Dr. Harvinder Harchand Unveils the Naked Truth
Dr. Harvinder Harchand, Director of Lush Malaysia, gives us a glimpse behind the scenes, sharing the philosophy behind “naked” products and how they reduce costs while ensuring better ingredients tailored to customers’ needs.
“In our stores, customers can experience Lush’s products being sold without packaging, or as they call it “naked” products. The idea behind naked products is to reduce the cost that would typically incur with packaging, enabling the products to be made using better ingredients, suitable for the customers’ needs,” she said.
Lush’s Social Responsibility Initiatives
Lush goes the extra mile by championing social responsibility through initiatives like the Charity Pot and Bring It Back schemes. Uncover the story behind Charity Pot, the hand and body cream that allocates 100% of its sales towards grants supporting animal protection, environment, and human rights.
Join the recycling movement with the Bring It Back scheme, encouraging customers to return empty packaging and contributing to a closed-loop recycling system. Lush is committed to turning beauty into a force for positive change.
Personalised Beauty with a Conscience
During the opening speech, Harvinder highlighted Lush’s belief that a business should be ethical and that all trade should be fair. At Lush, they’re always ready to help enhance customer awareness and product selection with on-site consultations, connecting customers with products that not only meet their beauty needs but also align with their values.
She also further emphasised “We hold on to the belief that a business should be ethical and all trade should be fair. This is reflected through our products and how we conduct our business. It’s no secret that consumers are becoming increasingly conscientious about the impact of the products they buy.”
“We want to make sure when customers purchase our products, it’s not only beneficial but resonates with their values. Customers should be rest assured that the production of Lush items is ethical and safe – from the sourcing of materials right to when it reaches their hands.”
