Celebrate Vegetarian Awareness Month with LUSH Cosmetics

Did you know that every year about one million people in the United States become vegetarians?
Help LUSH Cosmetics and the rest of the herbivores celebrate Vegetarian Awareness Month.

As a vegetarian company, LUSH understands the ethical, environmental, health and humanitarian benefits of a lifestyle without animal products. That’s why all of their handmade bath, body, hair and skincare products are vegetarian and 75% are vegan. What’s more, LUSH never tests their products and ingredients on animals, or engage with third-party suppliers to test on their behalf. LUSH will never buy any ingredient from any supplier that tests its materials on animals for any purpose. All of LUSH’s suppliers must sign a statement saying that they adhere to this policy and are audited by an independent consultant to ensure they remain in compliance.

LUSH wants to make the lives of vegetarians and those contemplating a veggie lifestyle really simple by providing innovative products that are healthy for everybody – you, animals and the Earth. So, commemorate World Vegetarian Day and Vegetarian Awareness Month with these new products from LUSH.
