  I have also wondered that! I don't use them because of the paraben issue. I used to be the world's biggest Lush junkie! I'm talking ALL my skincare, hair care, everything. I ended up finding so many alternative brands that work just as well without adding the ingredients I want to avoid, so for the most part I've stopped using Lush. I'll still pick up a fresh face mask or a bath bomb here and there, though.

  Lush is full of chemicals (sulfates, parabens, fragrances, glycols etc). There is nothing natural about them unfortunately. I used to use soooo many of their products but after reading labels I stopped years ago.

  I even asked if they had products without parabens and most employees don't know what parabens are and one even tried to tell me all their preservatives are "food-grade" aka. edible. Which is highly unlikely!

  The staff tries to tell me their parabens are food-grade and come from blueberries (?). I use them from time to time but I don't use them on a frequent basis. There are a couple of the face masks that I like and yes I still indulge in the bubble bars or bath bombs sometimes. But they certainly are not as natural as I'd prefer.

  They never claim to be close to natural. I mean, they make glitter bath bombs...its just a fun, off-beat brand. I cant even walk into their stores, the smell is way too overpowering!

  There is nothing natural about them they are full of crap and their marketing is very good to make you think they are all natural and organic.

  You can look up the ingredients on the EWG website.  There are only a few products that I used to use from them that are actually chemical-free.  SAD!

  i used to work for them - if you're looking for organic, natural alternatives - look elsewhere

  i certainly miss some of their products, but i've given up using them due to a) expense and b) yuckies in them!
