Hey everyone!
Welcome to a brand new blog post! I was kindly sent some of the upcoming Lush X Community Body Scrubs by the lovely Community Team at Lush and I thought that today I would talk to you all about them!
The Lush X Community Ranges are all about letting you, the Lush Community, choose scents that you would like to see in a specific product and this time it’s the turn of Body Scrubs. Lush have been releasing some amazing Body Scrubs in the past year such as Sticky Dates, Intergalactic and The Old Songs Are Waking just to name a few!
The Body Scrubs in the Lush X Community Body Scrubs 2025 Range all contain Caster Sugar which helps to exfoliate the skin and a plethora of butters and oils which help to nourish the skin because well 2025 is all about having soft and supple skin!
The scents featured in this Lush X Community Body Scrubs Range are Karma, Posh Chocolate, Creamy Candy, The Comforter and Botanomancy.
I was kindly sent the Botanomancy and The Comforter Body Scrubs.
Botanomancy Body Scrub contains Caster Sugar, Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Illipe Butter, Fair Trade Organic Mango Butter, Dark Sumatran Patchouli Oil, Ginger Oil, Pimento Berry Oil, Petitgrain Oil and West Timor Sandalwood Oil.
The blend of butters and oils such as Cocoa Butter and Olive Oil create a soft texture to the scrub that reminds me a bit of a firm marshmallow. I know that this may sound a bit weird but I’d say it’s squishy but firmer than the Body Wash Delights from Lush if you have tried them before. When I scooped some out of the tub, I noticed that I didn’t really have to put much pressure on the scrub to get some out of the tub. I massaged this into my skin and noticed that the sort of marshmallow like texture transformed into a luxurious creamy texture. I kept massaging this on my skin for a fair while because well I could feel how moisturising it was on my skin and I wanted to ensure that my skin was not only completely exfoliated but coated in the unique and rich scent of Botanomancy. (I was also having one of those days and just needed to take my time and really ensure that I pampered myself). I rinsed my body and noticed that my skin had transformed from feeling quite dry to soft and supple. (My skin has been going through it at the moment due to the weather in the UK right now especially parts of my body such as my arms that have felt quite rough and dry this past week).
Botanomancy shares the same scent as the 4:20pm Range at Lush. This range does contain CBD so sadly it does mean that some countries aren’t able to try out the range due to the laws in their countries. The best way to describe Botanomancy is imagine a spicy green scent and then multiply that by ten. The Patchouli and Ginger create a deep spicy scent whilst Petitgrain and Sandalwood add an element of a green woody note to the scent. I guess the best way to describe it is imagine the smell of burnt incense mixed with a forest. If you have tried Lord Of Misrule or Tramp from Lush and adored them then you will adore this.
The Comforter Body Scrub contains Caster Sugar, Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Organic Almond Oil, Bergamot Oil, Blackcurrant Absolute and Cypress Oil.
The scent of this Body Scrub is amazing. If you haven’t tried anything in The Comforter scent from Lush before then imagine a slightly creamy yet punchy Blackcurrant scent that just makes you feel soothed and well comforted… If you’ve not tried The Comforter from Lush then imagine the scent of Ribena but even better and in bathing form! A strong fruity Blackcurrant scent that makes you feel happy and nostalgic of when you were a child.
I opened the lid to this Scrub when I received it and instantly fell in love. Fruity yet slightly creamy in all the best ways possible. The smell of this body scrub instantly took me back to years ago when I fell in love with The Comforter scent when I first picked up a The Comforter Bubble Bar and a tub of Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly.
I scooped a little bit of this glorious body scrub out of the tub and massaged it into my skin. I noticed that the scent intensified whilst massaging it into my skin which made me fall in love with the scrub even more than I thought I could. Whilst massaging it into my skin, I also noticed that it lathered into a skin nourishing serum like texture that just glided over my skin. Like Botanomancy, I spent a couple of minutes just massaging and taking in the scent and realising that sometimes all you need is a The Comforter bath to make everything feel better. When I stepped out of the bath, I noticed that my skin felt quite smooth and soft. It felt quite nourished which I wasn’t expecting as I thought that the serum like lather may not be enough for my dry skin but it really was! To truly review the scrub, I decided to test this on my hand and in the bath on two different occasions, on both occasions I could smell the scent on my skin for quite a while after scrubbing it off. If you want to really treat yourself during the miserable Winter time that is happening right now then I’d suggest pairing this with either The Comforter Bubble Bar or the new Lovestruck Bath Bomb from the Valentines Day Range or if you’re wanting a quick shower to prep you for the day ahead you could pair it with Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly, The Comforter Shower Gel that are back at Lush as part of the Archive Wall or even Posh Chocolate Shower Gel for truly scrumptious shower experience alongside The Comforter Body Spray. Trust me, not only will any of the combos that I’ve listed help you feel like you can conquer the day ahead but you’ll be smelling like an utterly delightful snack!
All of the Body Scrubs in this Lush X Community Range are available in a 135g and a 290g tub and are available to purchase in stores, online and on the Lush App in the UK. If you’re based in America then you’ll be available to purchase these amazing scrubs from the 25th February. Please check your countries Lush App to check if these scrumptious scrubs are available to purchase.
