Lush filter: discontinued product ID

July 27, 2015 7:11 AM

Can anyone identify these ancient Lush products?

Here are the ancient products in question. The one on the left is grey speckled with a probably cocoa butter layer on top, the one on the right is curiously light, pale blue with a green waxy layer. Can't tell you how they smell unfortunately. I could just rub them on me in the bath and call it a day but would like to know what they were supposed to do.
(am not Lush shill in anyway, just slightly obsessed)

Best answer: They are both soaps. The one on the left is a sandstoney one, I think, and I remember it being very exfoliating. The right one is I think a lentil one, supposed to be very calming.

Best answer: If you already haven't, your best bet might be to contact their customer service to tap into some collective LUSH consiousness.

If it has wax, that'd be Demon in the Dark.

Call your local Lush store or call customer service. Someone will immediately know what they are-- either an old timer in the store or someone with access to back catalogs.

Yes, but Demon in the Dark was a dark black soap with lighter green chunks- not pale blue. And the wax was black. If that's a chunk of DIND that has faded to that extent I would not use it.

Answered by Ms Vegetable. Absolutely positively soap. Both of them.

Gentle Lentil is the bleu cheese looking one.
