Lush has made a big move with their new Valentine's day range and released no bottled shower gels or creams- instead, they have only made a naked version.  Tender Is The Night is a pink shower cream that comes in an approximate 250g sized piece shaped like a shower gel bottle. The idea of naked shower gels and creams can have a dramatic effect on our global plastic situation, by removing the need for plastic bottles.  

Lush's Valentines Day 2018 Tender is The Night Naked Shower Cream

It is a point of pride for Lushies to say that Lush is the leader in the industry with this practice. Naked shower creams and gels are essentially just the original product with no water added.  It may look like, sound like and feel like a bar of soap but once you use it, you will see, it is far from just soap.

This shower cream shares its scent with the message bar of the same name.  The smell is a knock-down sweet floral scent that is hard not to love. Made from Jasmine, Ylang Ylang and Vanilla it is seriously stunning.  Lady Bubble describes it as a "Candied Jasmine Flower."  Of all the floral shower gels this is definitely Lord Fizz's favorite!

To use this pink potion, just grab it firmly in your hand, rub it onto your other hand with a little water and it will slowly begin to liquify.  Just like Santa's Christmas shower cream, Tender is The Night doesn't foam a lot on your skin and it does not leave you feeling squeaky clean like a shower gel or a soap might.  It does leave you feeling clean and moisturized, however. 

Usually, after a shower, our intrepid bathers need some lotion (or need to use a body conditioner in the shower) to moisturize their skin but with this shower cream, it was not necessary! Their skin felt soft and supple, plus smelled good too.

After two uses in the shower, the size is almost unchanged. 

This is the first naked shower gel/cream to fall into the hands or Lord Fizz and Lady Bubble and despite all the hype they witnessed during the Christmas release...this product did not noticeably shrink or dimish after two separate uses! It seems like it could be a great value for the pricey cost of £14.50.

Tender Is The Night is a great product.  It smells great, it is a beautiful pink color and its shape is so cute...oh wait, not really.  If we have one bone to pick with this and all naked shower gel/creams, it is that.  Lush has the potential to mold these into a variety of cute shapes and they choose a ... cylinder.


Although, there is something to be said about how this shape could be transitional for their customers.  It may be easier for plastic bottle grieving customers to adjust when they still have something bottle shaped to grab onto in the shower.

All downsides of naked products aside, Lush is really kicking some ass and setting great examples by going naked.  They have taken away the plastic from one of their most popular product types and they have taken a step towards a cleaner and happier earth.
