Soap Tech Competitors

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.

Winning in clean technologies is complex—new technologies emerge, policies shift, and it’s hard to know which opportunities will scale and which will fail. By blending human intelligence, proprietary data, and the global network we’ve cultivated for more than 20 years, we deliver insights you can trust and guidance you can act on. Whether you’re shaping corporate strategy, scaling innovation, investing capital, or designing policy, your Cleantech Group membership gives you the full picture and the connections that unlock growth. In a fast-moving, high-stakes environment, we help you see clearly, act confidently, and lead the transition.

Soap & Glory has been supporting the Clean of England since 2006, and within weeks of Soap & Glory’s first launch, the word – and the gloss – on almost everybody’s lips was the (now iconic) super-plumping Sexy Mother Pucker™. Soon after, Soap & Glory’s Righteous Butter™ Body Butter was voted Britain’s Best Body Butter* and our Make Yourself Youthful™ anti-aging peptide serum took The Times beauty awards gold star. The bar was set high. And every single Soap & Glory product that followed has been brilliant. Now proud purveyor of an absolutely fabulous full range of beauty, body and bath-stuffs, Soap & Glory recommends putting your products on with happiness and abandon, because they believe while beauty absolutely matters, it doesn't matter absolutely.
