Lush has always been dedicated to strong green values including never testing on animals! This Earth Day stop by your local Lush and check out the new Knot-Wrap.

A Japanese Furoshiki-inspired technique, Knot-Wrap ($6.95) uses LUSH-ious scarves, either made of recyclable materials or vintage fabrics, to package your products in a fashionably and environmentally-friendly way. These scarves can be used and reused in a variety of ways (purse, grocery bag, décor, etc.) and can be wrapped (in origami-style) to carry products of all shapes and sizes.
- Lumene Skincare www.lumene.com
Lumene Finland recently introduced a new line called Excellent Future, which takes a natural approach to anti-aging. The line features the exclusive Applexcell™ technology, which combines modern Apple Stem Cell Extract from a rare and endangered apple species known as Uttwiler Spätlauber with hydrating Arctic White Peat. The products are over 85% natural and deliver impressive results for less than $30, whereas competitive products offer similar technology for $250+.
Beyond offering premium skincare products that are composed of 80% natural ingredients, Lumene Finland is also committed to reducing its environmental footprint. The clean rivers, forests and marshlands of the Finnish wilderness offer an abundance of rare ingredients that Lumene has found to offer a refreshingly potent and effective solution to skincare. The company takes great strides in ensuring that those natural resources are used wisely. Also, this past year, the company launched the WaterSmart Program, which focuses on reducing water consumption in product development and production. Lumene Finland encourages consumers, along with other beauty companies, to invest in smart water consumption and other positive environmental practices, not just during April Earth Month, but all year long.
I’ll be showing you a few of the new Lumene Excellent Future products this week and tomorrow giving away an entire gift basket of them. Happy Days!
