Attention vegans and fans of face masks: Lush is removing all eggs from their offerings.

That’s right, from today onwards, Lush will be egg-free.

If you didn’t know, a bunch of Lush’s face masks and hair treatments previously contained eggs, including their Brazened Honey mask and D’Fluff.

Lush had previously used free range eggs only, but the brand has made the decision to go entirely egg-free to avoid animal suffering.


Lush said: ‘Lush has always used free range eggs and gradually tried to go beyond just free range and switch to supplies that met and exceeded the organic free-range criteria.



‘Over the years the Buying team has visited many free-range chicken farms to see the chickens and check the standards.

‘What has become clear during this process is that there are some hard truths of egg production that are difficult to face up to – and which are almost impossible for the egg industry to show to company buyers or consumers of eggs.

‘We can visit the hens and see them living freely and eating good quality organic food, but what we cannot see, or film to show our customers, is the process before those hens arrive at the organic, free range farm.

‘The hatching of millions of eggs at commercial hatcheries, the sorting of the chicks into female to be sent on to farms to lay eggs and the male chicks to go straight to their deaths by methods so brutal that it would be impossible to present on our website.

‘We can no longer, in good conscience, use an ingredient that we are unable to be transparent about because the truth is so unpalatable.

‘The only solution therefore was to work to reformulate our products to take eggs out.

‘We are now at a stage where we can announced that we are ready to switch production to these new formulations and from now on Lush products will be completely egg-free.’

Lush will be replacing eggs with ingredients such as chickpea aquafaba, tofu, soya yoghurt, and wheat gluten, so that the product quality will remain the same.

But proceed with caution, plant-based pals, as this doesn’t mean all Lush products are entirely vegan.

Many items still contain honey or lanolin, which some people following a vegan lifestyle refuse to consume or use.

D’Fluff, however, is now vegan following the removal of eggs.

It’s also worth noting that while products bought online will all be egg-free, some of the items in stores will be older versions until they’re all sold out – so double check the ingredients list before you stock up.
