Fresh, handmade, and thoughtfully chosen: Christmas gifting with Lush

Danie Valdepeñas and daughter Daena at the launch of Lush Christmas 2026 Lush Christmas 2026 brings back Snow Fairy, with a sweet new festive line-up. There’s a distinctly sweet thread running through this Christmas collection: cheesecake-scented body butters, chocolate orange shower gels, and the familiar bubblegum-and-candyfloss scent of Snow Fairy. Alongside them are Santa soaps, candy cane candles, and classic Christmas characters, with handmade cosmetics and the stories behind them at the heart of the range.

The collection has just launched, with the range available in-store and online. It spans massage bars, gift sets, fresh face masks, handmade fragrances, and festive bath, shower, lip, and body care.

Beyond the seasonal scents and shapes, Lush places the focus on fresh ingredients, small batches, and products made by hand. Its Christmas message also puts ingredient sourcing, packaging choices, and knowing who made each product into the gift-giving conversation.

First launched in 2005, Snow Fairy returns this Christmas in 20 different product types, including a new packaging-free shower gel.

Its bubblegum-and-candyfloss sweetness has become a holiday staple for the brand. In 2025 alone, Lush Manufacturing produced 5,512,201 Snow Fairy products globally.

This year, that familiar scent sits alongside a festive range that moves between gourmand-inspired fragrances, warming spice, and cheerful citrus.

Lush describes itself as a high street destination for bath bombs for 30 years. The story of the product goes back to 1989, when co-founder and product inventor Mo Constantine invented the bath bomb in her garden shed.

Each Lush bath bomb is handmade, making every one unique, with ingredients the brand describes as skin-loving and responsibly sourced from around the world. More than 11,978,214 bath bombs left its UK manufacturing operation in 2025.

There’s playfulness in the bubble range, too: a Christmas wreath to blow bubbles through, candy-scented foam, and a cool, calming Arctic-inspired escape. Lush made more than 4.6 million bubble bars in the UK last year.

The shower and soap collection brings together comforting cinnamon, bright citrus, and chocolate orange scents, along with an existing year-round favorite now offered without packaging.

Phem Baranda and daughter IllySanta soaps are part of the seasonal selection, and Lush is introducing new soaps as stocking fillers. The brand produced 12,000 kilograms of Snow Fairy soap last Christmas.

Packaging-free products are one part of the collection’s broader approach to everyday cosmetics, with both new festive scents and familiar favorites appearing in the shower range.

Lush’s new lip scrubs, butters, and jelly masks use fresh, seasonal ingredients. The range includes nourishing, glossy formulas designed to address dryness and leave lips soft and smooth.

Every lip product is hand-blended in Dorset, England, using natural ingredients that Lush says are ethically sourced.

The fragrance selection moves from cosy, spiced perfumes to warm, nostalgic body sprays. Lush’s in-house perfumers craft the scents using specially selected essential oils.

Gourmand fragrances are part of this story, too. Lush made 347,411 Let The Good Times Roll body sprays last year, a figure the brand shares alongside this season’s fragrance offering.

For body care, the festive line-up includes rich, gourmand-scented moisturizers for soft, radiant skin, followed by fairy powder for a shimmering, frosted finish.

Lush’s Christmas message extends to how its products are made, who makes them, and where their ingredients come from. The brand highlights ethical supply chains, transparency, skincare made for the microbiome, and ingredients chosen with consideration for skin, scent, and forests in Indonesia.

According to Lush, it works with ethical suppliers who grow ingredients that regenerate ecosystems. It also funds artists, makes products by hand and to order, pays the Living Wage, and uses plastic recovered from oceans to make shower gel bottles.

Lush Philippines Team: Lizah Lazaro, Ina Santos, Stephanie Galeos, Ida Nones, and Kesh TatlonghariThe brand reports raising £100 million for grassroots charities that protect people, animals, and the environment. It also highlights recycled, regenerative, and recyclable packaging, alongside its packaging-free innovations and a scheme that lets customers return pots for points.

The Christmas offering includes pre-wrapped gifts, click-and-collect, instant e-gift vouchers, and advice from Lush’s shop team.

Across the collection, the festive details range from candy cane candles and Santa soaps to handmade fragrances and massage bars. Snow Fairy brings its familiar sweetness, while cheesecake, chocolate orange, cinnamon, and citrus add their own scents to this year’s Christmas range.
