Lush Cosmetics has announced that it will be launching a range of "gourmet soaps," which is being kicked off with two new products: Ro's Argan and Olive Tree. These new products spotlight luxurious ingredient additions.
The Ro's Argan soap bar boasts a distinct texture from both yellow and red roses, it also includes a vibrant, fragrant scent and skin-soothing properties. The Olive Tree soap has a bold green coloring, which comes from a blend of both olive oil and blended green olives. Both soap bars features ethically sourced ingredients that help to support local communities, farmers and women in need of employment opportunities.
Both gourmet soaps cost upwards of $15, and investing in the skin-soothing ingredients alone makes them worthwhile purchases for those who love to indulge in new personal care products.
