About the Lush x Shrek collection:
Just like onions, this collection has layers. Inspired by Shrek‘s journey from a self-loathing to a self-accepting ogre, the range aims to bring joy and Shrek‘s irreverent humour to the worlds of beauty and wellbeing – showing that there is no one way to be beautiful and feel good – wellness can be a swampy ogre bath too!
The new, limited-edition collection features Get Out Of My Swamp shower slime, Shrek Swamp bath bomb and Fiona shower gel, complete with new and exclusive fragrances, as well as returning favourite scents for Gingy and Donkey bubble bars.
The Fiona shower gel has a light, fresh and fruity scent of lime and green grass, featuring lime, pine and buchu oils and mango leaf absolute, while Shrek Swamp is scented with rich, deep chocolate mixed with a refreshing, minty and spicy top note thanks to peppermint, pink pepper and vanilla.
Lush’s best selling Mask of Magnaminty face and body mask, fondly referred to as ‘Shrek Pack’ by customers in South Korea for its ogre-like green hue, will also be donning a special Shrek label to celebrate the collaboration. With over 1,000 five-star reviews on the Lush website, the mask is a customer favourite worldwide for those with oily, acne prone skin.

This fruity shower gel is housed in recycled plastic harvested from the coastlines of Bali, Indonesia. Due to local infrastructures overwhelmed by tourism, the scale of waste management isn’t equipped to process the growing amount of plastic waste, posing a significant risk to wildlife, so instead this plastic is collected and recycled for reuse.
