Why skincare matters | Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics

Get familiar with our fresh approach to skincare, with the help of super-powered ingredients we make products that make it easy for you to care for your microbiome.

What’s a super-powered ingredient?

A super-powered ingredient is derived from fresh fruits, vegetables, butters, flowers and essential oils whose natural properties have been harnessed to create expertly formulated and effective products that help support and protect your microbiome. We search far and wide for the highest quality ingredients, using only the best and the freshest.

About your microbiome

Your microbiome is an ecosystem that lives on your skin. Each square centimeter of your skin—your largest organ—is home to around one million microorganisms. Pretty wild, right? These microorganisms form an important part of your skin barrier making it difficult for pathogens to invade. Essentially, the healthier your microbiome is, the better your immune system functions. Over-exposure to strong synthetics and highly preserved products can deplete your microbiome, which is why it’s incredibly important to know what you’re putting on your skin.

A fresh approach

We believe that great skincare should give you maximum benefit with minimal interference, which is why we make effective products from fresh, super-powered ingredients like cocoa butter, honey, rose water, aloe vera and more. Because your microbiome plays such an important part in your life, every super-powered ingredient we use plays a crucial role in our products. Our dedicated team of experts work tirelessly to create the most effective self-preserving products available.

Why go self-preserving?

Synthetic preservatives can often be found in both food and cosmetics, preventing bacteria from growing and extending product shelf life but they also often end up in our waterways where they accumulate and at times become toxic. Harsh synthetic preservatives can also alter your microbiome, leading to certain skin conditions.
