Lush Black Friday: Limited-Edition Orangutan Soap Funds Sumatran Wildlife Protection

Lush transforms Black Friday into a tradition of limited-edition products that drive meaningful change. In 2016, the brand released the 'Error 404' bath bomb to support digital rights campaigns. This year, Lush returns to its core commitment to animal welfare, partnering with the Sumatran Orangutan Society (SOS) to safeguard orangutans and Sumatra's vital rainforests.

One Soap for Every Wild Orangutan

Expertly crafted with extra-virgin coconut oil from Nias Island off Sumatra, this Orangutan soap boasts a captivating patchouli and orange fragrance. Shaped like the majestic primate itself, it's priced at €9.50 and available starting November 24, 2017. Only 14,600 bars will be produced—precisely matching the estimated population of wild Sumatran orangutans. This critically endangered species teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation. All proceeds (minus VAT) support SOS and its local partner, the Orangutan Information Center (OIC), in restoring pristine forests across the region.

For a cause this vital, treating yourself has never felt better.
