 1996. We started as a single shop on the Upper East Side with a simple idea: a better shave comes from better products and a little technique. That became Three Steps. One Exceptional Shave. Pre-Shave Oil, Shaving Cream, After-Shave Balm. Thirty years later we still make our creams with essential oils and botanicals, and we still believe the ten minutes you spend at the sink should be the best ten minutes of your day. Find us at theartofshaving.com, on Amazon, and at department and specialty stores nationwide.
