Hey everyone!
Welcome to a brand new blog post. I thought that today I would talk to you all about the brand new Lush Hanukkah 2025 Range.
The Lush Hanukkah 2025 range has been made in collaboration with Jewish Lush staff members across the globe who also celebrate Hanukkah so they can input the creators of products at Lush with their thoughts and experiences of Hanukkah over the years and what it means to them to put out products out into the world and beauty industry that showcase their culture.
Sufganiyah Body Scrub (from £11)
Ingredients:
Caster Sugar, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Almond Oil, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Perfume, Almond Essential Oil, Carob Resinoid, Vanilla Absolute, Davana Oil, Sicilian Lemon Oil, Lactic Acid, Titanium Dioxide, Lauryl Betaine, Benzyl Alcohol, Limonene, Colour 45410:1, Colour 17200.
Sufganiyah are jelly doughnuts that eaten throughout the period of Hanukkah. The oil that is used to fry these doughnuts is used to make these pillowy soft delights symbolises the miracle of the oil lasting the eight days of Hanukkah.
Sufganiyah Body Scrub contains Caster Sugar and Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil and Almond Oil. The Caster Sugar helps to scrub away dead skin without irritating the skin too much from not being too harsh whilst the trio of oils helps to ensure that the skin is soft and nourished.
I enjoy all of the scrubs from Lush. My skin is unpredictable all year round so I know that as long as I have at least one Lush Body Scrub on the go then I know that my skin will be fine. I do love the Salt Body Scrub from Lush such as Orange but sometimes especially in the colder months all I want in my self care pamper routine is a gorgeously soft Sugar Scrub just like what Sufganiyah is. I love how you can scoop your desired amount, work into a lather, rinse and feel like your skin has been cleansed and nourished in one and Sufganiyah is no different!
Sufganiyah Body Scrub has a mixture of two scents from Lush. Cookie Dough and Raspberry Soap. The Almond Essential Oil, Carob Resinoid and Vanilla Absolute blend together to create a gorgeous creamy Cookie Dough fragrance with a nutty undertone to it due to the addition of Almond essential Oil whilst Davana Oil and Sicilian Lemon Oil blend together to create a gorgeous punchy Raspberry fragrance. When these two stellar fragrances become one, it creates a truly ultimate gorgeous fragrance. I guess the best way to describe it is to imagine the ultimate Raspberry Ripple Ice cream or a super fresh yet luxurious Raspberry Cheesecake and times it by ten. If you're a fan of anything fruity but still love gourmand fragrances then honestly go get to a Lush store and grab this beautiful body scrub and give it a sniff as think you will love it.
I Go give this beauty a sniff, try it out in store, grab it for yourself or gift it to anyone who adores fruity scents. Do all of the things! If you are wondering how to use this in regards to the Winter months as you think it's more of a Summer scent that I. Suggest pairing this with something like Posh Chocolate Shower Gel to create a beautiful Chocolate Raspbwrry scent that will make you think of a lavish and luxurious dessert that stands proud in the centre of the table on Christmas Day evening for everyone to enjoy.
Menorah Melt Lush Melt (£8)
Ingredients:
Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Illipe Butter, Cetearyl Olivate & Sorbitan Olivate, PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Polysorbate 20, Silica, Glyceryl Stearate, Kokum Butter, Organic Shea Butter, Perfume, Almond Oil, West Timor Sandalwood Oil, Olibanum Oil, Guaiacwood Oil, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Titanium Dioxide, Water (Aqua), Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Propylene Glycol, Tin Oxide, Calcium Sodium Borosilicate, Benzyl Alcohol, Coumarin, Farnesol, Geraniol, Hydroxycitronellal, Limonene, Linalool, Colour 77007, Colour 42090:2, Colour 42090, Colour 77491, Colour 60725.
If you haven't used a Lush Melt from Lush then let me tell you all about them. Lush Melts from Lush are quite multipurpose. You can use them on your personal wax burner to scent the home with a beautiful fragrance from Lush that can help you to relax after a long day or help to uplift you when you're feeling unwell. You can also use them in the bath to create a luxurious self care experience. All of Lush's Lush Melts contain a beautiful base of butters that melt in the bath alongside a beautiful array of essential oils that scent the bath. As the base of the melts are butters and oils (Olive Oil, Shea Butter and Kokum Butter just to name a few) they all melt beautifully in the water and nourish the skin so if you want something luxurious that can help to moisturise the skin especially now that the colder months are kicking in but aren't feeling a bath bomb then these Lush Melts may be for you!
Menorah Melt is slightly bigger than the other Lush Melts at Lush as Menorah contains eight individual pieces that can be snapped off the Lush Melt bar which then can be used to burn or bathe in each day of Hanukkah.
Menorah Malt contains Almond Oil, West Timor Sandalwood Oil, Olibanum Oil and Guaiacwood Oil which all melt together to create a fresh woody scent with a touch of creaminess in the background. If you are a fan of the Shade fragrance from Lush then you will cherish Menorah Melt as it shares the same scent.
I quite like the Shade fragrance from Lush on my skin and I quite like the scent of Menorah Melt but to me there's a bit of a strange aquatic scent when I smelt this melt on store which I was a bit confused by but I think that this would be a perfect product to burn during the colder months or for when you're having a festive themed party.
I also love the fact that you get eight squares to snap off for each day of Hanukkah. I also think that this would make for an amazing little gift for someone as it gives them the choice of either using square for a bath or to scent the home with.
Shamash Bubble Bar (£8)
Ingredients:
Sodium Bicarbonate, Cream of Tartar, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Lauryl Betaine, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Cornstarch, Perfume, Cinnamon Leaf Oil, Brazilian Orange Oil, Almond Essential Oil, Clove Bud Oil, Titanium Dioxide, Organic Carnauba Wax, Gardenia Extract, Laureth 4, Sodium Coco Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Silica, Tin Oxide, Benzyl Benzoate, Cinnamal, *Eugenol, Limonene, Linalool, Colour 77491, Colour 19140, Colour 15510.
Shamash is a Yiddish word for helper and also refers to the central candle in the Menorah.
Shamash Bubble Bar is a two in one product as it contains a Bubble Bar base with a Bath Melt top.
Shamash Bubble Bar contains Cinnamon Leaf, Almond, Brazilian Orange and Clove Bud Oils which blend together to create a gorgeous spicy scent with a slightly sweet edge to it with a citrus undertone from the Orange. If you're a fan of the Cinders scent from Lush which is available at the moment in a Candle format (which I need to grab one of) then you'll enjoy Shamash Bubble Bar as they both smell quite similar.
I quite like how the Bubble Bar also has a bath Melt on the top as not only does it represent the flame on the top of the Candles in the Menorah but also helps the nourish the skin and makes the price of the Bubble Bar feel even better. As Shamash contains a Bath Melt that contains Cocoa Butter which will help to nourish the skin during the cold months alongside having a spicy fragrance that will help to make you feel warm and cosy.
I have recently used Shamash and I absolutely adore it. I am a sucker for anything that is spicy. When I crumbled this product onto the bottom of my tub before running it, I could already smell the shady aroma of Cinnamon and Almond which created a gorgeous spicy scent with a touch of nutty sweetness to it. When the bath was ran and I was enjoying it I was noticing a touch more of the citrus notes that were coming from the Brazilian Orange and that touch of deep smokiness that comes from Clove Bud. I also whacked the melt in because I had a bad day and wanted a bit of soothing and nourishment as my skins already been going through it alongside my mental health at the moment and the melt added a deep dimension to the bathing experience. Not only did it provide nourishment to my dry skin but also added an element of luxury to the bath. I noticed a bit more slickness from the Clove Bud in the Bath Melt and I honestly enjoyed watching it melt into the bubbles that had been created from the Bubble Bar.
I think that this would be amazing for when you've just come in from a long day or pre/post going to the local Christmas Markets as it does have a element of Christmas Markets to it due to the spices and citrus fruit that are running throughout this Bath product. I think that it would also be an amazing way to spend the end of the Haukkah period and go out with a self care pamper.
Brightness Within Gift Set (£23)
Letting the brightness within will be the only way you shine!
Alongside these three products that make up the most of the Lush Hanukkah 2025 Range, Lush have also released two other products which includes a great Gift Set.
Brightness Within Gift Set is inspired by celebrating the brightness within yourself during the Hanukkah period.
Brightness Within features a beautiful yet playful design. This design celebrates the many elements of Hanukkah and was designed by artist Noa Snir who is based in Berlin, Germany. Noa uses colour and humour to create playful, relatable imagery. On the Lush website, for the description of this Gift Set there is a quote from Noa. Noa says, “In my design, I wanted to show the fun, warm, beautiful, plentiful aspects of this holiday. For me, it is truly a celebration of community; of finding reasons together to be joyous and brighten up each other's days in the darkest time of the year.”
This Gift Set contains a small bottle of Posh Chocolate Shower Gel and a small tub of the brand new Sufganiyah Body scrub to represent the Chocolate Gelt's and the Sufganiyah's that are both enjoyed during the Hanukkah holiday period. Furthermor ,you can use either of these to help start your day up or to relax and give yourself a gorgeous pamper after a long day or you can combine the two products together to create a super gorgeous self care routine that is full of gourmand goodness with a slightly raspberry fruity kick.
I think that if you have anyone in your life who loves anything Gourmand orientated then this would make for an amazing gift or for anyone who would love just a perk up or a self care session this Winter season. I am very much tempted to grab this for myself to perk myself up. I adore the Posh chocolate scent and have been enjoying the Sufgniyah scent and the tub in this would be perfect to go into my travel bag.
The Eighth Flame Knot Wrap (£7)
This Knot Wrap is fire!
Have you purchased or used a Knot Wrap from Iush before? They can be used for almost anything and everything! Lush knot Wraps are made from recycled materials and can be used for a multitude of purposes. Whether it be as a great fashion accessory, as a little bag for some goodies that you have recently bought or as an amazing alternative to wrapping paper for someone's gift or your own gift to yourself this Hanukkah. (We all need to treat ourselves as well as others this giving season!)
This knot wrap is made by the wonderful Noa who has helped to design the Gift Set in this range too and focuses on the candles burning in the menorah and letting the brightness in.
I think that this could be a great way to gift some items up in for Hanukkah and gives whoever you gift it to the option to reuse it via having it as a bandana, tablecloth etc or go into Lush and trade it in for a new Knot Wrap under their Knot Wrap scheme.
Have you checked out any of the Lush Hanukkah 2025 Range? Have you tried out the Sifganiyah Body Scrub? What are your thoughts on Gourmand fragrances? Let me know!
Thanks for reading!
