The local beauty community is quacking now that cult beauty brand, LUSH have opened their first store in the country two days ago at Pavilion, Kuala Lumpur–no need to tumpang travelling friends to get them for you anymore!

If you’re wondering why people are going gaga over this brand, well, LUSH use high quality natural products that are hand-made. Unlike major cosmetic brands of yesteryear that try to pass themselves off as ethical businesses, LUSH have a ‘no animal testing’ policy and actually supports activism for various causes ranging from human rights to environmental issues. Plus, there’s a little cute cartoon portrait of the person who made each product on their packaging.

LUSH is super-vocal on their responsibilities like sourcing, sustainability, minimal waste, and no animal testing. All of their packaging are either recyclable, compostable, or biodegradable.

For women looking to cut down on synthetics, this is a no brainer… Those bath bombs aren’t just pretty, friends–they leave you feeling soft and smooth too. But despite being unisex, LUSH can be intimidating for men. The sweet smells and bright colours may look like they are catered towards women, but just because the products don’t have a ‘For Men’ label on the front, doesn’t mean they can’t be used by men too. Heck, they even have facial soap for beards!

So when your girlfriend drags you into the LUSH store, which will eventually happen sometime before Christmas or sooner, maybe find something for yourself too.

Here are our top recommended LUSH items for men:
