Attending a festival calls for thoughtful body care, and the limited-edition Lush x Download Festival Kit shares staples for cleansing, moisturizing, and resetting after long hours outdoors and exposure to the elements. Within a reusable box styled like a roadie's gear case, the exclusive kit contains a body spray, a bath bomb and soap.
"Download Festival and Lush might seem like an unexpected duo, but our communities are built on passion, creativity, and challenging the status quo," said Kalem Brinkworth, Concepts and Collaborations Lead at Lush.
Download 22 Soap pairs activated charcoal with basil oil, and the Circle Pit Bath Bomb activates the senses differently with a fusion of fennel and tangerine oils. Rounding out the co-branded trio, the Ace of Sprays Body Spray blends sandalwood, tarragon and spearmint for a fresh, spicy experience.
