Ginvera Green Tea Whitening Marvel Gel is the Zero Blackheads Gel, the number 1 selling exfoliator in Asia for 16 years.

- Removes blackheads thoroughly and painlessly in just one step.
- Softens the cornified layer and gently removes the dead skin barrier to instantly reveal a brighter finer complexion
- Regulates and controls sebum secretion for a shine-free complexion whole day long
- Whitens and evens out skin tone. Helps fade pigmentation, spots and acne scars over time effectively
- Deeply cleanses pores and helps prevent the onset of skin problems like pimples and blemishes
- Stimulates skin metabolism, skin looks younger and suppler

How Marvel Gel works :

The skin undergoes metabolism and results in the build up of dead skin barrier on daily basis. Exposure to pollution and dirt everyday, together with the improper removal of makeup and excess sebum will also cause the pores on your skin to be clogged up and result in the formation of whiteheads and stubborn blackheads. In other cases, bacteria infection might also cause inflammation of the skin, leading to skin problems like pimples and acnes. The dead skin cells barrier also obstructs the absorption of skincare products applied subsequently, putting them to waste. Moreover, your makeup would not be able to glide on smoothly and might even appear cakey.
Thus it is important to remove the dead skin barrier daily for a healthy glowing complexion free from blackheads !

Since its first launch 25 years ago, the Ginvera Green Tea Skincare series has remained popular in the Asia market with its highly effective products. Originating in Singapore, this complete skincare series
is now available in the UK.
The series contains Green Tea extract as its main ingredient, enhanced with soybean extract and herbal ingredients to restore skins luminance and clarity the natural way.

Green Tea, with its cocktail of potent antioxidants called catechins, exists as a powerful natural anti-oxidant (one cup of green tea contains approx. 200 milligrams of catechins, which equals to almost 8 apples!) About half of catechins found inside Green Tea are EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), which has been found to be twice as powerful as resveratrol, an antioxidant found in red wine.
The Green Tea Extract therefore has 20X more anti-oxidant power as compared to Vitamin C, providing superior protection against harmful UV rays and reducing UV-related photo-ageing which is mainly responsible for most signs of premature aging. Vitamin E, one of the main vitamins found in Green Tea, is also known for its ability to help skin retain moisture to slow down the signs of aging and for its
anti-bacterial and astringent qualities.

The skincare series includes cleanser, toner, moisturiser as well as the best selling Ginvera Green Tea Marvel Gel and Nude Cover BB Cream. There is a real buzz around these amazing skincare products and feedback from the beauty blogging community puts these products in the must have category for any
beauty regime.

What the UK beauty world is saying about Ginvera Marvel Gel and BB Cream Marvel Gel “this is an amazing product, which actually does what it promises – and it promises a lot! The most I probably like the softening effect on my skin and that other skin care products seem to work much better after I use this!” Cityscape-Bliss Blog

BB cream Whilst my feelings about UK BB Creams are mixed as there are some I love and some I’m not sure on, I can confidently say that this is my favourite to land on UK shores so far. Beautygeek Blog

FUSHI WELLBEING ROSEHIP SEED OIL

rehydrate and nourish the skin
was suitable for all skin types from the driest to oily, even to sensitive
has a slew of attributes from helping reduce pore size to helping repair damage to addressing eczema and dermatitis
No prizes for guessing that youd be the first to try to get hold of it. So, what is this miracle ingredient?

Rosehip Seed Oil

Harvested from the seeds of the wild rose and one of natures most beneficial oils, rosehip seed oil is rich in antioxidant vitamins A, C and E also exceptionally emollient – as well as high levels of the essential fatty acids to nourish, rejuvenate and regenerate the skin at the deepest levels. And, whats more, light and easily absorbed, it can be used topically on the face and body especially on areas where skin is driest, or damaged, or taken as part of your diet to help the body utilise its benefits at a cellular level.

Organic Virgin Rosehip Seed Oil (19.95 for 150 ml)

In winter, when the skin is compromised by the changes in temperature going from hot to cold, rosehip seed oil rebalances the loss of moisture. Used over time, rosehip is reported to have a beneficial role to play in repairing the signs of aging such as fine lines, age spots, lack of elasticity and sun damage. It can help, too, in the reduction of scarring and skin conditioners such as dermatitis.

Directions – apply externally to affected area twice daily. If you prefer creamy textures, use Fushi Rosehip Seed Oil instead of your night cream when the bodys natural reparative and regenerative activity is at its peak.

At LUSH Fresh Handmade Cosmetics, caring about the environment is one of our top priorities. We have a dedicated team who work hard to reduce our waste, carbon, energy and water consumption, as well as people throughout the factory and shops working hard to implement this.

Not content with all of this, from 6th – 15th February 2012, Lush staff themselves will be building the first industrial straw bale cold room used in Europe!
Once complete, the cold room will be used to store and cool our fresh creams, shower gels and other skincare products, shortly before they are filled and packed to go to our stores.

This groundbreaking project will be managed by Bee Rowan*, one of the most experienced straw builders in the UK. Final external measurements will be approximately 5m x 18m, and roughly 500 straw bales will have been used. There are six full time Lush staff working on the project, while another twenty staff will help for two days when the walls are being built.

We chose to build our cold room from English straw, resulting in much lower embedded carbon for this project. The straw is grown on a farm in Milton Keynes and is an agricultural waste product from grains production.

Dorset Hurdles, based locally in Wimborne, has provided the green wood to make the poles that pin the straw bales together before they are compressed. We sharpen them using a traditional wood shaving horse http://www.dorsethurdles.co.uk

This quality choice of construction material with high thermal performance, low cost and exceptionally light environmental footprint, using locally sourced materials and a build process doubling up as a team building, fun and upskilling event for staff, reflects the ethics of Lush and their commitment to both the environment, sustainable sourcing of materials – for this and their cosmetic products – and to the quality of the working enviroment for their staff.

Ruth Andrade, Head of Lushs Green Development, comments:
“Building a cold store for our factory out of straw bales is a visual representation of our values. We will be able to save energy while keeping our products fresh, we are using natural materials that are so much better for the environment and we can do all of that with the help of our own staff – training them as they help us build and hopefully developing in them a taste for eco building. We couldn’t be more proud.”

LUSH will be recording the construction process via a daily blog, time lapse photography and a short video, all of which will be available on our green hub on the Lush website at: https://www.lush.co.uk/our-values/the-green-hub

Argan Oil is one of the most promising, independent products of the cosmetic industry. But did you know that one can use it for more than just for effective skin care against wrinkles? This Moroccan miracle oil, as it is often called, contains 80% essential fatty acids (help against inflammations), as well as squalenes (skin softening), phytosterols (protects the collagen in the skin) and phenolic compounds (protection against free radicals), make it to a versatile beauty product, for those who prefer an ease to use and cost conscious daily beauty-care. But lets get to the point and talk about what 100% pure Argan oil from Morocco can do else for you. Read about 10 reasons why you should use Argan oil not included anti-aging, although this is also a feature it is well known for.

1. Soften dry and rough skin with Argan oil. Due to its rich content of essential fatty acids, even more than Shea-butter, the oil of the Argan tree is the perfect moisturizer for your face and hands and the whole body.

2. Avoid ugly stretch marks, by massaging the sensitive skin parts of thighs and belly with Argan oil in the morning and evening. The oil soaks in immediately, hydrating the sensitive skin parts, leaving them stretchy and smooth. After the Argan oil massage you will also notice, that the firming oil gets absorbed by the skin right away and does not leave any greasy residuals.

3. Make scars and stretch marks less visible by rubbing them with the natural Moroccan oil. Because of the extreme skin hydration and the subsequent increased elasticity and firmness, as well as through the cell regeneration effect of the Argan oil, small scars will disappear completely, larger ones wild become less visible. This also helps very well with acne scares in the face. The appearance of the skin will be smoothed and the skin will start looking healthy and glowing.

4. With Argan oil you can ensure a balanced sebum production of your skin. It might seem to be a contradiction, because generally one thinks that oil clogs the pores and that this way sebum production will be increased, which will lead to spots and pimples, but with Argan oil this is the contrary. By using Argan oil regularly, the sebum production of the skin will be normalized in a natural way. The skin relaxes and will be nourished optimally, clogged pores will be cleared and the skin can respire.

5. If you belong to those unhappy people who since many years suffer of painful eczema or neurodermatitis and psoriasis, then the 9 time higher vitamin E concentration of the Moroccan oil will bring you the long awaited relief already after a few applications The oil normalizes the skin by giving it the substances it needs so desperately to stay healthy, and it protects the skin from bad external influences and by subsiding itching. This way one can finally relax, the continuous itch will stop and the skin can regenerate and heal. At this point we would like to mention, that Argan oil can be applied on children without hesitation, as in contrary with other crmes and medicines against chronicle eczema and skin diseases, Argan oil has absolutely no negative side effects. Argan oil is a pure natural product, processed in tiresome manual work, when the oil is cold pressed from the seeds of the Argan fruit, without additional ingredients, 100% pure.

6. Callosity such as cuticles and corneas belong to the past, if Argan oil is applied regularly. Rub the affected skin parts on hands, elbows, and corneas generously with the healing oil and let it soak in overnight. The hard skin layers will get very soft and can then be removed easily and without any pain.

7. You suffer of dull and brittle hair with split ends, but you do not want to cut your beautiful hair either? Then you must try Argan oil for your hair care! Already after applying it for the very first time on your hair you will be totally enthusiastic and convinced. After washing your hair, rub a few drops of Argan oil between your hands and then massage it gently into the still damp hair, especially on your scalp, as the oil contains precious vitamins, which can be absorbed by the scalp directly and nourish the hair roots with all needed substances and thus give your hair optimal care. Also massage a very small amount of oil directly into the split ends. Your hair will be shiny again and already after only a few applications, it will look much healthier.

8. Dry and itchy scalp also does no longer need to be a problem. Argan oil used as a cure will help quickly. Gently massage some drops of Argan oil into your scalp, then cover your head with a towel and let the oil soak for 30 minutes, afterwards wash with a mild shampoo, as usual and finally rinse thoroughly with clear, lukewarm water. If possible, leave hair to dry in the air. When applying cures with 100%Argan oil regularly; you will no longer be bothered by dry scalp and dandruff.

9. Even your baby and your small kids will feel well with regular care with native Argan oil. Forget about sore points and skin irritations of sensitive baby skin. Argan oil is the purest and best oil in the world, without any additives, perfumes or other chemical substances simply the very best what you can do for delicate skin of children. Argan oil also protects skin against sun and helps to relief sunburn pain and heals the burned skin.

10. Use Argan oil internally. Argan oil is very well suited for culinary purposes, provides the body with the most important vitamins , keeps the cholesterol level low and as studied scientifically only recently, it is very effective for cancer and heart disease prevention. 3 table spoons a day are totally sufficient for optimal protection, in addition the light, nutty oil taste very good, is easy to digest and in the meantime 5* chefs around the world use it as an absolute insider tip on the same level as truffles, caviar and ostriches, a real delicacy, which is even good for you.
Argan oil is so precious, so valuable and so healthy. Once you start realizing what kind of a great all-rounder this fascinating, natural product from the Moroccan Atlantic Coast is, in the future one can easily renounce less useful cosmetics and less valuable edible oil. Give your body what it wants and likes. health, wellness, beauty and an intact immune system Argan oil for a better life.

Peppermint toothpaste is the norm but here at LUSH we challenge the norm and encourage our customers to think about the impacts of their beauty routine on the environment. Enter Toothy Tabs, LUSHs newest invention that takes conventional toothpaste and literally strips it down.

About one billion toothpaste tubes and dispensers in the U.S. are sent to landfills every year, many of which are recyclable.* The unnecessary tossing of tubes can easily be avoided by using LUSHs latest invention Toothy Tabs! A brand new, patented idea from LUSH, these solid tabs eradicate the need for both packaging and preservatives, and come in a handy 100% recycled box. Each pack contains 40 tabs, you simply pop one in your mouth, crush it a little and continue to brush as normal with your toothbrush and water.

Helen Ambrosen, LUSH Co-Founder and Inventor of the Toothy Tabs says, We use beautiful ingredients such as essential oils and fine spices, which is unique in the world of toothpastes. Toothy tabs create a foaming effect which people love, they give the mouth a squeaky clean feeling and a freshness that lasts and lasts.

Toothy Tabs have a mild base of sodium bicarbonate and cream of tartar, both ingredients found in commonly used baking powder. A gentle surfactant creates the foaming effect that helps dissolve the bacterial build up on your teeth, which you can get rid of completely by brushing. Sodium bicarbonate helps to thoroughly clean and whiten your teeth and the cream of tartar helps to make the solid form. Dicalcium phosphate is included to help polish the teeth, glycerine acts as a humectant while saccharin sweetens. Just one tab and your mouth will be left feeling fresh and clean all day long.

There are six flavours to choose from, created by head perfumer Simon Constantine and inspired by London-based molecular mixologist Paul Tvaroh, who created the drinkable perfumes at the LUSHs Gorilla Perfume galleries! The results is a collection of unusual and unique flavor combinations to entice you away from your tube and onto a tab. Simon Constantine says, I was really keen to take perfumery up a gear and be able to actually perfume someones breath wouldnt that be something?

Each tab uses the most beautiful natural ingredients and essential oils to freshen and perfume the breath, but also have antiseptic qualities used for years in dentistry. Only fresh, natural ingredients are used to clean the teeth beautifully, but each Toothy Tab offers something different from a mouth freshener to a palate cleanser.
