I’ve just been roasted by my 10yo son.
I’ve just said why don’t we get one of those bath bombs to go with mum’s Christmas presents.
He replied:
You’re a bath bomb dad,.. when you jump in all the water explodes out.

Hey, everyone! This is Jack Constantine, Product Inventor and Chief Digital Officer from Lush.
A bit about me… I was taught how to make bath bombs by my Mum, Mo Constantine. She invented them back in 1989, so that’s a pretty good education. I’ve done a bit of everything in the business, including designing gift packaging, filming one of our stunts outside European parliament (dropping tonnes of horse poo from a dumper truck to escalate the conversation around Animal Testing) right through to developing marketing campaigns to help celebrate #bathart.
You may have heard of our best-selling bath bomb, Intergalactic, that's one of the products I am most proud I invented and we sell up to 3.5 million a year. That's a lot of beautiful baths all over the world!
What inspires me...My children, innovation in tech and creative design.
As CDO of Lush, I take responsibility for how we navigate the digital landscape, ensuring we feel comfortable ethically as a business with the decisions we make online. We have a place online which celebrates everything which makes Lush a very special community over at https://weare.lush.com/,
We recently hit the news (and were trending on Reddit) when we decided to globally migrate from Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat & Tik Tok as a business.

Please keep those questions coming!

Interested in hearing everyone's favorite non bath bomb products, what is yours?
Does anyone know the frothiest bath bombs from Lush's main line? Recently I used You Shall Go To The Ball which I wasn't crazy about in terms of scent, but the milky froth it produced lasted so long and I just loved it! I don't recall any year round BBs I've used doing this. Is it just the first time I'm noticing??
I’m not a huge fan of glitter. I feel like it makes a mess and never really goes away. I want so badly to try a bath bomb but it seems all of them have some amount of glitter.
So I usually set my bath bomb or bubble bar on top of my drain then run water over top of it instead of adding the water first then putting it in. Is one way better than the other in terms of product disbursement in the tub?
Any less masculine. Because fuck gender stereotypes. If i want to have a bath with a bath bomb I'll do so because bath bombs are fun 😤
( marked as celebratory because i no longer give a crap about using feminine beauty products aimed at women, i am a man who likes using both masculine and feminine scents)
Is there any bath bombs without glitter anymore? All the Christmas ones seemed to have glitter in them. The only ones I can see that don't have glitter is avobath and butterball. Is there any other ones that don't have glitter?
I do not typically have sensitive skin at all but as soon as I got in the bath with this one I started itching all over. I drained the bath and rinsed off in the shower but shortly after I got out, red welts and patches started showing up on my back, arms, chest, and neck. Very itchy and painful. It's four days later and they haven't gone away at all. Antihistamine not helping. Disappointed with Lush's customer care, they obviously have a script they use in cases like these, basically "We're sorry to hear that but it's not our fault."
Has anyone had a similar experience? How did you make the hives go away, or how long did they last? Thanks in advance
What do I do if my bath bombs arrived broken? Should I contact Lush? Just ignore that they are broken?
I have a total of 11 bombs that are broken, plus most were not even in a bag so the pieces need to be fished out of the box. 2 are the regular round bombs and the rest were the Santa Sleigh ones. I’m pretty bummed because those were my favorite.
Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks
This glitch is very minor but still freaked me out. was 100% sober when it happened.
So the other day I drew a nice hot bath for myself, and plopped in a bath bomb.
This bath bomb was heart shaped, pink, and peach scented. I kinda watched it fizz for a few seconds and then remembered to grab this little bath pillow I have out from under the sink.
So I grabbed the pillow and went to get into the bath and the bath bomb is just..not there. There’s no evidence that it was ever there. I can’t find it. The amount that I did watch fizz was definitely enough where the whole bath could have diluted it to be unnoticeable but here the fuck did the rest of it go? i’ve had that type before and it’s definitely noticeable, not to mention it takes literal minutes to dissolve and my back was turned for maybe 10 seconds.
i’m stumped and upset that I had to sit in a plain warm bath. what.
they smell so good?!? i got them for christmas and they are amazing. i’m really sad because the candles almost gone and the bath pods are gone but they were like my favorite things i’ve bought from glossier… can we get them anywhere else? i can’t find them on the website :(((
UPDATE::: Got a message from the team that says their is no plans to ever bring them back in the foreseeable future :(((
Guy who has never used bath bombs. Do they just make the water colorful? Or do they give you temporary enhancements, like letting you double jump?
So, I'm addicted to an indulgent bath, and love bathbombs. Mainstream ones are often so expensive (12+ a pop) that I took to making my own years ago, but I recently got the craving to buy some again for variety.
Does anyone have any indie bath-bombs they love? Preferably ones without floaties but I can break out the bath strainer if need be.
I mean baths in general kinda gross I think unless it’s just like relaxing when u already clean so then why bath bombs? Why would you make a tub full of gross ass water full of grime and whatnot even worse by putting a bath bomb in there? Truly don’t understand why would you want that on you skin and shit when you get out of the bath I don’t get it
