Customised Lush Gifts

Bedtime blossoms and glowing stars illuminate your path to dreamland in this supersized <a href="https://www.lush.com/uk/en/c/sleepy-collection">Sleepy</a>-scented bath.

How to store: Keep somewhere dark and dry before enjoying your starry bath time. Before you are ready to unwind allow the glow-in-the-dark wax stars and moon to charge in natural light.&nbsp;

How to use: Add your giant bombshell to a filled bath, and as the shell dissolves, sleep-inducing flowers such as lavender and chamomile will be released. The stars and moon will float and glow on the surface. For an extra hit of serenity, turn off the bathroom light as you bathe in a relaxing night sky.

Did you know? The wax stars and moon are reusable, so take them out of the bath to dry before you pull the plug, and keep them cool before adding to your bath next time.

Your order will be expertly protected against impact during transit by biodegradable Eco Pops, compostable packaging nuggets made from potato starch! They're easily dissolvable in water or soil.

Dare we say, the most relaxing scent you’ll ever smell!

The plant genus Lavandula includes about 47 species of flowering plants. Most famous for ornaments and fragrant extracts is the Lavandula angustifolia species, from which Lush’s lavender oil and absolute are obtained. It is a shrub-like perennial that grows long, slender stems topped with a cluster of purple flowers - small yet very fragrant.

René-Maurice Gattefossé, a French chemist from the early 20th century, accidentally discovered lavender oil's soothing and healing properties. Legend has it that he severely burned his hands during tests in his laboratory and immediately immersed them in lavender oil (which was nearest to him at the time). His hands healed so well that he became passionate about the properties of essential oils, and is now recognised as the ‘father of modern aromatherapy’.

Lush sources lavender oils from a couple of suppliers. <a href="https://www.lush.com/uk/en/a/lavender-under-french-skies">One is based</a> in the warm and sunny region Provence region of France, while the other is an <a href="https://www.lush.com/uk/en/i/organic-lavender-oil">organic-certified Bulgarian distiller</a>.&nbsp;

We also purchase dried strands and flowers, which may have different origins depending on the manufacturing site where your Lush product was made.

Dare with us!&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lush.com/uk/en/c/sleep-better">Here’s a selection</a> of Lush products with lavender that should help you unwind before bedtime.

Ingredient

Sensual

Calming

ylang_ylang_22_12efb858.jpg

Ylang Ylang’s heady, sweet and floral scent is often recommended to calm the mind.

The cananga tree, also called Ylang, is a tropical plant native to Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines, that grows up to 60 feet tall. The oil is extracted from the plant's yellow flowers by steam distillation.

Ylang ylang oil can have different grades depending on its quality. Ylang ylang extra is the best quality with the most stringent standards.

Lush sources ylang ylang oil and flowers from different suppliers around the world. To find out more about them and the quality of their products, 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!

Soothing

Sweet aroma

tonka_beans_22_66b60719.jpg

The tall camaru tree (Dipteryx odorata) belongs to the legume family (Fabaceae) and grows in Costa Rica, Brazil and Peru. It bears fruits that contain a single seed, oblong and smooth, called the tonka bean. The bean is used as a spice, grated into culinary preparations such as desserts to give them a sweet, complex taste. It can also be subjected to a solvent extraction process to obtain an absolute: a thick, concentrated extract of the bean’s scent.

Some say that tonka smells of vanilla, but the bean has its own perfume. It is sweet but also fruity, reminiscent of cherries and bitter almonds, and has notes of hay. This complex scent is mainly due to coumarin, an aromatic compound that naturally occurs in tonka in such quantities that it creates a white crystallised coating around the bean when it dries.

The tonka beans we purchase are wild harvested by indigenous and local communities in the Amazon forest, helping provide livelihoods for those who are protecting one of the richest ecosystems in the world. Through these partnerships, we ensure quality products, empowerment and economic support.

Among these communities are <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXcV7lxTam4">the Kayapo people of Brazil</a>, who carefully collect fallen tonka fruits and manually crack each one open with hammers to extract the valuable beans. The beans are then sun-dried and gathered in large sacks before being transported to France, where they are refined into an absolute for use in our products.

Tonka absolute reveals its sweetness in some of <a href="https://www.lush.com/uk/en/c/gourmand-fragrance">our most tempting Gourmand fragrances</a> while complementing the lullaby sung by lavender and vanilla in <a href="https://www.lush.com/uk/en/c/sleepy-collection">our relaxing Sleepy range</a>.

Comforting

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;
