How Lush makes its emoji bath bombs
Bath bombs are one of Lush's most popular products. To keep up with the trend of dating in 2019 while staying tongue-in-cheek, they released an emoji-inspired bath bomb collection. Here's a look into how they are made.
Following is a transcript of the video:
Narrator: We were able to get a peek inside one of the Lush factories to learn how these bath bombs, which take about 15 hours to make, are created. Lush is known for its assortment of organic body and hair products.
And one of its most popular products? You guessed it, the bath bombs, the fizzing bath treat filled with essential oils, a delicious scent, and fun colors to make bath time a luxurious experience.
Known to be a bit tongue-in-cheek with its products, Lush recently launched two bath bombs to mimic the peach and eggplant emojis.
Rachel: At Lush, we take inspiration from all kinds of places. So, we take that from music, movies, popular culture. This Valentine's Day, we wanted to create a range that was super fun and fresh and colorful, and that was inspired by emojis and kind of how they represent their own love language in 2019, in dating culture.
Narrator: First, the Peachy bath bomb is made by combining a color mix. A splash of peach juice is added in. A hefty amount of baking soda gets thrown into the mixer. The bath bomb's essential oils and coloring are all blended together. A hint of eco-friendly sparkle and more color is added to give the bath bomb a peachy glow.
To help give the bath bomb its bubbles and fizzing nature, bubble bar mix is incorporated. Then it's time for the bath bombs to be pressed together. An extra dousing of glitter is the finishing touch to Peachy. The bath bombs are then wrapped up and shipped to the store.
Fabiana: Hey guys, I'm here at the Lush store to check out their emoji-inspired bath bombs. I'm super excited. I heard so much about them. So, let's go check it out. Here it is in person. Now I know how it's made, all that goes into it, and to see this beauty in person...
Rachel: There it is.
Fabiana: Oh my gosh, this is so cute. It's honestly prettier than I could have imagined.
One of the reasons that I don't take too many baths is I easily get bored. It's nice. I feel relaxed after a few minutes, and I'm just like, OK, I'm kind of over this. I can't do anything. I'm just like, my hands are wet. I can't touch my phone. But this will honestly keep me entertained like a little kid.
