New Product Donates to Non-profits
Lush Charity Pot Gives Every Dollar Earned to Environmental Groups
Lush, the organic, handmade bath and body products store, has always been anti-animal testing and pro-environment. The green company gives money to worthy charities.
It's easy to spot fans of Lush body and bath products; just hang out near a Lush store, and see the mad glint in their eyes as they approach. It's not just the fresh, organic and handmade products that get them excited (although that's admittedly a big part); it's also the creed behind the company. Lush is famously pro-environment and anti-animal testing. The founder, Mark Constantine, has proved that he's as willing to walk the walk as he is to talk the talk. The reduced packaging materials, organic ingredients, ban on animal testing, fair trade, and livable wages for Lush employees all point to the humanitarian and environmental concerns that help form the guiding philosophy behind Lush. A new product, Charity Pot Hand and Body Lotion, continues in this vaunted tradition.
The Charity Pot Hand and Body Lotion smells as good as it works, and every dollar made from it goes to charity. Lush makes no profit whatsoever from sales of Charity Pot. The organic skin lotion comes in the standard black Lush jars, with information about the beneficiaries printed on each lid.
Some of the first charities to receive donations from Charity Pot purchases are:
- Amazon Conservation Team - Conserves biodiversity, traditional culture, and health, through working with indigenous peoples around the Amazon River.
- Clean Ocean Action - Cleans and protects the waters of New York and New Jersey, and cleans up beaches.
- International Fund for Animal Welfare - Improves animal welfare, protects wildlife and provides animal rescue across the world.
- TreePeople - Helps "nature heal Los Angeles," through planting trees and caring for local forests.
- UNICEF Unite for Children, Unite against AIDS - Protects and supports children with HIV/AIDS, works to prevent transmission and infection.
- WaterCan - Provides drinkable water to impoverished communities across the world.
Now, non-profits that can get charitable donations from Lush and Charity Pot purchases are always involved with humanitarian, environmental, or animal protection concerns. Beneficiaries will rotate throughout the year; the non-profit groups will be featured on the lids of Charity Pots to spread awareness and ensure that customers know exactly who they're helping. Lush has always been a good skin care choice for people concerned about the health of our planet. With Lush Charity Pot Hand and Body Lotion, consumers know that the organic bath and body company donates all the money to worthy nonprofit organizations. Doing right by the environment while indulging in a luxury skin care product? For some of us, that's the best of both worlds.
