This scrub exfoliates, moisturises, and scents skin with our bestselling rich, vanilla-caramel fragrance. For the full routine, we recommend lathering up with <a href="https://www.lush.com/uk/en/p/sticky-dates-shower-gel">Sticky Dates shower gel</a> first. Once you've rinsed, gather a handful of this scrub to sweep over your body. Golden caster sugar exfoliates to reveal glowing skin, while Fair Trade organic cocoa butter and date syrup hydrate, leaving you feeling soft and smelling like a treat.

How to use: Apply a generous handful and massage into skin to feel smooth and moisturised.

Such a sweet biodegradable, natural exfoliator!

The name 'sugar' can be applied to any carbohydrate that has a sweet taste. In Lush's ingredient lists, it describes the sucrose obtained from sugar cane or sugar beets - the classic crystalline sugar you can find in most kitchens. It can be coarse, fine, white or coloured. We use this diversity to create innovative products that vary visually and have different effects or sensations on the skin.

What are the benefits of sugar in cosmetics?

The human skin renews itself regularly, in cycles of 5 to 6 weeks on average (although this changes with age). New cells are created in the deepest layers of the epidermis and work their way to the skin's surface. Even though they usually flake away on their own, they sometimes stick around for too long, clogging the pores and giving a dull and tired appearance. This is when an exfoliant comes in handy. Coarse materials like sugar buff and cleanse the skin perfectly.

To find out more about each of our sugar suppliers, browse your Lush product’s list of ingredients and click on the ones you are interested in. This should take you to a page full of details!

If you were about to exfoliate your lips (to make them extra smooth), wouldn't you be tempted to use sugar? Well, great minds think alike - <a href="https://www.lush.com/uk/en/c/lip-scrubs-balms">our Lip Scrubs got your back</a>. Or lips.

Sweet aroma

maple_syrup_ingredient_lush_57a0869e.jpg

There are many different syrups: ones you drink, ones you glaze on your pancakes, ones you pour in your batter. At Lush, we love them all.

What is common to every kind of syrup? A very high sugar content. Dates, maple, agave, sugarcane, corn… all these plants contain natural sugars. Their fruits, sap, kernels, or fibres are processed, generally by simple boiling and filtering, in order to concentrate these sugars until a dense and velvety liquid is obtained. Another way to make syrup is to mix pure sugar with water and infuse the sweet liquid with fragrant flowers, leaves or bark. However, most of the time, it’s done with artificial flavours and colourants.

What are the benefits of syrups in Lush cosmetics?

We purchase a lot of different syrups, in small or large quantities, so the country of origin will depend on the product, stocks, and the Lush manufacturing site where your product was made. For more information on each syrup, <a href="https://www.lush.com/uk/en/i">search for them in our ingredient hub</a> or have a look at this selection:

An amazing not-so-secret ingredient for your skin and hair. We heart argan!

Argan oil is produced from the kernels of the argan tree.&nbsp;

There are a lot of vitamins in argan oil that are said to be antioxidants, such as vitamin E. Antioxidants are compounds that are thought to counteract the oxidation of the skin cells, which means they could improve the skin's appearance and strength.

Lush source argan from a variety of places. To find out more about our suppliers, browse your Lush product’s list of ingredients and click on argan oil. This should take you to a page full of details!

Fragrancing

benzoin_ingredient_f4d20369.png

Benzoin has been used in incense and perfumes for centuries. Its sweet, spicy and slightly earthy aroma brings comfort and calm to the mind.

Benzoin is a natural resin that can be collected from two types of styrax trees: Styrax benzoin, native to Sumatra, and Styrax tonkinensis, which grows in Southeast Asia.&nbsp;

Resin is a natural bandage for trees. It drips from wounded trunks and hardens in the open air, protecting the wounds from possible disease, fungus, and insect attack. Resin is full of potent aromatic compounds, which probably inspired humans to try and make something out of it centuries ago. Some trees produce a lot of it, making it easy to harvest. Once hard, the resin can be burned pure, ground into powder, or refined with solvents to produce a fragrant extract called resinoid.

What does benzoin smell like, and what are its benefits for the skin?

Lush purchases a tincture of benzoin from a UK-based company and a resinoid from a supplier in Laos. The latter works with 80 farmers who collect resin from Styrax tonkinensis trees, using traditional methods and focusing on quality. The trees are grown and harvested sustainably, and the forest is managed according to agroforestry principles. Farmers receive fair payments and labour security and safety.&nbsp;
