LUSH FRESH hANDMADE COSMETICS
introduction
Lush fresh handmade cosmetics are a premium brand of from UK. Lush makes effective products out of fresh
fruit and vegetables, the finest essential oils and safe synthetics, without animal ingredients.
LUSH makes effective products out of fresh fruit and vegetables, the finest essential oils and safe synthetics,
without animal ingredients. We believe in writing the quantitative ingredient list on the outside. Today we
have 580+ shops globally. We also operate mail order businesses from the UK, Canada, India, Australia, Italy,
Japan, Sweden, Hong Kong, Switzerland, Hungary, Germany, Taiwan and the United States. We hand-make our
cosmetics in UK, Italy, Canada, South America and Japan, in our own production facilities, so every product
available in the shops or sent to our customers by mail is as fresh as it can possibly be, because fresh products
work better and use fewer preservatives.
LUSH is firmly committed to a policy which not only precludes testing its products and ingredients on animals,
or engaging with third-party suppliers to do so on their behalf, but they also do not buy any ingredient from any
supplier that tests any of its materials on any animals for any purpose. This policy is unique in its field and is
pioneering a new way to stop animal tests for cosmetics
The LUSH aim is to have the youngest, freshest products in the history of cosmetics.
beliefs
NO ANIMAL TESTING:
Stopping all animal testing is something lush cares passionately about. We have worked towards this for
years and been at the forefront of the campaigns to prevent cruel, unnecessary testing. We believe tht there is
no way to justify testing cosmetics or any of their ingredients an animals. The only way to check that they are
safe for human is to test them on humans.
HANDMADE:
All products made at LUSH, are by hand. Ballistics and bars are individually hand moulded; the sops are
hand poured into moulds and hand cut. The fruit is freshly juiced. Bottles are hand filled and labeled with the
maker’s name. lush uses the finest Belgian chocolate in their massage bars.
FRESH: about lush : the company
They use preservatives in as few products as possible. Wherever possible, they use clever combinations of
ingredients to stabilize the products so that products have a natural shelf life. HISTORY:
They clearly mark when the products were made and when they should be used by. THE ORIGINAL incarnation of what is now lush was started in the 1970’s when mark Constantine, an herbal
trichologist, and Elizabeth Weir, who had an interest in beauty therapy formed a company named Constantine &
weir. They began to develop receipes for bath and beauty products with the intention of selling them to other
companies. The body shop, a UK based company founded in 1976 by ANITA RODDICK contracted Constantine

BUSINESS STRUCTURE:
INGREDIENTS:
LUSH LISTS THEIR PRODUCT ingredients in English as well as Japanese, French and many other languages,
and uses fruit, vegetables, other plant products, and safe synthetics. Many products are labeled with a use by date
and who made the product.
All lush products are vegetarian, and less than 30% contain animal products such as beeswax, honey, free range,
unfertilized eggs and lanolin. Lush uses minimal packaging (over 70% of their products contain no packaging at
all) ; the packaging that they do use is 100% recyclable and are made from used plastics and cardboard. Products
which contain no animal ingredients at all are marked as vegan in lush catalogs, on store displays, and on the
container itself.
Some lush products contain Paraben- based preservatives, the safety of which has been subject to recent
speculation. Lush uses methyl- and propyl- parabens, which have been used in food preservations and are made
of plant materials. Only the liquid products contain parabens, solid products have no preservatives contant as it

Shop Location and Layout Basic plan
Ground Level
FIXTURES and pop
The WALL FIXTURE are of two types. Both the wall fixtures have only two shelves, making it very clean
displays and going each display plenty of space so that the customer could see and browse through the products
in uncluttered manner.
The STAND ALONE FIXTURES are made for the butcher’s blocks of soaps and the unpacked products.
Lush uses Minimum Fixtures and No POP in its store, as it is a specialty store.
This gives the shop a very clean and efficient look. Even though an average sized store, one can easily see every
category of merchandise in the initial sweep of view even from the entrance, this helps the customer to locate the
required product at once.
graphics and Signages
ANALYSIS:
The Furniture throughout the store is made up of polished wood, going in theme with the “natural” theme of
Lush. Various different sized stools, tables, shelves, boxed etc are used to diplay the products.
Thus the organized, clean yet casual display of the merchandise make it very easy for the customer to browse
through. The fixtures are very easy on the customer and thus gives a comfortable and appealing vibe as soon as
the customer enters the store. When viewing the display with the combination of fixtures, the customer instantly
feels organised and a sophisticated aura of the store. Various Lush graphics used in the website, product catalogue and prmotional prints etc
Lush Logo
Graphics:
There are no graphics specifically in the store. Though in the catalogue, website and promotional prints, sketchy
and casual graphics are used, but that’s the entire limit of graphics.
Graphics and signages for Lush are very basic and sketchy in nature. Though graphics are used, it is in rare
occasions. And hences signages play a major role.
ANALYSIS:
Though initially the lack of graphics may look strange, but the signage and their plentiful use make up for it.
Still, the signage have now gone monotonous. They may be changed in order to give customer something new.
Signages:
Signage are extensively used throughout the showroom. And all these signages follow one simple design.
It is a simple design of white signage information printed on black base color board, often light weight sun
board. Be it for zoning signage, promotional signage, or product info signage; they all follow the same design.
The white font used is a specially developed ‘LUSH’ font.
While majority signage are stuck on fixtures and wall, in some cases of butcher’s block soaps’ light display
the small signage are fixed amidst the product only. Signages are extensively used to mark the different sectons
of the product merchandsing, to give informations about the ingredients, the suitability of skin types, costs and
often for punch lines, promotions and their “beliefs”.
SUGGESTIONS:
Though the lighting currently placed in the store gives a very ambient feel to the store, in our opinion the
window fixture needs more focus in terms of its specialty product. So task lights or spot lights can also be used
for these products to give the following effect.
Swivel Light Cabinet Light
• General light: for the entire store and specifically for the window fixtures and the upper shelves of
wall fixtures.
• Back light: for the wall fixtures and its lower shelves only.
• Cabinet light: only for the lighting the lower shelf products. Fixed at the base of upper shelf, they give
a unified lighting to the lower shelf products.
• Task light: for lighting the testers properly on the cabinets and giving them focus separately.
• Swivel lights: only two swivel lights, kept at two locations in the centre of the store, to highlight the
central fixtures of the new arrivals.
zoning
Zoning for the LUSH is very organized. As the zoning is very fixed for the major FIVE categories of cosmetics:
• Soap bricks
• Bath section
It gives a very organized appeal and sense of familiarity to the returning customers, while a thematic and
progressive impression to the new coming customers.
Unpacked JUST the specific products in these major categories are inter-changed periodically every month.
soap
bricks
new arrivals body care
section ANALYSIS AND SUGGESTION:
The zoning in the lush, like every other part of the store merchandising, is very logical and thematically organized
and zoned. Thus unifies the theme of the store and gives the customer a comfortable ambience.
As the fixtures for wall are fixed, even if zoning is changed, it wont really affect the overall feel of the zoning,
so there’s no real scope of changing the major zoning.

Lush’s football circulation is very straight and flowing in throughout the store, because of the unified, thematic
scheme of fixtures, signage and zoning.

In-Shop Product Display:
Apart from the Tables on the window Wall, the three walls of the store are fully covered with Fixed Two-shelves
wooden racks. On Each side of walls, an open slab with mirror is specially provided for testers. In a changing
cycle, there are proper segments for each category and groups of products, which are kept together for easy
browsing.
Due to natural quality and simplicity of its merchandise, Lush focuses on more open and simple display, both
for Window display and for merchandise Display. On Shelves, majorly the packaged and measured products are available.
Window Display:
This window space is used for the open display of the soap blocks.
They do not used any specific theme, lighting, props or anything
for the display. And hence the window display is combined with
product display.
Due to the window less window technique, they make use of the
interior display of the entire store, by attracting the customers with
the help of other aspects of the store display and merchandising.

Products: The products at the window wall are open and unpachaged, while the ones on the fixed sheleves
