When the Goddess of spring stirs and the forces of light and dark are perfectly balanced, we should seek harmony in our own lives. This fresh verdant soap is made with coltsfoot infusion, oat flour and lemon to cleanse the mind and balance the skin.

About the Jamie Reid x LUSH Collaboration

Inspired by the punk spiritualism of visual artist and Honorary Bard Jamie Reid and our shared love of the ancient ways, this special soap is one in a collection that celebrates a holy festival from the Druidic calendar. Jamie Reid was a radical protest artist, with a life-long interest in Druidry, who used his art to rally against social and cultural injustices. Jamie most famously designed the artwork for the Sex Pistols single ‘God Save the Queen’, which was lauded as the single most iconic image of the punk era. He also designed the album covers for musician, Lush’s music director and fellow druid, the late Simon Emmerson’s band Afro Celt Sound System.

Mo Constantine (Lush Co-Founder & Product Inventor) and her son Jack (Lush Product Inventor) took inspiration from Jamie Reid’s works of art that represent the four solar observances in the Druid’s wheel of the year and created a soap depicting each. These festivals represent our interconnectedness with the planet, and our mission to leave the world Lusher than we found it.

The base of our in-house, palm-oil-free soap is rapeseed oil and coconut oil. The coconut oil is sourced from a supplier working in Aceh, Indonesia, where the supplier supports farmers who are pressured by the palm industry to deforest their land and grow palm. Instead, they are supported to grow coconut in biodiversity friendly ways. They also have a number of wildlife support programmes, including protecting the spawning area of marine turtles.

We do not test our products on animals and we only purchase ingredients from suppliers who are not in any way involved in animal testing. Not only we do not support such practices but also each year through the LUSH Prize of 250,000 British pounds we reward initiatives across science and campaigning that work to end or replace animal testing with alternative testing methods.
