LUSH
Read moreSince October 2012, this new English cosmetics brand has been a hit in Le Mans. Its particularity? Handmade products made from fresh fruit with funny names. From the first step in this small shop, where you will be very pleasantly welcomed by Linda Bignon the manager, a fruity scent will intoxicate you. Let yourself be tempted by the bath balls or by the New, Godiva shampoo pebbles. Even at 8 euros per 55 g, the investment is worth it, because a shampoo roller is equivalent to 80 washes and this, without packaging: a good point for the planet. Lush does not stop there in terms of activism: no product is tested on animals and the gift wrap is a "furoshiki" (scarf) created from recycled water bottles. Enough to seduce the coquettes concerned about the fate of the planet.
