We’ve gone all out for a different sort of Easter in 2011, with new innovations and some returning old favorites. Easter is a celebration of chocolate eggs, crazy games, chocolate-obsessed bunny rabbits and resurrecting religious figures. Give a more original gift this Easter and pick one of these; they’re kinder on the environment and healthier than chocolate. Let’s face it, they’re more fun, too! HAPPY EASTER V An eggsellent Easter gift for bath lovers Donkey Oaty - The Easter Donkey Let’s face it, LUSH Bath Bombs are better than chocolate. So this year, you can give a Bath Bomb egg to wish someone a ‘Happy Easter’ rather than giving them the choccy alternative. With zero calories: three different bombs (Avobath, Fluffy Egg and Hippy Chick), as well as a mini Knot-Wrap that you can use again and again, you’re bound to give a very Happy Easter indeed. Plus you’ll be able to answer that age old question, which fizzed first, the (hippy) chick or the egg? V Donkey-shaped pinata to bring the summer sunshine in. Like his pun-less namesake, the great Don Quixote, the Easter donkey is chivalrous and wise. Our donkey brother smells like our creamy, chocolate-scented Charity Pot lotion. The fun doesn’t end there, though; it’s a colour spectacular of summery colours that will send the dreariness of winter packing once and for all. 03414 $5.95 Ingredients: Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Cananga Odorata Flower Oil, Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil, Tagetes Minuta Flower Oil, Gardenia Florida Extract, Citronellol, *Linalool, Perfume, D&C Orange No. 4, FD&C Red No. 4, Rice Paper.

The chickens were treated almost like guests at a hotel, so many things revolved around maximizing their comfort and reducing stress. I liked how they all came running to get attention from the employees. The proactive approach to setting the standards high and attention to detail really sets a great example for the industry.” -Brendan Delhomeau, LUSH Manufacturing Free Range Eggs Once upon a sunny February afternoon, four members of the LUSH team went to visit our free range egg supplier, Rabbit River Farms. Located only 20 minutes away from our production facility, Rabbit River Farms supplies the fresh eggs we use in our Cosmetic Warrior, Sacred Truth and Brazened Honey face masks. Eggs are fantastic for the skin, as they balance the natural sebum production. We were lucky enough to get a personal tour from the owner himself, the delightful and innovative Steve Easterbrook. We arrived to spot a sign outside the front door “Welcome LUSH!” Already charmed, we peeked inside the “barn” door to see the hundreds of eggs being packaged up to be sent out to local grocery stores across BC. Steve greeted us warmly and told us how excited everyone was to have us visit. Before taking us on a tour of the entire facility, which is the only egg production site in BC that both raises hens and packages the eggs, Steve told us a bit about how his farm came to be. Rabbit River Farms was started by Easterbrook in 1993. His great grandfather owned the first grain mill in Richmond BC, and as a child, Steve had looked after free range chickens in the backyard. Steve left farming as a young man, venturing into other “boring industries”, as he put it. Eventually, he felt called back to his roots and decided to purchase a large plot of land. Unsure of what to do next, Steve visited a local organic farm and asked what the market was missing. Eggs! At the time, there were no producers of organic eggs in Canada. In fact, there weren’t even any standards in place for certifying eggs organic. Steve approached the certification board and they agreed to let him experiment, effectively writing the standards as he went along. Steve was also instrumental in developing the first ever organic animal feed. Today, Rabbit River Farms has over 5,200 birds and packages 216,000 eggs per week including eggs from affiliated egg farmers. All of the eggs produced are certified organic, free range (hens are free to walk around outdoors) or free run (hens are kept in an openconcept house with access to the outdoors). His hens are never kept in cages, given antibiotics or any sort of genetically modified feed. Rabbit River Farms is also certified by the BCSPCA (British Columbia Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). Steve was kind enough to show us the entire process, from hen to carton. He took us to the main barn, which houses approximately 5200 hens. The first thing we noticed upon walking in was how much quieter it was then we expected. You’d think a few thousand chickens Mike 400 Buying Team I’m only months away from my 5 year anniversary with LUSH and what a ride it’s been (I’ve biked the 10KM to work every day since my start date). Buying the right quantities to keep up with our freshness commitment is a great challenge all the buyers are passionate about. Without a doubt being the only major retailer with 100% postconsumer recycled content (PCR) in our clear bottles and black pots bar none is the biggest success story since I’ve been with LUSH. “I loved the entrepreneurism and passion of Steve. Following a dream from a light bulb moment related to organic and earth friendly ethics. The more conscious businesses become, I hope it fosters more success stories like these.” would make more noise! All we encountered was the low hum of wings flapping and beaks pecking in the food troughs. The hens were moving around the barn freely, preening, feeding, and most importantlysocializing. It’s vital for chickens to establish a pecking order, so being able to socialize normally makes for a harmonious laying environment. After a few photos with our new flock of friends, we followed the conveyer belt that ran from the laying nests to the washing station. Thousands of eggs run through hot water and steam, as per food safety standards, before being carefully inspected for cracks. The eggs are then sorted by weight, packaged and handled by the lovely staff. Steve showed us all the various sizes and colours eggs could come in, calling the little spheres “nature’s perfect package”. The entire process was very complex, yet so simple at the same time. Steve’s extensive knowledge, experience and passion for farming have revolutionized the way eggs are produced in Canada today. His commitment to the welfare of his animals is abundantly clear. We hurled questions at him for hours and he answered every one with as much enthusiasm as the first. “I love animals” Steve stated simply. He pointed out that much of what humans need is dependent on contributions from animals, so it’s important to give them respect and humane treatment. He often refers to his philosophy as “freedom farming”, meaning farms should be an environment where animals are free to engage in their natural behaviors. He’s constantly challenging himself to “do it better for the birds”. We love that Steve is local, but we also buy from Rabbit River Farms because their values and ethics are in line with ours here at LUSH. Steve summed it up wonderfully for the both of us; “It’s about taking ownership and passion in your product”.

Big Harry’s Brazilian Adventure In November 2010, LUSH Times Editor Harry swapped his laptop for hiking boots and a mosquito net and headed to South America to see exactly where LUSH buys rosewood oil from. W hen Simon first came to talk to Reena and I about creating a special ‘buying edition’ of the LUSH Times, we were thrilled that we would have the chance to include all the fascinating stories about where we buy our ingredients from. We mentioned though, that surely, we should get to go on a buying trip ourselves to really be able to tackle this issue with a full understanding of what it is the buying team does! Never has the phrase ‘Be careful what you wish for’ rung so true. The next thing I knew, I was booked onto a flight to Manaus, Brazil – and Reena was being jetted off to Indonesia. The purpose of our visit to Brazil was to see the plantation and distillery where our rosewood oil is made. Sadly, rosewood is now an endangered species and the laws on cutting down the trees are extremely strict. We’d rather reformulate or discontinue one of our products than continue using an ingredient that comes from protected plants. Fortunately, our rosewood grower in Maués, has managed to come up with a way of making a rosewood oil of excellent quality, using the branches and leaves from the trees. This way, there’s no need to cut down any precious trees. In fact, pruning them encourages the rosewood to grow bigger and stronger! From the UK, South America isn’t an easy place to get to. Agnès, essential oil buyer extraordinaire, and I had to catch a plane from London Heathrow to Lisbon, from there to Brasilia with a final flight to Manaus. You might wonder how such an ethical company like ours can justify so much flying? We ‘carbon tax’ ourselves £50 per metric tonne of CO2 and use the money to fund transport and climate change groups, as well as internal and external low carbon projects. So although it was a long journey, we stepped off the plane secure in the knowledge that it was a necessary evil. The hotel in Manaus was on the banks of the Rio Negro, the largest ‘blackwater’ river in the world. Every day at 5pm, regular as clockwork, a tropical thunderstorm of biblical proportions would roll in above our heads and light up the sky with seriously impressive forks of lightning. It occasionally hit the building, knocking out the electricity. I can cope with sitting in the dark. Being stuck in a lift between the 9th and 10th floor with no power is another matter however. Fortunately the hotel generator kicked back in and I leaped to safety. That was the last time I used the hotel lift during the daily storms! On our first day in Brazil we met our hosts, our rosewood oil supplier and his wife, two exceptional people who made us feel truly welcome. Our supplier’s father-in-law was an extremely influential scientist in his day and one of his great passions was the Amazon rainforest. He set up the rosewood business with the plantation owner before handing it down to his son-in-law, who has carried on this traditional family business and has just as much respect for the rainforest. The rosewood plantation is actually in the Amazon rainforest, in Maués. To get there, we had to charter a ten-seater plane (essentially a Mini Cooper with wings!), to fly over the meeting of the two rivers; where the Amazon and Rio Negro meet. It was a phenomenal sight. That’s not to say that I wasn’t a little bit apprehensive about flying over these huge expanses of water in a tiny plane! The plantation itself is vast – and it’s so wonderful to see that it’s so well maintained and that these endangered trees are thriving. We wandered through the many rosewood trees before venturing a little way into the Amazon rainforest. What was remarkable was the humidity instantly increased the moment you stepped from the airy plantation into the dense forest. Although we didn’t see any wildlife (the animals are far too good at camouflaging themselves!), we didn’t stick around just in case we stumbled on a jaguar! After our thorough tour of the plantation and distillery, we headed back to Manaus (in the tiny plane again!) before packing up our things and getting ready to come home. I feel incredibly privileged to have been sent to Brazil by LUSH; it was a long way to go for such a short time – but so incredibly rewarding and I returned home having learned so much and met some truly inspirational people.

The life cycle of the wood makes this stunning rosewood oil a very environmentally friendly product indeed. Hurrah! 7 Stoking the Fires The Dorset Charcoal Company, headed up by Jim Bettle, produces sustainable, local British charcoal, ensuring good management of local woodlands by finding a use for lower value wood, such as thinning or misshapen waste, and encouraging the restoration of derelict coppice. The latter is extremely beneficial to local wildlife, whose ecosystems rely on the cyclical nature of coppice growth. Many butterflies and flowers require the sunlight associated with freshly cut coppice, whereas growth from the stools provides an ideal habitat for thrushes, finches, warblers and nightingales. However, after fifteen years or so a coppice becomes overgrown and dark leading to a decline in wildlife, requiring the process to start once again. Bringing coppice woodlands back into rotations encourages a greater diversity of flora and fauna. Cutting wood opens up woodlands for flowers, insects, birds and small mammals letting in light. Dorset’s woodlands are seldom ‘natural,’ but have developed thanks to a long history of management by man. New wood fuel markets will secure the future of our historic wooded landscapes. In addition, producing charcoal and using wood as a fuel also benefits the rural economy by providing local employment, and an opportunity for diversification for farmers and other landowners to find value in low-grade wood. Also, local deliveries eliminate the necessity for long-haul transportation and the production and supply of local charcoal has been shown to reduce fossil fuel consumption by over 85%, compared with imports from South America or South Africa. Moreover, providing the wood comes from a sustainable source, as ours does, wood is a source of renewable stored solar energy. Emma Jim Bettle The Dorset Charcoal Co.

Meet Helen Ambrosen, one of the LUSH founders and product inventors. “I see cosmetics as more of an art than a science, and being able to draw beautiful pictures with ingredients like this is almost like painting a portrait and thinking ‘how does this sound?’ and ‘what effect is this going to have?” What are your favourite ingredients to work with, and why? It’s such a privilege to be able to work with beautiful ingredients. I see cosmetics as more of an art than a science, and being able to draw beautiful pictures with ingredients like this is almost like painting a portrait and thinking ‘how does this sound?’ and ‘what effect is this going to have?’ It’s like creating a harmony out of different elements. What a lovely thing to be able to use these fabulous ingredients. I always think of the effect first; it’s the most important things for our customers. How did you acquire your vast knowledge of ingredients and their benefits? Observation is key. I couldn’t do my job without using products myself, so I’ve become an expert at evaluating products based on their effect on me. I use myself as a benchmark. Unless you use products yourself, you can’t do this job effectively. You just can’t get an idea of the effect without experience. Our serums work brilliantly. I’m blessed with good skin and if a product works on my skin, I know it’s a good product; Full of Grace works wonders on my skin. There are simple truths to the ingredients; oat milk, almond oil, olive oil, avocados etc, they’re all great for the skin and that’s indisputable. When you’re creating a moisturizer, what properties do you look for in an ingredient? I look for effects and a balance that will benefit the skin in the best way. A moisturizer is about fine detail and striking a delicate balance. You need to consider the amounts of ingredients; fresh fruit juices can be too much in excess and it’s a lot of fine tuning. Mark and I work together on moisturizers and it’s a lot like watching grass grow. I have to be careful in documenting what we’re doing because I could go the wrong way. I had 12 different versions of Handy Gurugu and I almost chose the wrong one! I look for properties on skin types and fruits are key in Enzymion, vegetable oils in Skin’s Shangri La are moisturizing and help dry skin. at the blank sheet of paper and fill up your time with distractions. You have to be disciplined. There’s a bit of controversy around safe synthetics at the moment; what’s your take on it? If you want to wash your hair in the modern way, you need a surfactant. If you want a product that lasts, you need a preservative. The synthetics we use have been used safely for many years and they are very effective. When materials are used widely for many purposes for many decades, it’s a good indication that they are alright to use. It’s a good thing that they have such a history. The more established a material is, that’s a very good thing. We have to consider the science behind a synthetic, whether it’s good science, flawed or based on animal tests. Our decisions are very informed. All these things go through my head when we choose. It’s based on practical, environmental and ethical considerations. Synthetics are good and they carry the fresh materials and lovely oils. They are the frame around a beautiful portrait. If you weren’t in the lab creating concoctions, where would you be? My passion has been working outdoors. I’d be outside somewhere! ULTRALIGHT V Ultra-fantastic skin protector Journalists always ask, “What makes it work? Is it vitamin E, vitamin A?” I always say, “It’s the whole thing.” It’s the vitality and the freshness of the whole ingredient that makes it work. Why “fresh” ingredients? Wouldn’t it be easier to use something else? It would be easier, but it wouldn’t be as much fun! I could absolutely use synthetic alternatives to create effects, but where would the artistry be? Journalists always ask, “What makes it work? Is it vitamin E, vitamin A?” I always say, “It’s the whole thing.” It’s the vitality and the freshness of the whole ingredient that makes it work. You can extract a synthetic vitamin and add it in, but adding the whole element is what makes it effective. It’s a sad reflection when people don’t believe you, but it’s true. It’d be boring to use just a vitamin or just a mineral and I don’t like being bored. How does our Buying Team influence the ingredients that you use? Do you ask them to source particular ingredients for you, or do they bring ingredients to you to consider for your inventions? They bring back stories, beautiful stories that touch me and inspire me to do something with those ingredients to make a difference. When they tell me about villages and cooperatives that they’ve met and show me incredible pictures, I feel inspired to go and use the ingredient. Chile, Nias, Palestine... It makes me eager to use them. These visits are life-changing for them and they get to see the people that create the ingredients. There’s such history and such a story. Is it a long process to develop a new product? It can be. You just want to get on and do it instantly, but it takes a while. You put off staring 10 Little Helen at The Sea.

WWW.LUSH.CA 15 Cocoa Butter Known for its ability to soothe and moisturize the skin, we blend cocoa butter into everything from lip balms to body lotions to henna hair dyes. Cocoa butter is an extremely important ingredient in many LUSH products, so it’s of the highest priority for us to source organic, Fair Trade butter from sustainable farms. Lisa Creative Buyer I’ve been working for LUSH for nearly 5 years now, and it’s the best company I’ve ever worked for! My favourite experience was when Anna from the UK buying team and I took shelter from a thunderstorm in the Dominican Republic on one of our farmer’s front porches with his family. We learned about how the money we spend on Fair Trade Organic cocoa butter directly affects the community for this particular family; the water wells, plant nurseries and other local projects. It’s really humbling to know that we can make decisions that genuinely have a very positive effect on people all over the world.

Cocoa butter is a thick, white substance extracted from the cocoa bean- which is more commonly used for that dangerously addictive substance we call chocolate! While we love a sweet treat, we use cocoa butter for a whole host of other reasons. Known for its ability to soothe and moisturize the skin, we blend cocoa butter into everything from lip balms to body lotions to henna hair dyes. Cocoa butter is an extremely important ingredient in many LUSH products, so it’s of the highest priority for us to source organic, Fair Trade butter from sustainable farms. Our cocoa butter comes all the way from the Dominican Republic. LUSH buyers Lisa and Anna traveled to the tropical region in June 2009 to visit our supplier, a farming co-operative that boasts 9,500 members or 25% of Dominican farmers. In the Dominican Republic, cocoa production represents around 90% of the local communities’ income, so the cooperative formed in 1988 as way of ensuring fair prices for cocoa and wages for farmers. They currently provide around 10,000 tonnes of cocoa per year, 95% of which is organic and 50% fair trade. Lisa and Anna spent time with the farmers and were lucky enough to watch the harvesting and sorting process first hand: JUNE 16TH Abel, Operations Manager for Conacado, met us early at the hotel and we introduced ourselves over a quick buffet breakfast. He explained that the previous week he had been visited by inspectors from the Fair Trade Association and that it had gone well as expected: they are visited every 6 months or so for follow-up. Then we were off! We sped down roads through dangerously congested traffic, past dense jungle and 3 storey shacks of scrap wood and corrugated metal daring to be pushed over by the slightest breeze. It seemed the lucky could afford cast iron gates around their front porches to keep thieves out of their homes and from stealing their cars held together by bits of string and hope. We were Cocoa production represents around 90% of the local communities’ income, so the co-operative formed in 1988 as way of ensuring fair prices for cocoa and wages for farmers. 16 LUSH Cosmetics headed to the town of Yamasa where block 2 of Conacado is located and where Julie & Elisa had visited in 2007. We were toured around and shown the fermenting and drying process of the cocoa beans; this ended up being a very informative event as we learned how cocoa beans are graded and sorted! We headed into an office and were brought traditional hot chocolate (cocoa mass is added to boiling water with a cinnamon stick and a few slices of ginger for 3 minutes, strained and sweetened with cane sugar - Yum!) and broke down Fair Trade pricing. The Fair Trade minimum price is USD $1600 for 1 tonne of cocoa beans before fermentation, drying and processing. When the local farmers who belong to the different Blocks of Conacado (there are 8 of them around the country) bring their deliveries of cocoa beans in they are paid immediately based on this minimum price. At the end of the year any extra profit made by the individual blocks is split up and paid out to the farmers like a yearly “bonus”. The recent market prices for conventional beans has been hovering around $2500 - $2800 per metric tonne so this is the price used to calculate the cost of any grade of cocoa product since it is above Fair Trade minimum. At the end of the year, if a farmer sold Conacado 1000kg of beans (on top of the $1600 they already received) the farmer would receive an extra $200 if their beans are certified organic and the extra from selling the beans or cocoa products above Fair Trade minimum to customers: $950. After some lunch at a local café we headed into the jungle to meet with & interview Leonidas Manzueta who is a farmer member of Conacado. We were welcomed into his home to sit with him and his family in their living room full of beautiful wood furniture and curious faces. His granddaughters couldn’t get enough of us and kept peeking at us when they thought we weren’t looking. A thunderstorm raged on outside; rain pelting against the corrugated metal roof. It was dark and comfortably warm inside. We talked about Fair Trade wages, changes in the environment and the impact Conacado has had on his family and community. At one point he indicated a framed photo of his daughter on the wall and spoke proudly about her future career in medicine – she was currently going to University to become a doctor. JUNE 17TH When Abel met us it was hot and humid as usual. We stopped on the way to get gas and the thunder started www.youtube.com/ lushvidz in the distance. We sped off into the heart of the storm. Thunder seemed to vibrate the bones of the car. The lightning put on a display the likes of which I’d never seen – relentless, no breaks, and almost 1 lightning bolt every 10 seconds. The storm made me question the thick, sticky layer of sun block I had on. Why had I left my rain jacket at the hotel? The rainy season had officially welcomed us with open arms and a slap upside the head. By the time we arrived in San Francisco we’d driven through the storm & back into the heat and humidity we were expecting this morning. We were given a tour of Cafesia where our cocoa butter is produced; we sat upstairs in an air conditioned office and talked business: possible direct shipments to Toronto, cocoa powder and current market prices. The trucks arrive at Cafesia usually 3 or 4 days after the farmers have dropped the beans off for fermenting and/or drying. The processing takes no more than 3 hours from bean to cooled box of butter and bags of cocoa powder. I think the nicest moment of the visit to this facility was having a chance to thank & shake the hand of the worker who fills our boxes of hot butter in the heat and humidity. JUNE 18TH Anna and I walked up the road to a “Bibero” (nursery) where Conacado grows seedlings for the farmers to purchase at cost, funded through the fair trade premium. We managed to communicate with the man working there to figure out what the plants were. There was cocoa, Orange, Banana, Avocado, Yucca & Mango. Since the Cocoa is shade grown it is useful for the farmers to have access to a variety of fruit trees they can inter-plant with cocoa to sell to their local community. With cicadas humming a song in the background and tarantulas underfoot we talked to Ciriaco “Yoyo” Hernandez about the environment and what changes he’s noticed as well as local fair trade projects like the well in the village we saw on the way in. The most notable change is the frequency of cyclones (hurricanes) and the worry that one day his farm will be decimated by one of these violent storms. We then walked to his house and took shelter from another tropical storm with his family. In all, this trip was an invaluable experience. The relationship with Conacado can only get better and our understanding of the effect we have on people around the world as buyers is something you can only understand by seeing it first-hand. www.twitter.com/ lushcosmetics LUSH forum.lush.com FORUM Edible banana bar for delicious massages Mi Piaci....violet and vanilla! 03164 45g $7.95 If you simply can’t get the catchy pop song out of your head (neither can we!), hum along while you massage your dance partner!

Made in Canada Rockin’ for Tabitha LUSH Charity Pot funds went to support Rockin4Tabitha to meet their goal of building 25 houses in Pursat province, Cambodia. From left to right: Rosie, Chloe, Karen and Carrie Rockin4Tabitha works through Tabitha Foundation Canada to help change the lives of the poorest of the poor Cambodian villagers from one of despair to one of self reliance. A village makes this amazing transition because Tabitha ‘does it right’, in a holistic and sustainable manner, all the while providing help while maintaining the dignity of the villagers. The annual Rockin4Tabitha volunteer build, which began in 2007, has built 50 houses and housed nearly 300 of Cambodia’s poorest families in the last five years. LUSH Charity Pot funds went to support Rockin4Tabitha to meet their goal of building 25 houses in Pursat province, Cambodia. This year, in addition to our monetary contribution we are expanding to a more hands on approach to charitable giving. The 2011 build team was joined by five passionate LUSH employees sponsored as part of our employee recognition program that went to Cambodia from January 28 to February 3, 2011. Here are Karen and Chloe Wolverton, Carrie from LUSH Chicago, Anitra from LUSH Ottawa and Rose Marie from LUSH Manufacturing in Toronto hard at work with their hands and hearts. With their help Rockin4Tabitha was able to build 25 houses in a record two days!

When Pol Pot took over the Cambodian people rejoiced because they thought their lives were going to change for the better. Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge asked the people of Phnom Penh to leave their homes for three days only so that he could “cleanse the city”. Within 24hrs of taking over the city he burned all of the currency, banks and schools, along with anything relating to western culture. A common saying for Pol Pot was “To keep you is a cost, to lose you is not a loss.” In a span of three years over 2 million Cambodian people were murdered (25% of the population) and those that were not murdered were tortured and suffered severely under his regime. Something you do not see in Cambodia is elderly people, we saw very few people over the age of 40 as most of them were murdered. Those who were not killed at Tuol Sleng were taken to Choeng Chk (the killing fields) to be murdered via beating (as they did with children against a tree) or gassed and then thrown into one of over 20 mass graves. Carrie and Sky LUSH Cosmetics While we were in Phnom Penh we met a woman tuk-tuk driver named Sky. It is not legal for woman to drive a tuk-tuk (a motor bike with a cab attached) so Sky has to disguise herself as a man to do so. She is often persecuted and harrassed to the form of being physically harmed by other tuk-tuk drivers. After spending a day with her she explained the easiest way for her to look like a man is to cut her hair short, like she has it. I requested Sky to take me to her hair dresser and get my hair cut like hers. She looked at me quite shocked but incredibly humbled that I would want to do this in her honor. When we arrived at the hair salon her friends were laughing that I would actually want a boy cut, but I insisted and I even think I saw Sky save a lock of my hair. After the cut she was beaming and we celebrated. Rosie, Karen, Chloe and I where ever we went always called Sky to pick us up because she may be the bravest woman I have ever met and to think that sometimes she and her sister have to decide on eating, or filling up the tuk-tuk with gas is just unimaginable. www.youtube.com/ lushvidz www.twitter.com/ lushcosmetics LUSH forum.lush.com FORUM Customer Care Hours Have a LUSH question?

By Mark Constantine LUSH founder Mark Constantine explains why we are adamantly against animal testing. A lot of modern chemicals were developed in the Victorian era and one of the things that the Victorians had a lot of was coal tar, which was a by-product of making the gas used in streetlamps. Not only was it abundant but it was also free, so if you were a research chemist you could get a lot of it. So all sorts of chemicals, for example, modern fragrance materials like coumarin, were developed from coal tar. Even more interestingly modern dye stuffs, azo dyes, were developed from coal tar. So when you look at Queen Victoria sitting there in purple, that was one of the first ever new dye stuffs and it was incredibly expensive so that’s why the Queen wore it. Then they started to develop other colours through the First World War so that you could dye curtains and carpets and bedding and clothes, and it wasn’t very long before some bright spark took carpet dyes and started to dye peoples’ hair with them. And the problem with that is that it was highly allergic, so many people had dreadful reactions to it. Their tongues would swell, they would asphyxiate and die, or suffer dreadful allergic reactions and itch and be in a terrible state for several days. But that didn’t stop people from doing it because they liked to have their hair coloured. Now the other problem with these dyes is that because they are very tiny molecules, they can pass through the skin and into the bloodstream. When people who had recently had their hair dyed were studied, traces of the dye were found in their urine, and the dye stuff could be detected for up to 24 hours after having their hair dyed. Tellingly, these fairly obvious results were “tests” on human beings. When they started to test on animals they really couldn’t agree whether it had any negative effect at all. So there have been lots of tests on animals over the years and still this material is used in hair dyes and still causes problems for the people using it. So here we’ve got a series of tests that aren’t quite up to the job and it’s not surprising really because you wouldn’t expect rubbing a bit of dye stuff on a hamster or a guinea pig and then seeing what happens to them to be a very good model for a human being. When I first started my career, finished cosmetics were still being routinely tested on animals. So an eyeshadow, a “So we started lipstick, a shampoo; they would to come up with go through a series of tests on That wasn’t really very a standard that animals. nice and quite often very cruel. all cosmetic So we started to come up with a standard that all cosmetic companies companies could join to stop could join to the testing of finished products stop the testing on animals and it became a huge issue and many people of finished wrote to cosmetic companies products on and basically testing of finished cosmetics on animals stopped. animals...” That was a great success. 22 00 S till, one had to look at it and think, well we may not be testing the finished goods but we are still testing the raw materials. So they were still taking the raw materials and they were testing them on animals. So we came up with this new rule, which said that if you were testing on animals we won’t buy from you. One of the most exciting things during the last government was that they banned testing on animals for cosmetics products, and did away with most of the testing on the ingredients. We had just thought that we had won that, that it was all over, that everything would be cruelty free - when a new piece of European legislation cropped up, called the Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals (REACH) and this legislation meant that they would be screening all existing ingredients for their safety and many of those tests would be on animals. Now our attitude at LUSH is that the best way of seeing if something is safe or not is for it to have had a long history of safe use. So if you take rosemary, people have been picking rosemary and popping it in their food or making teas out of it or washing their faces with it for at least 500 years. If you take Henna, it has been used for 2000 years at least, people have rolled their babies in it, they’ve eaten it in Morocco, it has an extremely long history of safe use. So having something with a very long history of safe use is the way we tend to work. T he situation we now find ourselves in with cosmetics is that existing raw materials, where in the past we could guarantee that they weren’t going to be tested on animals, now even well established things could be tested on animals. REACH has already begun, but when it was becoming legislation we took a big lorry-load of horse manure and dumped it outside the European Parliament in protest of these mandatory animal tests, which made us feel slightly better but probably didn’t save any animals’ lives. So for us, at the moment, what this means is that there are going to be more and more ingredients being tested where we cannot find a supplier that has not been involved, because under REACH if you are the manufacturer or supplier of any of the ingredients covered then you are obliged to contribute to any of the animal testing that the EU demands. So where do we go now on cruelty-free? Well we know we’re not going to have finished products tested on animals and we would like to create a new criteria against animal testing that includes the funding of alternatives to animal experiments. And hopefully we can raise some money to get that to happen, or certainly influence authorities to make that happen. Despite the massive obstacles to cruelty-free cosmetics that REACH has thrown up, we haven’t given up and we’re working hard every day to do everything we can to fight against animal testing and for safety through alternative technology. “Despite the massive obstacles to crueltyfree cosmetics that REACH has thrown up, we haven’t given up and we’re working hard every day to do everything we can to fight against animal testing and for safety through alternative technology.” www.youtube.com/ www.twitter.com/ LUSH forum.lush.com LUSH CosmeticsCARE & PHONE ORDERS: lushcosmetics CUSTOMER : 1 888 733 5874 lushvidz FORUM The Edge Is soap of the Forest really all that clean? Transforming the “soap-ply” chain By: Shama Alexander, Green Officer Extraordinaire Our very own eco-warrior Ruth writes about the challenges in the biggest rainforest in the world, and how LUSH and our customers can plant the seeds of a greener future. Have you ever thought about what goes into making a bar of soap? Most of us don’t. Aside from some yummy ingredients like lavender and honey, there is a considerable amount of energy, water and fuel consumed in soap-making... well, the making of any product. Being an ecoconscious consumer, I bet that you never thought your soap could add to your environmental footprint! Being both socially and environmentally responsible while creating the most innovative soap products in the world, is all part of our promise to our customers. Our buyers are always sourcing the finest, most sustainable ingredients and materials in the world. And they make sure we get them from suppliers that reflect our values. Our mouthwatering seaweed comes from the shores of Vancouver Island and Japan, our heavenly rich organic shea butter nuts are picked in subSaharan Africa, our fair trade canvas bags and knot-wraps are sewn together by a women’s co-op in India, and our 100% recycled paper that covers our lovingly wrapped gifts is from Nepal. Now, here’s what makes the business of keeping you clean, a little bit dirty... We love working with communities around the world that need support from companies like us to sustain and grow. The obvious consequence of this is the environmental impact of having to transport things back to our facilities where they can be made into products. There are added impacts when making our products too, since we need to add water and energy to heat and mix the ingredients. The finished products are then packaged and boxed for trucking to distribution centers, where they are shipped to stores. This is the typical “life cycle” of any product – from a bar of soap, to a coffee table, to a laptop computer, to a car – and, as you can see, there are a lot of inputs and outputs along the way. So with all this hullabaloo, how do we stay true to our eco-centric roots? Buying habits are hard to break, for most global companies. But not for LUSH! We developed a green-purchasing reference guide for our Buying Team. This easy reference tool gives our buyers (who are knowledgeable about all this already!) the ability to quickly rank the eco-friendliness of ingredients and materials. This way, they can make quick purchasing decisions without having to worry about if a purchase could compromise our values. Oh, and they also committed to reducing airfreight of materials as well, to further lessen our impact on the earth. It really is just a series of trivial changes like this that makes a WORLD of difference. Not many companies do what they say they do, but you can trust us... we love polar bears as much as you do. Ben Creative Buyer “ As the print buyer for LUSH UK, I’m always looking for new and creative ways to improve the quality and reduce the environmental impact of our printed materials. To be given the opportunity to see firsthand the devastation caused by repeated logging and mono-cultivation in the Amazon on both the environment and the indigenous population, has strengthened my resolve to source the greenest raw materials available, and to work closely with our suppliers to minimize waste, reduce energy consumption, and incorporate recycling initiatives. All prices listed are retail prices, pricing between web and retail may vary. All prices are believed to be correct at the time of printing. We reserve the right to correct any errors or omissions. ” When you have the combined labels of ‘environmentalist’ and ‘Brazilian’, it’s common to face the question: “Have you ever been to the Amazon?”. Until now, I always replied that the only jungle I knew was the concrete jungle of São Paulo. Well, now I can say – thanks to LUSH – that I have finally been to the Amazon! When the opportunity came up to visit our rosewood suppliers, I kindly let our buying team know that they wouldn’t dare go to Brazil without me. I visited the Peruvian and the Brazilian Amazon. The Amazon is BIG. It covers 40% of the Latin American continent, has the largest river in the world and occupies 33 times the area of the UK. It is not just about halting deforestation and consuming less of the products from a flattened forest like meat, leather, wood, soya, palm oil, etc; it is also about finding a way to help sustain the 25 million people who live there in ways that keep the forest standing. And with that in mind, I set off to Pucallpa, Peru. There, LUSH through our charitable giving, is helping a local NGO called REDPAL-Peru, the Latin American Permaculture Network. Last year we supported an agro-forestry project and very recently, gave some seed funding to build an Ecoversity in a degraded area donated by the government. The idea is to create a hub for the local communities to learn about ecological and economical social models that rescue community living and the traditional skills of using materials from the forest sustainably. We visited one of these communities after 10 hours on a speed boat on the Ucayali river. There we learned about local plants and saw a three-year old reforestation project that will hopefully become a demonstration site for the area. By sheer coincidence, the government was in the area promoting a cacao planting project, where the communities would be allowed to clear some forest and plant hybrid cacao seeds. We gave a talk to the community and discussed using more sustainable techniques like agroforestry and using native cacao species. The Shipibo community voted and agreed to try the system we suggested. LUSH has now paid for 3,000 cacao plants and for some specialists to take the saplings to the village and show them how to integrate the plants in the existing forest. This alone was worth the trip! Going up and down the river, we came V = Vegan * Occurs naturally in essential oils across many barges carrying vast amounts of logs illegally harvested. The river communities are also struggling to find fish in the rivers as they have long been caught by big trawlers. The nearby forest looks LUSH, but it’s almost as if a whole layer of the forest canopy has been taken out, and it has. The indigenous people there live in the what’s meant to be the most bio-diverse ecosystem in the world and still suffer from malnutrition. It makes me sad. In Brazil, the story is a little bit better as there is more government control, but nearly 20% of forest has taken the chop. I met Greenpeace in Manaus and we discussed the wood-soya-cattle degradation cycle. First come the loggers and take out the valuable wood, then they take the second-grade wood, finally comes the tractors with their chains and flatten it all down. The land owners usually douse the area in diesel and set fire. While there’s still smoke, small planes come and spread the brachiaria seeds and bring in the cows. First you get 5 heads of cattle in one hectare, then as the soil degrades without the forest fertility on top, this number reduces dramatically. The native grass, which the cows don’t eat, outcompetes the planted grass and after a few cycles of slash and burn, the soil can no longer support cattle and the fields are abandoned. The average in the Amazon is 0.7 heads of cattle per 10,000 sq m of what used to be virgin forest. That’s where LUSH comes in; we can buy non-timber forest products that support communities and suppliers we trust. They are the guardians of the forest and we need to make it more attractive for them to keep the forest standing. Cupuaçu butter, murmuru and Brazil nut oil are already part of our ingredients list, but there are many more to come. And what can you do? If you’re not vegetarian, you can make sure the meat you eat only comes from the UK and any wood you buy is FSC*. You can eat lots of Brazil nuts, native shade-grown cacao and buy some forest super foods like açaí, lúcuma, etc. But most importantly, you can campaign for real solutions and support projects like the Ecoversity in Peru. Find out more about this trip and how you can help at: http:// greenbathroom.wordpress.com *Editor’s note: In North America our suggestion would be to eat local grass-fed meat products and to use recycled content paper products. WWW.LUSH.CA 23 We are very happy and proud of the Senir primary school and hope to be able to support it for many years to come. In 2010, as an added step towards encouraging attendance, our supplier has also started providing bursaries for the least fortunate kids in the area for school uniforms, school bags, transport etc... . The school can cater for up to 90 local children and our supplier is also encouraging the gypsy rose pickers to send their children to school to ensure that equal education opportunities are offered to all the kids in the area. He decided that he would like to do something about it and help the local children’s education and worked with the local council to create the first non fee paying school in Turkey for children aged 3 to 6. The local council agreed to provide the land for the build whilst our supplier committed himself to gathering contributions to cover the full cost of building and fitting the school. For each kg of rose absolute, we purchase $34 goes towards the project and our supplier also matches this amount. In 2009, we bought 600 kg of absolute, contributing $20,500 towards the school project and the school was finally opened, at a total cost of $71,000. There is no free schooling for children under 6 years old in Turkey at the moment. The Turkish government had been talking for a few years of starting pilot schools, but nothing had happened yet. Our Turkish rose absolute supplier and his family, who are based in Senir, always thought that it was a real shame not to be able to school kids during their early years when they are most receptive. We buy our rose absolute from Turkey, where we help to make a positive impact on the children of the local community. Delightfully Turkish Simon: Yeah, I definitely feel quite privileged in that regard. These suppliers will say to you - when we were in Egypt, the guys were saying that they used to have people from Guerlain come and visit the plantations and smell the jasmine to ensure the quality was really good and now they don’t get that anymore. They don’t get perfumers out in the field; they don’t even get buyers out in the field. So yeah, we’re quite lucky in that we can still do that - almost keeping that little flame alive. Mark: I think the interesting thing for you is that by going out and visiting all these places, you’re getting an education that most perfumers will never get. Simon: We’re lucky because we’ve decided to use a lot of natural raw materials and we can afford to do so because we’ve made environmental decisions on packaging, which means we don’t have to worry so much about the cost of the essential oils. We’re trying to get things as directly as possible and work with people, farmers and suppliers directly in that country. After that, it’s just really looking at the ethics of that and looking at where the material has been produced and how you build up a relationship with your supplier just so you can talk to them about environmental issues, child labour and all of those things. What is it like to try to buy raw materials that are as ethically sourced as possible, and how does that fit with your animal testing policy? Simon: Then it got so interesting that I ended up exploring new perfumes and the quality of the ingredients. Mark: That’s when it actually started to become more real. The sheer grind of going through all that to get the materials sorted - that, I suppose, really developed our abilities as perfumers. Mark: I used to make up all the perfumes for us and then for LUSH. Simon: It’s really good training to help you understand about perfume and how it is put together, even if they were only pretty simple perfumes. Then I got more interested in the quality of the materials, especially when I found out that some of them might be adulterated. Simon: I was compounding for a few years and I think that was one of the best ways to learn. Mark: Jeffrey, my perfumer, disappearing from the team and me not being able to sort out any of that outside... Afterwards, I thought I could have been doing it the whole time! It’s like instructing a dog - sometimes they might behave, sometimes they might not. Both: Ladies. Simon: I can’t think of anything else. It was a different use of creativity after coming out of art college. That’s what I think. That’s the official line. I like perfumery because it demands a bit more discipline than other types of creativity; it’s a different way of looking at things. What first got you interested in perfumes?

There is a scene in which the two main characters, played by Catherine Deneuve and Jean Claude Braily, take a bath together and wash themselves with soap. It made Mark think about how our attitude to soap has changed over the years and how it seems to be less ‘sexy’ now than it once was. At LUSH, we don’t believe soap is any less sexier than it ever was. Soap is versatile, dependable, honest and doesn’t need any fancy packaging. In fact, come to think of it, soap is damn sexy!

Think bubblegum, candy shops, and pretty pink things! 02788 V Yuliya Creative buyer I started with LUSH 5 years ago working in different roles as production assistant, compounder, stock control person and recently moved on to a buying team. All my roles in the company gave me great opportunity to learn a lot not only about products we make and how we make them but what raw materials we use and where we get these materials from. It’s like discovering the world again enriching my geographical knowledge by linking different countries with the different material sources. My vision for buying is not only about getting materials on time for a reasonable price, but about selecting optimal environmental friendly sources, getting to know your suppliers better and developing a good mutual relationship. WWW.LUSH.CA 27 Rapeseed PALM-FREE SOAP BASE Palm oil is the one of the most ubiquitous of all vegetable oils and can be found in everything from margarine to face-wash. Several years ago, after much investigation, we decided that this widespread usage had gotten to a stage that meant the material was no longer being cultivated responsibly – vast swathes of land in Indonesia and Malaysia were being cleared to develop palm plantations. This land was primary rainforest, a rich landscape that supported huge biodiversity. Once cleared, this land becomes a sterile environment, supporting only uniform rows of palm trees with cleared ground between each plant. Clearly this situation was hugely detrimental to the environment and so we questioned whether palm could truly be considered a sustainable resource. After much deliberation we decided that we had to take action in an effort to foster change within the cosmetics industry (which accounts for approximately 7% of global palm usage). The process started in 2007 and after much hard work resulted in a palm-free soap base. Our soap base was by far the largest use of palm here at LUSH and replacing the oil with a local alternative, rapeseed, was a huge step. We’re now several different formulations down the line and are very happy with the finished product! Last summer, we decided to visit our supplier of rapeseed in Wakefield, Yorkshire, England. On the way to the factory, we stopped on the outskirts of the town to explore some of the countryside and look at how rapeseed as a crop is cultivated. Standing in a field in West Yorkshire, surrounded by a patchwork quilt of rolling hills and the sounds of birds, bees and other wildlife, there is no doubt that in switching away from palm oil we have taken the right course of action. The fields are mixed crops and surrounded by hedgerows which act as wildlife corridors for local species. As we stood there we saw bees landing on the flowering plants – an encouraging sight and very pleasing when you consider the decline in global bee populations exacerbated by the rise of monoculture. The rapeseed plants produce small pods that contain their seeds; these are then pressed to produce the oil that we use. The oil that is used in the soap base can be sourced from all over Europe but it is nice to think that some of these plants will produce oil that will be used just down the road. In any case, the use of a European crop is a drastic improvement upon the idea of vast containers of oil being shipped around the world to feed our consumption. Moving on from the field it was only a short drive to the factory. The first thing that struck me was how traditional an operation it is. The company was founded in the 19th Century and is still a family enterprise to this day. Much like the LUSH kitchens, a lot of the work here is done by hand – from filling finished product to breaking up the sheets of soap base into the flakes that we use in some of our products. Perhaps unsurprisingly the entire factory is coated in a fine layer of soap, which though removed regularly soon builds up again– luckily none of us lost our footing! We had timed the visit so that they would be making the LUSH palm-free base and again we saw the care taken to make sure that our product remains uncontaminated. In 2009 we used 586 tonnes* of soap base globally. If we assume that this is a constant quantity then with Japan now using the rapeseed base we will be saving approximately 390 tonnes of palm oil every year versus using a palm base – we can also view this as potentially saving over 230 acres of primary rainforest – something we should be very proud of! *metric tonne = 1,000kg Tom Wyman Creative buyer “ I’m the self-confessed geek of the team, tending to get overly excited when it comes to concepts like green chemistry. ” Tom is the buyer who looks after our synthetic raw materials, quite a varied term that covers everything from the citric acid that gives fizz to our bath bombs to the colours which make our soaps stand out a mile. In addition to looking after our existing materials he works with R&D to actively source new and interesting developments, always making sure that they meet our strict ethical criteria and reduce our reliance on unsustainable industries. 28 Tom’s report on palm oil and our new soap base provides a perfect illustration of the enormous challenges faced by the buying team in their quest to ethically source ingredients. At every turn we are coming up against ecological limits. We live on a finite planet with finite resources, but a growing planetary population and growing levels of consumption mean we are already consuming more resources than are available. With each passing year we are creating an ecological debt and if we are not very careful we could be faced with an ecological collapse that will make the recent financial crisis look like a walk in the park. Deforestation is one of the most visible and critical manifestations of the quest for ever cheaper and more disposable products. Recently, at a conference in London, the worlds most respected primatologists gathered together to discuss the plight of apes. Birute Galdikas is acknowledged as the foremost expert on orangutans and, along with Jane Goodall and Dianne Fossey, spent decades studying apes in the field, observing and recording their behaviour and changing the way the world views these remarkable animals. 10 years ago (at the last Ape Alliance conference) there was barely a mention of palm oil as posing a threat to the survival of orangutans. Just a decade later and it was clear that the expansion of palm oil plantations was the primary driver of deforestation in Indonesia, home of the world’s only wild orangutans. So much so that Dr Burette ended her presentation with a simple and powerful slide that read “Help Orangutans: DO NOT USE PALM OIL” LUSH came to the same conclusion a number of years ago, having been to Indonesia and seen the devastation caused by palm oil plantations firsthand, and worked with groups fighting to protect forests, animals and uphold the rights of indigenous people. The problems caused by the use of this cheap and productive oil cannot be overstated. There is a very real danger that orangutans will be the first great ape to become extinct in the wild due to deforestation to make way for palm oil plantations, for use in consumer goods and also as a fuel source for transport and electricity generation (in the form of biofuels). stop the destruction it is causing. However, that is not to say the alternatives are not without their own problems. Rapeseed, while predominantly cultivated in Europe using existing agricultural land, is still mainly grown as a monoculture crop – that is in vast fields without the biodiversity you would find in a more natural wild setting. Most is also grown using chemical pesticide and fertilizers. Rapeseed oil is also now being looked at as a fuel source and therefore is adding to the burden its production puts on our own ecosystems. Even so, moving from palm oil to rapeseed oil is definitely a step in the right direction. It eases the pressure being placed on the most biodiverse, fragile and ecologically diverse forests in the world, but we still need to work on making the alternative oils as sustainable as possible, and diversify the kinds of oils we use, so there is not an abundance of pressure being placed on any one particular habitat or part of the world. So in future we might see soaps with olive, sunflower, hemp and other oils as their base. While the challenges of ethically sourcing ingredients for LUSH products are enormous, so are the potential rewards. Careful consideration of what to buy and from where, can help stop environmental destruction, can help to protect animals and can enrich communities. When it comes to palm oil, the only ethical solution right now is to keep as far away from the stuff as possible. So clearly palm oil production is unsustainable at current levels of consumption and urgent action is needed to CUSTOMER CARE & PHONE ORDERS: 1 888 733 5874 Gentle coconut scrub for soft skin Sugar Babe is for all those softies out there who love the feeling of buffed and radiant skin with a hint of coconutty sweetness.

The founder [Dave Macallion] started it back in the late 70s as ‘Healthy Green’ and he had been involved in the Anne Wigmore tradition of healthful living and a vegan diet so he started a small company to grow wheatgrass. He passed last year. Forgive me for asking, but who is Anne Wigmore? She is probably the reason today that we have things like sprouts in salad bars and certainly the reason that we have wheatgrass as a popular juice Well, Anne Wigmore? My goodness! She is probably the reason today that we have things like sprouts in salad bars and certainly the reason that we have wheatgrass as a popular juice that’s almost got main stream status. She’s the gal that started the raw living foods movement back in the 50s and 60s. So, just how big is Essential Green? Well, we’re just a small company. We supply the lower mainland [British Columbia] juice bars and we have a number of clients and outlets in stores. We’re not large by any means. There are four of us working to get the wheatgrass out to folks on the lower mainland. Do you have any idea how much wheatgrass do you grow annually? I don’t know exact figures, but let’s just say people drink All prices listed are retail prices, pricing between web and retail may vary. All prices are believed to be correct at the time of printing. We reserve the right to correct any errors or omissions. thousands of ounces of wheatgrass from our small farm in Vancouver. Can you tell us a bit about the benefits of wheatgrass? [Anne] Wigmore used wheatgrass as a bit of a Trojan horse to deliver kind of an amplified message in one drink. Wheatgrass itself is one of the really important grasses for nutrition, and when you consider that some of the largest and most powerful animals on earth; oxen, bulls and cows, somehow they do it on grasses and water. So we think wheatgrass itself, particularly when you cut and juice it at early stages of its growth, it’s tremendously nutritious. We definitely use wheatgrass because we’ve found it’s very softening and nutritious for the skin. Yeah, Anne Wigmore actually promoted wheatgrass for a whole lot of reasons really related to the health of the soil but she claimed that the body could utilize wheatgrass, not just via drinking it but taking it internally and other ways and soaking in the bath tub. Or as you have discovered at LUSH, including it in some of your products because the skin definitely absorbs it and is affected by it. One of the reasons we do buy from you is because you’re a local grower. How important is it to support local agriculture? Well I think that if we don’t wake up to the fact that our food situation and where our food comes from and how we’re supply various products is based on this artificial input on energy that’s soon to end, i.e. peak oil. I think people are going to have a very rude awakening. We really need to look at how we’re organized to reduce the distance things are travelling, not only in how they’re transported and produced. I mean, we’ve got to go local and it would be much wiser for us now to start setting that up instead of waiting until it’s forced upon us. In terms of local, there’s no question that it’s the right thing to do and it will be the mandatory thing to do, I think sooner rather than later. our soil specially mixed by a local outfit here and delivered to us so we know where the soil , the compost, where the amendments came from. We know that the company is reliable and we know that they don’t use any animal products. Fish byproducts, meat byproducts or poultry byproducts, we know none of that goes into the soil that we get, because we’re also an ethical organization. We know who our suppliers are and In terms of where their stuff comes local, there’s no from. So we get that, and of course our growing question that operation is strictly no chemicals. it’s the right thing to do and it will be the mandatory thing to do. Are there any unconventional uses for wheatgrass that we might not know about? Yeah, LUSH Cosmetics! For me, that’s pretty unconventional. On the farming community side, I know when they problems with chickens laying or when they want to improve the quality of eggs from chickens they’ll chop up wheatgrass into their feed. We also sell wheatgrass to people who want center pieces for their weddings, and the Persian community in the spring often uses wheatgrass in their celebrations. What’s the best part about your job working with Essential Green? It’s a real privilege to produce and supply something that you have a real belief in that is helpful and valuable for the money you get for it. Being able to engage in a business that indeed has a strong value component that helps people and promotes the message that Anne Wigmore brought to us which is food, soil and health are so related that we really need to pay more attention to it. I feel really lucky to be in a position to promote that. Do you grow organically? We know you grow out of a green house, so what are the measures you take to make sure you grow in that fashion? That’s a good question. We’re not a certified organic operation because the certification process involves quite a bit of bureaucratic efforts and some other things that for us right now just really isn’t necessary. We support the idea, and Wigmore was absolutely adamant about the situation relayed to organic growing so we follow her guidelines. Basically we use certified organic seed, we get V = Vegan * Occurs naturally in essential oils WWW.LUSH.CA 31 SHOWER JELLIES Most people look at our jellies with astonishment and confusion.

This varied and polychrome plant group, delightfully situated along Earth’s coasts, will constantly thrill and entice you.” - Louis Druehl, Pacific Seaweeds Gathering Seaweed, by the Seashore W ithin this pristine marine environment, Canadian Kelp Resources has been operating in since 1981 with Louis Druehl and Rae Hopkins Druehl at the helm. Our seaweed supplier since 2003, Canadian Kelp Resources (CKR) is a small local business with just Louis and Rae, part-time help from another couple and the occasional seasonal hires. However, these aren’t your average sea vegetable harvesters; Louis has devoted his entire life to studying and researching seaweed and also goes by Professor Druehl with a Ph.D in Marine Botany. In fact, in recognition of his life-long dedication to the study of kelp a new species was named in his honor! Rae Hopkins Druel is an accomplished professional cook with extensive experience in innovative food preparation. This coastline around Bamfield has the richest kelp flora in the world, with 24 species being reported. With an emphasis on the development and promotion of quality kelp products and good ecological practices, all harvesting by CKR is government regulated requiring licensing, and outlines rules on when, where, how and how much can be harvested to assure a sustainable resource. Every plant harvested continues to grow and reproduce - the plants are not destroyed in the process. Louis describes it as a form of seaside pasture maintenance. In addition to supplying sea vegetables and raw kelp material to other companies, Canadian Kelp Resources also provides consultancy on kelp farming, product development and processing as well as environmental assessment and bio-remediation. CKR has designed a method and works with NGO’s and First Nations communities to re-establish kelp beds, home to juvenile salmon and other sea creatures providing a food source and shelter. With so many species to harvest and such a varied product offering, CKR is a bustling business and operates year round. Lucky for us, that means the seaweed we buy is always available.

CUSTOMER CARE & PHONE ORDERS: 1 888 733 5874 or saucepan into a second saucepan containing hot water (or you cookery types can use your bain-marie). Heat until the henna is bearably hot to the touch. (The hotter the better for brighter colour, but don’t burn your head!) Do not microwave it. TIP: Rub Ultra Bland or Ultrabalm around the hairline area to avoid staining from the henna! STRAND TEST: Always do a strand test before you put it all over your head. Follow the instructions and remember that henna continues to brighten your hair for a couple of hours after you’ve washed it off. If you’ve had chemical hair treatments recently, that will affect the finished result, particularly if you’ve bleached or lightened it. If your hair’s been lightened in the sun, that can make a difference too. A strand test is EXTRA IMPORTANT if your hair’s been treated in any way. Henna has a stunning effect on hair sprinkled with grey; the grey bits will sparkle bright red amongst the darker hairs. If you’ve over 40% grey prepare for a very vibrant result and always include some grey hair in your strand test. How to do the strand test: Add boiling water to a small amount of Caca in a heat proof bowl. When the mixture is bearably hot, use rubber gloves to apply to a section of hair about half an inch wide and leave for 20 minutes to an hour or so. Then shampoo, rinse and dry the hair. If the colour is what you want then go ahead and put it all over your hair. STEP TWO Wearing rubber gloves, apply your henna thoroughly to clean, dry hair, section by section, working from back to front. Cover the roots first then apply the mixture to the ends (makes life much easier). V For raven-haired, natural beauty Caca Noir is for those who like to give into the darkness. This one gives your hair a raven colour with subtle blue tints. Noir won’t dry your hair, it’ll soften it with cocoa butter. We think you’ll be very impressed with a little Noir. 00683 325g $20.95 Indigofera Tinctoria Extract, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Lawsonia Inermis (Henna) Extract, Chondrus Crispus (Carrageenan) Extract, Eugenia Caryophyllus (Clove) Leaf Oil, *Citral, *Eugenol, *Geraniol, *Citronellol, *Limonene, *Linalool, Parfum Made in Canada TAKE NOTE: If by any chance you don’t like the colour (because you didn’t do a strand test like we told you!) don’t try to bleach it out because bleach opens the hair’s cuticles, forcing the henna deeper in and making it harder to remove. Henna can diminish the effect of perming solution so if you want permed, hennaed hair, get the perm first and apply the Caca later.

Made in Canada WWW.LUSH.CA 37 Here’s how this coconut oil is produced: The coconuts are stored in a shed-like building and moved over to the factory when needed. The flesh is carved out by hand. They’re then chopped in half. The flesh is washed and put through a grinder to desiccate it. Reena’s got a lovely bunch of coconuts! In November 2010, LUSH Times Designer Reena joined Emma from the buying team on a visit to Indonesia to take a look at where LUSH buys extra virgin coconut oil from. I Water is added and it’s whisked to create lots of creamy coconut milk. Left at room temperature (which is hot) for a few hours, the milk seperates from the water. The water is drained off. The oil then has to go through three different sieving processes. The oil is then put into this machine to vacuum all water that may be left in the oil. 38 This is then popped into muslin bags and squished through a presser to get all the milk out. The containers are then moved to an oven-like room where the heat draws the oil out from the milk. It’s then put through two types of filter paper three time! This is the bit that takes the longest. It’s bagged and tubbed up ready to send over to our factories. f you read about Harry’s Brazilian adventure on page 7 you’ll know that both Harry and myself are ridiculously excited and thrilled about this buying edition of the LUSH Times. Both of us being able to join some of the buying team on two separate adventures in order to report back to you, our customers, is by far the most exciting and inspirational thing we’ve done working for LUSH so far. Adventure is the perfect word for my visit to Indonesia. I don’t think I’ve ever travelled as far in such a short space of time before. The reason for this trip was to re-visit where we get our extra virgin coconut oil from. We’ve been buying this oil from Sumatera Oil for over two years now. Re-visits to our suppliers are important to us. We believe it’s essential to deal with our suppliers face to face (as much as possible) and that we’re happy that the ingredients are being produced in a way that we agree with. My adventure was to be shared with Emma from the buying team, Elisa (R&D) and Chris from LUSH TV. We set off for the airport around midday on Sunday 28th November, a very cold Sunday indeed, just before the first snow of the year. I’m not sure I was completely prepared for the amount of travelling ahead of me at that point! To visit the factory for the coconut oil we needed to head to Hinako. Hinako is an island that is part of a group of small islands called the Banyak Islands in North Sumatra. To get there we had to take a thirteen hour flight to Singapore and then another short flight to Medan. There we were met by Matt from Sumatera Oil. It was lovely to be greeted by such a smiley chap when thrown into the heat and chaos that is Medan airport. Matt took us to the hotel we were gong to stay in for that night before we carried on with the journey to the factory the next morning. He took us out to try some local cuisine and chat about the coconut oil. I’ve never eaten food with such a tremendous kick before! Lucky, my drink was a young coconut with the top cut off and a straw popped in, the perfect soother for a burning mouth! A six o’clock start the next morning, another flight to Polonia, then a three hour drive to Sirombu got us to the jetty where we were faced with the small wooden boat that would take us to Hinako. The wind was up and the sea was extremely rough. Some people who live on some of the other islands had been stranded at Sirombu because the sea was too rough to get back! They asked if they could hitch a ride with us and of course, we weren’t going to leave them there. Getting onto the boat was quite an interesting experience and so was the hour-long trip on it. Finally we arrived at Hinako. The sea was too choppy to allow us to pull up alongside the jetty so we had to hop on to another smaller rowboat and then on to land, phew! How would I describe Hinako? Coconut trees, coconut trees and more coconut trees! It certainly seems the ideal place to source our coconut oil from. After a short walk we arrived at the factory. Sumatera Oil is a company set up by a couple called Chana and Ruby with the help of Matt. Chana and Ruby took it upon themselves to help the people of Hinako when it was hit by the tsunami in December 2004 and the aftershock in March 2005. Homes, medical facilities, schools and shops were destroyed. Jetties disappeared into the sea, fishing boats were sunk. The earthquake also altered the geology of the islands. The reef surrounding them rose by 2 metres putting a wide band of jagged rock and coral between the island and the sea. Chana and Ruby gave immediate help to the people of Hinako and then set up Sumatera Oil as a sustainable organisation that would involve and empower the local people. The money made from the coconut oil provides a wage for the people who work in the factory, payment to the coconut farmers and a club called the Coconut Kids Club for young children to attend five days a week to kick start their education. The people working in the factory were a little shy of the cameras but very friendly and were more than happy to show us the process of making the coconut oil. As you’ll see from the photos (left), the process is a fairly lengthy one and a lot is done by hand. While we were there the oil being produced would be sent to our factory in Japan for LUSH in Asia. Right next to the factory is the Coconut Kids Club. Plenty of inquisitive little faces started to appear as we made our way over to the Coconut Kids Club. The kids were very friendly and certainly interested in us and our cameras. They were gathered to sing a few songs in Indonesian for us and it was clear to see that these were some happy kids indeed. It was obvious that the production of the coconut oil is improving the lives of the people there. On the left was the oil being made and on the right was the result of what was trying to be achieved, the kids club. After we were shown around we watched one of the workers climb a coconut tree, cut down some coconuts and slide back down again. Matt cut the coconut tops for us to have a rather refreshing slurp of coconut water, yummy! We hopped back on the boat just as the sun was starting to set. We headed to another island, Asu where we would stay in some huts on the beach for the night. From there we started our journey home which consisted of another boat ride, a three hour drive, an over night stop off at Sorake Beach. The next morning we stopped off for a quick visit to Matt’s home village. He wanted to show us what a traditional village looked like so we had a better understanding of what life there was like. The village was amazing! The houses looked like boats on stilts and we were welcomed with smiles by the locals. Again, I think they were quite interested to see visitors and before we knew it we had a group of young kids following us around. We then drove to Polonia airport where we said goodbye to Matt and headed back to Medan. There we stopped the night ready for another early start to Medan airport, fly to Singapore and finally London Heathrow. When I look back on my trip and think about the people I met I find myself feeling overwhelmed with gratitude. Although I didn’t get to meet Chana and Ruby, I am in awe of what they have achieved and how selfless they are. Some of the conversations had with Matt sent shivers up my spine; his dedication to the project and his need to help the people around him is so inspiring. It would be a hard task for me to be able to say I’ve met another person as good as he is. For me, I feel very lucky and proud to work for a company that goes to such lengths to find the quality of ingredients we do. Seeing the positive things that come from us buying our coconut oil from Sumatera Oil has made me want to ask the inventors to create some new products using the coconut oil! Since I’ve been back people have been asking me, how was your trip? The first thing that pops into my head to answer is amazing, just amazing. 39 GIFTS We put just as much love and effort into our handmade gifts as we do our products.

Re-wrap are a non-profit organization with a mission to ensure that the craftsmen and women of India can sustain their families through fair wages and work in a clean, healthy and safe environment. They work with co-ops that share their commitment to helping specific segments of society: those most vulnerable, single household women, physically or mentally disabled people and tribal communities. When we visited in June 2009 they had employed 25 women. This number has now risen to 50 and they have trained a total of 58 women. We’re quite fond of ingenuity at LUSH and are always looking at new ways of doing things. We’ve replaced our boxes, paper and ribbon with Knot-Wrap. We were inspired by the Japanese art of wrapping, or ‘Furoshiki’, which means ‘bath spread’. Since the 1600s Furoshiki was used in public bathhouses to wrap and carry bathing articles. We loved this style of wrapping so much that we borrowed the idea. Collect all of the beautiful designs, wrap gifts in them or wear them in your hair.

V = Vegan * Occurs naturally in essential oils WWW.LUSH.CA 00 Sandalwood The tree is primarily grown in India, which is where we used to source our oil from until we became aware of the illegal tradeforcing us to cut all ties with the supplier. We now source our oil from a sustainable supplier in Vanuatu, where our buyer Agnes visited in 2009 to learn more about how they’re taking steps to improve the trade of Sandalwood all over the world. The following is an excerpt from her adventure to the gorgeous, volcanic islands: “Vanuatu is a beautiful, wild volcanic archipelago that lies a 3 hours flight from Northern Australia and is 500 km from New Caledonia, where I had already ventured to a few years ago. Vanuatu feels a lot more like a wild outpost and is totally fascinating. Neville, the producer of the sandalwood oil we purchase, was waiting for us with his business partner Jim. Neville had decided that the island of Tanna would be our first port of call as a lot of the sandalwood trees grow there. Neville led us into the island’s forest to show me the sandalwood trees our oil is produced from. Neville’s father was a forester and worked in the timber industry for most of his working days, from his early years Neville travelled with his father to Vanuatu on timber business and has a real affinity with the local families. He has been working with them on ensuring the sustainability of sandalwood on the islands for many years and is obviously liked and respected. Neville manages to produce between 700 to 1800 kg of sandalwood essential oil per year in this small basic facility. Both Neville and Jim are full of ambition and positivity Luxury Bath Melts are the unsung heroes of the bath world. After all, we don’t call them luxury for nothing! Gorgeous on their own or perfect in addition to a Bath Bomb, bath melts are the strawberries in your champagne flute, the cherry atop your ice cream sundae, the... okay, you get it. They don’t fizz, explode or bubble-they melt into a creamy cocoa butter infused foam of essential oils and absolutes. Swirl one around in your bath for the softest waters imaginable, absolutely ideal for dry winter skin. Ahhh luxury, you are indeed a fine friend of ours. How to use Sandalwood oil is distilled from the heart wood of the semi parasitic tree, which can be found in over 10 distinct regions of the world. for their joint project and it was very refreshing to see such efforts and genuine involvement going on in an industry which has unfortunately been marred by the destruction of natural resources and the actions of a powerful mafia in India and generally anywhere Sandalwood trees are to be found. I left Neville and Jim feeling that the oil which we purchase from Vanuatu is genuinely not contributing to any negative environmental impact but that we are actually supporting a healthy process of making the species more secure.” MMM MELTING V MARSHMALLOW MOMENT Agnès ► Run a hot bath. ► Drop it in the water. ► Let the world melt away. Creative buyer It was a sharp learning “curve as it is such a complex industry but it is also an absolutely fascinating world steeped in local traditions and ancestral knowledge. ” Agnès sources the essential oils and absolutes for LUSH worldwide. She started seven years ago with very little knowledge of the essential oils world. We purchase our oils direct from producers wherever possible. A lot of our suppliers are families who have been growing, harvesting and producing for generations. It may sound corny but Agnès would say that yes, this is her dream job!

Made in Canada CUSTOMER CARE & PHONE ORDERS: 1 888 733 5874 Jasmine In the early 20th century Jasmine became popular with European fragrance makers and rose to become a well established industry. Our supplier’s company, A. Fakhry & Co. was established after the industry was nationalized and remains one of the longest standing family owned companies still running in Egypt in this industry. Jasmine absolute comes from several different origins namely India and Egypt. We have bought from both markets but prefer the quality of the Egyptian grown product. Their base of operations is in the centre of the Nile delta, 20km north of Tantah. At its peak in the 70s, jasmine fields would equate to around 2000 acres of land in this area. Now reduced to around 400 it is still seen as a valuable crop for the local farmers. Although not critical to their livelihoods, it provides extra income during the summer months. The process of picking the flowers has to be done by hand; mechanization of the collection would damage the bushes. The pickers arrive at the fields at 3:00 am to collect flowers before the intense heat of the day begins. We asked our supplier to share information on jasmine processing. This is what is what he wrote: The process of picking the flowers has to be done by hand; mechanization of the collection would damage the bushes. “Jasmine expresses the full power of its scents during the night hours, not during the day. A true Lady of the Night! The daily experience of jasmine harvest is unique when one feels the extremely powerful scent of the blossoms amidst dew covered plantations, followed by the shadowy appearance of the farm’s Chief Foreman. He is the first one at work. The night is powerfully fragrant, damp, and cool. You could nearly cut through it with a knife. More shadows appear in groups or individually. Mothers and fathers, grandmothers, cousins, boys and girls keen on making their summertime pocket money. It’s a family tradition. Silently first, then amidst a hush hush of gossiping talks you can hear the “tick, tick” of the blossoms being picked. The blossoms at that time of the day are saturated with dew. The pickers love it. It will mean more weight on the scale. As for us, the producer of Concrete, that will mean lower yields compared to the blossoms picked later during the morning. However the quality is at its best with those early morning blossoms as the fragrance of the blossom seems sealed by the dew film on the petals. Sunrise breaks. Vaporous filaments of fog dissipate in vortexes by the movements of the pickers going from one bush to another. On average, a picker will collect 3 kg a day of blossoms. “Olympic” champions will collect 8 to 10 kg per day. A feat when one considers that you need to collect 3 to 4,000 blossoms to reach 1 kg. In turn, you will need 1000 kg of blossoms to obtain some 2.5 kg of Jasmine Concrete, which in turn will yield about 55-59% of Jasmine Absolute upon displacement with ethanol. That is about 1.4 kg of the final product (Absolute) for 1000 kg of blossoms collected. A Fakhry & Co. produces, yearly, during those 6 months of harvest, 1 to 1.5 tons of Jasmine Concrete (Egypt’s total yearly production is around 3.5 tons.) Meanwhile “Hummer”, “Humvee”, and “H3” the farm’s donkeys (donkey in Arabic is said “hommar”), are getting readied to cart the freshly picked blossom to the factory nearby. Workers got the extracting tanks ready by 7:00 a.m. for the first delivery by emptying the previous day’s residual blossoms which will make it to the farm’s compost pile. The farm is certified organic and all byproducts are recycled to be used as fertilizer. By 10:00am, picking comes to an end whereas the factory is processing full steam ahead. The “snowy” blossom covered carpet of Jasmine bushes now looks like a perfectly green wall-to-wall carpet. Upon closer sight one can see the buds preparing to blossom at sunset. First on the penumbra side of the bush, then “flaming” all around the bush as the sun makes it more and more below the horizon line. The Chief Foreman has gone back home to take a well deserved rest. He will be back at 3:00 a.m. Tomorrow is another day.

MO CONSTANTINE Co-founder and Inventor Way back in 1989, Mo Constantine was busy at work in her laboratory, also known as her garden shed. From inside the modest confines, the Bath Bomb was born. Inspired to create a bath product that would be gentle on bodies young and old, Mo invented the bath product that would change the history of bath time forever. Filled with gorgeous essential oils to scent the water and skin, and with gentle baking soda to soften; when the bomb meets the water it reacts in a fizzy explosion of colour and fragrance. Often imitated but never duplicated, bath lovers around the world owe a great deal of thanks to Mo and her Bath Bomb invention. JACK CONSTANTINE Design Head Honcho and Inventor Genius must run in the family. 20 years after his mum famously created the Bath Bomb, Jack Constantine stepped into the labs and put his own stamp on the tub historical. Jack was inspired to take Bath Bombs to new and exciting depths in the bath. With shavings of bubble bar mixture, layers of scent and colour, and no end to frothy fizz - Jack’s inventions are a new chapter in the art of bathing. You may experience the crackle and pop of candies or, a stream of shimmery glitter, each one is a new excuse to lay back and escape into the tub. Want to learn more about our inventor’s and products?
