Lush has reported a bumper financial year in 2025 with increased sales and a stabilisation of pre-tax loss, despite taking a hit from a surge in cocoa ingredient prices.
The group’s turnover amounted to £736.2m for the year ended 30 June 2025, and on a like-for-like basis, turnover increased by 8%, reflecting 7% growth in retail stores and 13% across digital platforms.

My latest reason to run over to Lush: limited edition Marmalade Body Wash. "We daresay you’ll be wanting some marmalade … Well, the good news is this Paddington™ x Lush body wash contains all the oranges a bear could ever want, with orange peel, juice, oil and even orange blossom honey water. As well as putting the whole fruit in, this body wash comes with a wonderfully hydrating lather" (100g or 240g tubs, $15-$30). Also new and lemmable, Banoffee Pie Shower Gel: "Gooey, caramel-sweet and better than a slice of the real thing — not a soggy bottom in sight! Indulgent tonka and vanilla serve up all the decadence of the popular British banana toffee dessert, while 5% banana adds a skin-softening sweetness that you’ll simply go bananas for" (3 sizes, $11.50 - $36).
Spring is coming! From Lush, Sakura shower gel: "Welcome a rush of cherry blossoms into your shower as you envelop yourself in the delicate florals of jasmine and mimosa absolutes. Inspired by the enchanting displays of falling cherry blossoms in Japan, envision dream-like swirls of petals fluttering around you, as you indulge in this freshly floral experience". In the usual sizes, limited edition, $12.50 - $40, at Lush USA.
The latest Lush Club drop includes six solid perfumes: Sticky Dates (my pick), Super Milk, Let The Good Times Roll, Turmeric Latte, 29 High Street and Milky Bath. $18 each for 11g at Lush USA (where, by the way, a few of the scents from the November drop are on mark down).
A Year of the Horse gift set from Lush: the citrus-forward Prance and Prosper duo. "Welcome in the Lunar New Year with two bright and bold products to keep your fire burning. Soak in the uplifting scent of Gallop To Success Bath Bomb as it spreads luck and prosperity across your bathtub. Then celebrate with Sunrise Shower Gel to greet the new year and all the vibrant energy it brings." $22 at Lush USA.
