Sometimes we’re asked why we’re not completely vegan. And this little tub of loveliness is a perfect example of why. Based on the world’s first known ointment, it’s a melting pot of beautiful emollient butters, enzymic fresh lemon and, crucially, beeswax, which enables all these effective ingredients to blend together and work as well as they do. A little dab of Lemony Flutter will brighten the cuticles and nails, soften hard skin, and give all those dry bits the sorting out they need. It was also created for Lush Co-Founder Liz Bennett (née Weir), who had very high standards – so you know it does the job. Fellow Co-Founder and Product Inventor Helen Ambrosen explains, “Liz was always very particular about her hands and her nails so this product was made for her. It’s great on the hands or toes – and helps prevent cracks in the skin.”
What’s in it for you?
Beeswax: protective, deeply softening, emulsifies ingredients together.
Shea and cocoa butters: creamy and emollient, soften and reduce water loss.
Fresh organic lemon extract: brightening, enzymic, helps break down hard skin
Mango butter: moisturising, melts in and smoothes.
Avocado oil: source of antioxidants, proteins and oils for hardworking hands.
Sicilian lemon oil: source of alpha-hydroxy-acids (AHAs), traditionally used for nail complaints.
Leaving the world Lusher than we found it
We carefully source our beeswax from conscientious suppliers, which includes beekeepers in Kenya, Tanzania, and Australia, depending on where this product is being made.
Made with coconut oil sourced from Nias, Indonesia, where our supplier gives 10% of their profits to the Ono Niha Foundation, supporting children with physical disabilities on the island with numeracy and literacy classes that would otherwise be non-accessible.
Our caring cupuaçu butter comes from the Amazon and is grown in a regenerative agroforestry system.
How to store:
Somewhere cool and dry but ideally close at hand.
