Brands get just as excited about Shark Week as consumers do and [Lush's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scan-me-for-scares) shark fin soap solidifies this.

Perfect for those looking to add an element of fright to their bathroom routines, this soap comes equipped with a tiny shark fin that's sure to entice one's house guests. The electric blue product arrives with a grey fin placed in the middle, giving the appearance that a shark is lurking near the surface of the water. In addition to the aesthetics, this product features a lavender-lime scent and comes equipped with skin-softening ingredients to leave one's hands feeling fresh.

100% of the proceeds of this product support the Rob Stewart Foundation, which protects sharks and the oceans.
