i know of someone that used to work there and Lush through-and-through are as lib as they come, and treat their workers like shit due to shite C-suite members

Lush uses israeli olive oil in at least some of their products

The lush website refers to the brand, Sindyanna, as an “Israeli and Palestinian” team. That brands website says they’re made of Israelis and Israeli Arabs and they use Palestinian land to produce the oil and focus on “coexistence” instead of liberation.

Lushs website also says they use “Palestinian” olive oil sometimes but doesn’t give a brand name and it’s unclear if they actually mean olive oil produced by Palestinians and then processed and sold by Israelis

Lush pays BELOW market wage for retail workers y’all. They take advantage of their strong branding and their fans hoping to be employees + the strong female and queer retail employee base to undercut salaries

This isn’t a Costco or In N’ Out type company

I mean if you were going to buy Lush soap anyway then sure, but put your money into PCRF instead if you can.

They’ve also donated to Woman’s Place UK in the past. They apologized for it but nonetheless, you should make sure your money actually ends up with the right people.

Huh that’s actually pretty fuckin cool

Lush has always been the kind of company.

They ran the wildly popular Fight Animal Testing actively for years, they still sell the bags and such, where most of the proceeds go to exactly that - fighting animal testing.

Employees can give products out for free if they think the person can’t afford it

I’m not here to suck the cock of large companies, but they haven’t sold out to the conglomerates, and are popular with a wide range of different types of people.

It’s just a real shame whenever I step in the store I feel the urge to violently throw up as the small of their soaps just make me feel nauseous.
