Lush giving away free bath bombs this week – how to get your hands on one

Lush staffers say the fizzy little friend is like a hug in a bath and you can treat yourself to a beary soothing soak.

Or, if you're feeling super kind, you can pay it forward and gift to a loved-one to spread a little love.

There's no minimum price, a purchase of any value will qualify customers to receive a free Violet Bear or Candy Bear.

Both bath bombs are packed with moisturising Illipe Butter sourced from a social enterprise on Borneo that aims to protect and preserve the rainforest through sustainable sourcing, providing around 700 families with a fair income. 

Each bear has a distinctive fragrance - one is scented with refreshing, zesty “sunshine in a bottle” bergamot oil and blackcurrant absolute, while the other has a more floral scent thanks to violet leaf and rose absolute. 

Lush’s Pakinstani rose absolute is produced from Damask roses grown in Pakistan without pesticides, thanks to permaculture techniques.

The bears are hand pressed in Lush’s Dorset bath bomb factory.

Kasey Swithenbank, Lush UK&I head of retail, said: “We’re thrilled to celebrate World Kindness Day by offering our customers a little extra joy when they pop into their local store to pick up their favourite Lush goodies.

"Kindness is at the heart of everything we do at Lush, and what better way to spread a bit of kindness than with a free bath bomb.

"This day is a reminder to us all that small acts can go a very long way."

Meanwhile, Lush is launching a brand new store in Scotland.

The shop is dedicated to the brand's hit Snow Fairy products and opens in time for Christmas.
