Oil-rich ground almonds don't just make our products look like cakes—they cleanse the skin and leave it soft and supple!

Where does Lush purchase these almonds?

Lush UK* mainly source ground almonds from Almendrehesa, a Spanish supplier based in Granada, from whom we also purchase organic almond oil. To produce ground almonds, they use a mix of around 10% regeneratively grown organic almonds and 90% conventional almonds. All almonds come from the Andalusia region, with 99% of crops being rain-fed.

Almendrehesa was founded in 2016 by twenty farmers, driven by a desire to improve their land and their lives. Eight years later, there were more than fifty. They are part of a network called AlVelAl that aims to restore degraded ecosystems and land using regenerative farming techniques, among other things.

The 10% of regeneratively grown organic almonds used by Almendrehesa are supplied by farmers who have signed a Commitment to Regenerative Agriculture, establishing the following minimum standards:

The use of compost as fertiliser and almond tree prunings as mulch.
Soil vegetation is covered, with careful management to increase water retention.
Water management practices, including the implementation of swales or ponds.
Erosion prevention practices, including dikes and dams.
Diversification of almond tree varieties used.

Lush is also collaborating with Almendrehesa on a project to expand the adoption of regenerative farming practices among a broader network of farmers. This initiative involves establishing pilot trials to demonstrate the effectiveness of these practices to both internal and external stakeholders.
