- Hey, everybody.
My name is Erica, and I'm a trainer here at Lush.
This is part of a new series that we're going to be doing
talking about some of our favorite products
or helping to introduce you to some new ranges,
and really just talking about issues
that are really important to us
and that we hope are important to you as well,
answering lots of questions.
So that's what we're here to do today.
So I'm gonna start off with my very favorite product
which is Ultrabland.
This is an almond oil cleanser and makeup remover
that has saved my life more than one time, I'll say that.
So Ultrabland being an oil-based cleanser,
it's kind of like a cold cream, okay.
So the idea rather than foaming up on the face
is that you will take that almond oil base,
massage it into the skin, and then you can just wipe it away
with a warm washcloth or even use, like,
a cotton pad and toner to take that away,
and what you're left with is really soft, supple skin.
So if you haven't used a cold cream-like product before,
it is different than a foaming cleanser.
A foaming cleanser is using soap
to wash away dirt and oil off of the skin,
where this is, really what it's doing is kind of
picking it up along with the oil and kind of capturing it
to just kind of gently slide off of the skin.
So with a foaming cleanser, you're gonna kind of left
with a kind of a nice tight feeling on the skin,
which some people love, some people do not.
But with this, you're gonna be left with, like,
a dewy, plump, supple feeling.
So some people have thought
because it is an oil-based cleanser
that if you have oily skin, you shouldn't use it,
and that's totally not true.
Any kind of skin can benefit from Ultrabland.
So the way that that would work is that oil attracts oil
so they will just come together and leave the skin together,
so you're left with a nice soft feeling.
You're not feeling stripped
or like you've had too much oil removed,
but you're feeling nice and soft,
and then you can use the moisturizer
that's appropriate for you afterwards.
So not only is it a great facial cleanser
just for daily use, but it is a fantastic makeup remover.
So if you have, you know, I wear a lot of eyeliner.
I'm even talking about, like, drag-level makeup here.
You can use some of that, you just kind of warm it up
in the hands, get that going all over,
and then that washcloth will just take it right away
and leave you with the skin that God gave you.
So when you're using Ultrabland,
it's warming up on the skin and kind of almost
becoming like an oil, and the best thing about that is,
I find, with having used many makeup removers in the past,
especially when you get to the eyes,
they can really leave you, you know,
kind of, like, blinking in pain.
And Ultrabland is so smooth and gentle
that you can really get in there,
like along the lashline and everything,
and still feel comfortable when you're done.
You don't feel like you have residue of a makeup product
in your eye or, like, an alcohol-y
kind of feeling in your eye.
You just feel clean and fresh.
I've often described Ultrabland as my desert island product.
We tend to ask each other that a lot at Lush
and, for me, it's Ultrabland,
and I find that because yes, it is a facial cleanser,
but because of the simple properties of it
with just the oil base and some of the really
soothing ingredients, I use it for a lot of stuff.
So I travel a lot for my job,
so I tend to use it as my lip balm,
if I've got, like, a little dry patch on my elbow,
I have even shined my shoes with this stuff.
I mean, this is really something that can help out
a lot of situations.
If I've had, like, a little nick or a little burn
or something, I've put a little bit on that,
just like a little salve,
so, like I said, it saved my life in more than one way
more than one time, for sure.
Ultrabland has an ancient history.
So we have a few products in the shop
that have taken inspiration from very old recipes
like our Angels on Bare Skin cleanser, for instance,
is inspired from a medieval recipe,
but Ultrabland is even older than that.
So about 2000 years ago, so we're goin' way back here,
there was a Greek physician named Galen
who had put together a combination of olive oil,
and rosewater, and beeswax.
And that really became the first cold cream.
So something like that, of this,
like an oil base with some sort of tincture in there
and the beeswax has been used for centuries now
to cleanse and soften the skin and to moisturize the skin.
So that's kind of where the idea of a cold cream came from.
And then, now, we're gonna rewind about 40 years back.
So 40 years ago, we used to,
or we, I say we,
Mark Constantine and Liz Weir, who's now Liz Bennett,
had a salon called the Herbal Hair and Beauty Clinic,
and that was where they were looking at people's skin
and their hair and literally making up a fresh batch
of something right there to put onto their skin
or their hair to help them out that day.
So someone came in with some irritated, sensitive skin
and they made this cold cream concoction for her
to help out with her skin.
That woman was Helen Ambrosen,
who later joined our company and is one of our founders
and product inventors today.
So Ultrabland, even back then, before we had Lush,
before the company before that, before that,
it's been part of the Lush story for decades now.
So over the years, it has evolved into this almond oil base
that's filled with things like beeswax and honey.
Honey is a fantastic cleanser and antibacterial for the skin
with things like rose, which is really good
for helping to reduce redness and irritation
and just leaving the skin
a little bit more moisturized as well.
And all of that whipped together in that almond oil base
is what's gonna provide the ultimate, super gentle,
super thorough cleanse for the skin.
So there is a little bit of a technique to using Ultrabland,
so I want to make sure that you know how to do that,
so that you're getting the right feeling out of it.
It does need to be taken off with a warm washcloth
or a cotton pad and toner,
but it's really really easy to use,
so I don't want to shy you away from using it.
So a little bit goes a long way,
and I've actually just got
a little bit of eye makeup on my hand, too,
so you can just see what that's like.
It's a little bit of our Independent
from eyeliner from Lush.
So I'm just kind of massaging that on,
and really when you are getting this going,
the eye makeup just kind of starts to,
starts to come in contact with that oil base
and just starts to kind of do its work,
so I'm just massaging it into the hand or the face
and this is actually such a great massage medium as well.
Massage for the face can really help to flush away toxins.
It can help to bring fresh, oxygen-rich blood
to the cells to nourish those cells,
and can also help to exercise the muscles
underneath the skin, plus it's just really relaxing
and it feels good.
So I prefer to use a hot washcloth.
That's just what feels good to me
'cause I love that snuggly feeling
of using a warm washcloth.
But you just melt that right off
and you're good to go.
So you can see the eye makeup is completely gone.
And, like I said, you can also use a cotton pad and toner
as well, but I like the warmth of that
'cause that's also really gonna help the oils
and the butters to just kind of slip away nice and easy.
So a lot of times people will wonder
if Ultrabland is right for them.
In pretty much every single case,
the answer is gonna be yes.
People who have really dry skin
or even people have a lot of oily skin or acne issues
can also really benefit from Ultrabland.
It has a very centering effect.
And what I mean by that is, especially with oily skin
or skin that experiences a lot of acne,
there's kind of a pendulum effect that goes on with that.
So because the skin is oily,
of course you have that natural inclination
to want to mop it up and get rid of that oil
'cause that's what you feel is causing the issues.
So you mop that up but then what your skin does
is it feels panicked and kind of robbed of its natural oils
so it calls all of those oil glands into action
to produce more oil.
So what you're doing is mopping it up
and kind of drying out the skin too much
and then overproducing oil
and it just keeps going like that.
So a steady
diet of Ultrabland
can really help to kind of stop that pendulum swing
and find a nice central place for your skin
to calm and balance itself.
So your skin feels the soft nature.
It knows that its skin is not robbed of oil.
All of those oil-producing glands are feeling calm
and like they don't need to start running and producing oil.
And you really do start to balance out
and you find that those issues you may have experienced
are really starting to fade,
and you're finding a more central place for your skin
that's a lot happier than it maybe was before.
Let's talk a little bit more
about some of the ingredients in here.
Starts off with almond oil.
Almond oil is one of the finest oils
that you can use on your skin.
It's really rich in vitamin E
to keep the skin really healthy and functioning well.
This also has a rosewater.
So we use a lot of infusions at Lush.
It's just to make that water content more useful
so when we're talking about rosewater,
we're literally talking about getting a bouquet of roses
and plucking those blooms off
and putting them into water to steep.
So what you're left with is a water content
that's needed for this product,
but that has the benefits of rose oil built into it
so it's gonna help with that redness
and to really soften the skin,
but we need to use that water content.
It's a nice loose emulsion,
so what happens is the oil kind of almost like,
like, cups the water
and so when you put that on, it just almost, like,
breaks onto your skin so it's just really
soft emulsion that goes onto the skin.
Another really fantastic ingredient in here
is a tincture of benzoin.
Benzoin is, it kind of smells like vanilla,
but it has really wonderful soothing and protecting features
in that oil, so that's gonna go right into this product.
Also has beeswax and honey.
Beeswax is a really great way
to just melt that makeup right off or any dirt or oil
that you have onto the skin.
And it kind of smells like that, too.
Ultrabland does have, like, a warm kind of beeswax smell
which I find to be really comforting.
So that's Ultrabland, my very favorite product.
I hope you love it as much as I do,
and we really want to hear what you think about it.
