Whenever Lush release a bath bomb or product that has an engender attached to it, I'm over it like a rash. I feel these products epitomise the purpose and value of Lush as a company, and what better way of getting rewarded for supporting a great cause than to get a lovely, limited edition item in return. World Piece Bath bomb is one such product.
Released earlier this year, World Piece was Lush's way of showing support and educating the public on Peace One Day, an organisation founded by filmmaker Jeremy Gilley, who wanted to create an annual day of ceasefire and nonviolence – Peace Day. He created a documentary about his fight for the day to exist and in 2001 the UN accepted his plea, unanimously voting for an international day of peace – the 21st of September.
Peace One Day's objective is to institutionalise Peace Day, creating a day that is self-sustaining - an annual day of global unity, and a day of cooperation on a scale that humanity has never known; Peace One Day aim towards a target of 3 billion people's awareness of Peace Day by 2016.
For most of the public, a cause like this might seem too much on the grand scale to know where to begin supporting or getting involved. Aside from 'keeping the peace' in your local area, what can someone do to voice their support for such a cause? Buy a bath ballistic of course!
Not only does every penny go towards funding and supporting Jeremy's cause, but the ballistic has been specifically created to promote world peace in other ways.
The World Piece bath bomb is made with pine oil from Russia for courage and constancy and peppermint, symbol of friendship and love, from the USA. Lush have also included sweetie oil, from an Israeli grapefruit bred to remove sourness, mixed with a secret perfume from the edges of the Arabian Sahara Kenyan as well as cypress oil which is said to soothe anger and calm down irritability.
The bath product has a sweet citrus and mint scent which intensifies when added to water and is very very refreshing on a hot day or in the morning when you need a wake up call. The bomb turns the water a gorgeous deep turquoise blue which remains vivid throughout the whole bathing experience.
This calming, uplifting product was created to bring peace and tranquility to you and your bath and I really got a sense of wellbeing when testing it out for the first time. I loved the fact that the peppermint fragrance lingers on your body during and after bathing, awakening your skin and making your feel invigorated and refreshed.
The best part about the bath bomb is that it looks like our planet Earth, a personal touch that demonstrates why I support Lush Cosmetics so much, and why I'm always excited to see what they decide to bring out next.This bath bomb was first released in 2003 to coincide with World Peace Day and looks exactly the same today as it did then. I'm unsure whether this is an annual release for Lush but I do hope they choose to bring this back next year as I'd like to buy a few more to help me through the winter months.
