Fans will be ogre-the-moon with this brand new Lush x Shrek limited edition collection, available exclusively at the Lush Philippines website, lush.com.ph, this June 2024.
Inspired by DreamWorks Animation’s Shrek franchise, the collection celebrates one’s inner swampy self, in contrast to the ‘clean girl’ aesthetic of recent years.
Just like onions, this collection has layers. Inspired by Shrek’s journey from a self-loathing to a self-accepting ogre, the range aims to bring joy and Shrek’s irreverent humour to the worlds of beauty and well-being – showing that there is no one way to be beautiful and feel good and that wellness can also be a swampy ogre bath.
“I love how Shrek is a family film I enjoyed when I was in my teens and now my own teenager loves all the meme culture of Shrek today. It’s a classic film that celebrates self-love and was an obvious fit for a Lush collaboration. It’s earthy and fun and perfect for some swampy self-care,” Melody Morton, Creative Concepts Director at Lush.
In the Philippines, the limited-edition collection features Get Outta My Swamp shower slime, Shrek Swamp bath bomb, and Fiona shower gel, as well as returning favourite scents for Gingy bubble bar and Donkey bath bomb.
-
Get Outta My Swamp Shower Slime
Harness the power of the swamp for a slimy body wash that will leave users feeling soft and silky. Wheatgrass, an antioxidant packed with Vitamins A, E, and C, will leave skin bright and soothed, while cornstarch not only helps to create the texture of the sublime slime but is also fantastically softening on the skin.
-
Shrek Swamp Bath Bomb
Users can unleash their own swamp at bath time with this bath bomb. It has a blend of rhassoul mud, oakmoss, and seaweed, hand-harvested from the Japanese coastline, that will leave skin feeling softened and cared for. It is scented with rich, deep chocolate mixed with a refreshing, minty, and spicy top note thanks to peppermint, pink pepper, and vanilla.
-
Fiona Shower Gel
Be ogre-joyed with this fairytale blend of fresh, fruity fragrance transformed into a beautifully cleansing shower gel. It is packed with Vitamin C, fresh cucumber juice cools and soothes the skin while giving it the healthy, radiant glow of an ogre in love. Sourced from South Africa, Buchu oil adds a fresh berry note to this fruity fragrance. This fruity shower gel is housed in recycled plastic harvested from the coastlines of Bali, Indonesia. Due to local infrastructures overwhelmed by tourism, the scale of waste management is not equipped to process the growing amount of plastic waste, posing a significant risk to wildlife, so instead, this plastic is collected and recycled for reuse.
-
Gingy Bubble Bar
Get acquainted with the scent of freshly baked goods in the form of everyone’s favourite gingerbread man. Users can crumble it under running water to release sweetly scented bubbles and swish around for even more suds.
-
Donkey Bath Bomb
Scented with cosy spiced caramel and waffle notes, drop this sweet bath bomb into a nice hot bath to release swirls of colour and waffle-sweet fragrance.
