- Hey everybody, it's Erica Vega.
Today we are going to be talking about
naked packaging-free scrubs.
So we have a lot to offer in that realm at Lush.
I was going to tell you a little bit about
naked scrubs, in general,
and then also just show you a few of our favorites.
At Lush, we scrub a lot.
We do it with a lot of different things,
but one thing we don't do it with is microplastics.
They can have a really damaging effect on our waterways
and the creatures that live therein,
and so we want to make sure that whatever we're using
is coming from the Earth
and can go back to the Earth.
So we use a lot of different things to scrub at Lush.
Salt, sugar, we use ground rice, ground almonds,
ground almond shells, the list goes on and on.
And the cool thing about those, is not only
are they all-natural exfoliants, but they all
have their own inherent benefits, too.
So they're all gonna offer a big variety of
anything from, like, a really vigorous, hardy scrub,
to a really gentle one.
And they're all gonna have their added little benefits,
like using a little bit of ground almond,
it's got just a smidgen of
almond oil still left in those almonds
and that's going to leave a
really nice, supple feel on the skin.
Or using something like sea salt is gonna have a really,
like, cleansing, purifying, softening effect on the skin.
So not only are you getting the physical scrub,
but just that little added benefit
from those natural ingredients, as well.
So first, I wanted to talk about
body butters and shower scrubs,
because I think there's a lot of
variety to be found just within a few products.
So, depending on the effects you want,
it might change your mind about what you want,
even day to day.
So I want to start off with Buffy.
This is, like, super OG.
This is a cocoa butter and shea butter base
that has ground rice, ground almonds
and ground azuki beans, ground red beans.
This was inspired by a trip to Brazil,
where they saw people on the beach, taking suntan lotion
and rubbing that into their legs,
and then scooping up sand
and rubbing it on, and thought,
"gosh, what a great combination of
the oil and the scrub together."
And so Buffy is gonna leave a feeling
like you have lotion left on the skin,
but you still get that beautiful scrub.
So when you're done, you don't need
to put lotion on afterwards, you are good to go.
It was my only bridezilla moment that I had
in an otherwise calm wedding, when I forgot
my Buffy was a problem.
You probably also know Scrubby.
If you haven't tried this one yet,
it has a really similar feel to Buffy,
so it has that nice, rich feeling when you're done.
But this one has that beautiful
honey-I-washed-the-kids fragrance,
so you're probably loving it for that,
and then this one has the little,
the little bumblebee stripes is actually
a coconut shell
and so that's gonna give a really
nice, vigorous polish to the skin.
Albeit again, you're still gonna feel really sexy
and smooth afterwards.
So if you're looking for a little bit of a lighter feel,
like your skin just feels soft
but like you don't have lotion on,
we've also got the trick for you.
So, let me show you a couple of shower scrubs.
Here I've got The Rough With The Smooth.
Now this one is a sugar scrub
and it's in a murumuru butter base,
so the sugar is a really nice, fine polish,
and then the murumuru butter is almost like
a glossy oil that just sinks right
into your skin, so you feel really nice
and soft, but it's a nice, light scrub.
If you're looking for something a little fruitier,
we have Cherryish,
and this one is made with,
got some murumuru butter in there, too.
Some cocoa butter, shea butter,
illipe butter, lots of butters.
And then the exfoliants in here,
is some sea salt
and some ground up cherry pits,
so hence the name Cherryish.
Also it does have some dried cherries in there, too.
So this one is gonna give kind of
a similar texture as The Rough With The Smooth,
that one had sugar
and this one has salt, so you can imagine
probably a similar texture there,
but just a little more of a texture
with those cherry pits,
and so that's just gonna give a little bit more
of a hardy scrub than The Rough With The Smooth.
But both of these are gonna feel nice
and light when you're done.
We definitely have stuff outside of the body butter
and shower scrub ranges, too, so I just
wanted to show you a few other things.
And our naked scrubs.
So in soaps there's a lot of texture
to be had, as well, so I just
wanted to show you a couple of those.
So here we have our sea vegetable soap
and this one actually has,
you can see the top of it,
when you have a big block of it,
it looks almost like if you are flying
in an airplane over a tropical area,
where there's a lot of underwater coral
and small islands and stuff,
it looks just like that.
It's, like, topographical map.
So this has a bed a seaweed in there
and then some sea salt.
So as you wear that bar down,
you're getting a really nice scrub
with the two of those things.
Sea salt, again, has a really softening,
cleansing effect on the skin
and seaweed actually has a nourishing effect,
so you're kind of getting the
best of the sea with this one,
and it has this really fresh, breezy scent
with some lavender and some lime
and it's a real summer favorite, for sure.
So this is a super cool one.
This is Sandstone, it has a really fresh,
breakfasty lemon scent from the
litsea cubeba oil that's in there.
And this one, like the name implies,
has sand to do the scrubbing.
So this one, I always feel like when I use this one,
if I'm scrubbing on my leg, I feel like
the part that's about to get scrubbed on my leg
is actively being like, "Oh, me next, me next!"
So it has that really satisfying feeling
of getting a really good back scratch.
Sandstone is really, really refreshing, lively soap.
So when they make this one in the factory,
the sand is quite heavy
and so while they pour it, the sand starts to settle
and they have to get in there
and scoop it up to make sure that the sand
is all throughout the soap.
They're doing it really fast 'cause it's really hot
but they're getting in there
and stirring it up really good so you get
a nice, even coating of sand all the way through.
So it's a really, really reviving scrub
that I would definitely recommend
in the summertime, especially.
One more that I wanted to show you is Pumice Power
and this is actually over in our foot care range.
And it is a foot soap, so this one has a really
yummy sweet orange fragrance to it
and it has pumice, so it's almost like
a powder-feel, but a really nice, tough polish
that's really good for your feet.
You could also use it on your elbows
or on a tough area like that,
but that's gonna give really nice polish
to that area, to feel really nice and soft.
And then, because it is a soap,
you've got nice, clean feet, too,
so you'll be smelling fresh.
So, in terms of taking care of these,
especially the body butters with that
kind of melty, buttery base, I would recommend
keeping them dry as much as you can.
So, if you're traveling or you have a small shower
where they water's really getting everywhere,
I would recommend getting a tin,
like a body butter tin like this,
and that way that'll keep it nice and dry
and will keep it lasting a lot longer.
If you don't, it's cool, just put it up
on your shower shelf or just out of the way
of the direct hit of that hot water
and that way it will last a lot longer for you.
So that's just a little bit about our naked scrubs.
I just showed you maybe a third
of the naked scrubs that we have
and we also do have some ones that come in pots
and bottles, as well, so there's a ton
of things to look at if you want really soft skin.
So come on into the shop
and we can help you pick one out
or give us a call
and we'll help you pick one out.
So this is, again, just a conversation
between me and you.
I want to hear what you have to say about it,
so tell us what you think about the scrubs
and then also comment down below
about what you want to hear next time.
And then we will talk about that next time, okay?
