A Brief Breakdown of Lush
Liz Weir and Mark Constantine started the business of Lush with the name "Herbal Hair and Beauty Clinic" and as they progressed to sell their items in the early 80s Mark read about Anita Roddick who just opened "The Body Shop". He decided to offer to sell their products in her store and she made an order of products worth 1,200 british pounds. They became "The Body Shop"'s biggest supplier and their relationship lasted for years however "The Body Shop" didn't like having their formulations owned by another company and decided to go on their own. This is where Lush and "The Body Shop"'s relationship broke. Eventually in 1995, they opened a store in Poole and the well known title "Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics" was born.
