Charity pot body lotion

Lush are a brand who not only refuse to test on animals or use ingredients provided by animal-testing companies - they also promote charities who are kind to animals, and raise tons of money for good causes by selling certain products that give 100 percent of profits to charity.

One of these products is Charity pot lotion, a light and beautifully scented cream in their permanent range.

Charity pot is sold in several size tubs, from the £1 sampler tub, which is ideal for a handbag essential or maybe a stocking filler, to bigger sized tubs for those who want to stock up. Each tub (apart from the sample sized one) has a sticker on the top, which shows you which specific charity will receive the money after you have paid for it. The charity receives 100 percent of the profits, apart from V.A.T.

When you unscrew the tub, you can smell the delicious aroma of the lotion right away. It smells like roses with an underlying chocolatey cocoa aroma from the shea butter contained in the lotion. It reminds me of fry's turkish delight bars, and smells good enough to eat. I imagine fans of Rose jam bubbleroon and shower gel would enjoy this scent.


Because this isn't a thick lotion, it is easily absorbed when applied to your skin, and makes an ideal face moisturiser for under your makeup, as well as a great body moisturiser for any skin type. It leaves no greasy residue and you are able to get dressed immediately after applying, instead of waiting around for 10-15 minutes such as when you use a massage bar, for example.

The scent lingers on your skin, although it doesn't clash if you choose to apply perfume afterwards.

Overall, I am pleased with this lotion, and it ranks as one of the top liquid lotions I have tried from Lush. I recommend it to everyone, especially those who are new to Lush and interested in trying one of their lotions but aren't sure which to go for.
