Cosmetics is simultaneously one of the largest, and one of the most polluting, industries in the world. But Lush doesn't believe good quality beauty products have to have such a damaging impact on the environment.
Instead, it sets itself apart by producing all-natural, and ethically sourced cosmetics. All of its products are handmade, vegetarian, and are not tested on animals, whilst still doing good to users' skin.
With this approach, Lush is aiming to make sure that cosmetics and environmental sustainability are not mutually exclusive, helping to revolutionise the hundreds-of-billions-sized cosmetics industry.

Since joining Lush I've been able to build good software and write robust, well-designed, and well-tested code that's driven as much by what the codebase required as much as what the product team needed.

I've made some good friends at Lush, we enjoy friendly comms between all the people, and there's always room for chat and fun outside of the working stuff. Remote makes culture a bit harder but Lush tries its best.

Nice people
Sep 2022
I work with a group of people from all sorts of backgrounds. Prior experience and thoughtful actions are valued over status. Plus, as it's Lush, there's always a good cause or a campaign to get behind especially around climate change and fighting animal testing.

Diversity is a priority

Everyone's opinion is valued and actioned whether its someone from management or a junior just joined the company. I think that's something not common in many companies!

Management is always supportive with any work related or personal problems and encourages everyone to take breaks away from work during lunch and coffee breaks and have social meetings with teams to talk about anything work and other non-work stuff

Supportive management

Lush has been really accommodating to meet the needs of me and my family. Being able to work part-time has made such a positive impact. Everyone is aware that people are more than just the work they do and that's reflected from leadership to the reset of the business.
