Lush Claddagh Pine and Fir Soap

Gallúnach mhaith, leath na hoibre: A good soap is half the work. A delicate base of coconut, rice bran and rapeseed, infused with herbaceous pine and fir needle absolute this heartwarming gift celebrates love, loyalty and friendship while caring for their skin.

Co-Create is a product creation programme for Lush staff, aiming to promote diversity, inclusion, equity and belonging by lifting up authentic stories from respective communities. Co-creator Carrie Mullan from Lush Belfast shares their inspiration for this St. Patrick's Day product: There's a superstition about buying Claddagh rings, where you can't buy your own, (although buying it for yourself could be seen as an act of self love!) so the idea that people could buy it and gift it to someone they love is heartwarming. My parents met on St Patrick's Day, and use the Claddagh as a representation of their relationship, using it as their wedding rings. It ties them to their love, to each other, and their Irish heritage which I'm sure many people will be able to relate to.

What's in it for you?

• This soap's heartwarming design is finished carefully by hand with a brush of glistening red lustre in the centre. Finished with love and attention, it's the perfect gift for your special someone.
• Our proper soap is proper lovely and made the old-fashioned way by saponification. We mix it by hand, adding in beautiful ingredients for their effects, pour it hot and let it cure before it takes pride of place by your sink. This is a blend of three soap bases, our in-house coconut and rice bran soap bases, with a coconut and rapeseed drury base to create a firm, bubbly soap with creamy, silky suds.

This product needs no packaging and no introduction. It will arrive naked and proud in your parcel because we want to strip back on unnecessary packaging.
