I’m a man who uses Aromaco and it’s awesome. It looks like tasty cheese but smells like a stroll through the forest. Will never go back!

[@megstclair531]

Would love to hear about the shampoo bars/solid shampoos. Specifically what each one does and which hair types they're suited for. Absolutely loving these videos :)

[@looseleafteabutworse]

Pleaaaase

[@ThankfullyRedeemed3]

Yes, please!

[@LUSH]

Hey Meg! Thanks for your suggestion. We have a shampoo bar specific Deep Dive from a few weeks back kzbin.info/www/bejne/jorRhKNvhreDeKM but we'll look to do one on hair types and what products might suit you best!

[@heyoitsricco]

@Battleborn i tried it, it was still greasy and the no conditioner was horrible. Tap water is usually very aggressive for the hair, at least for mine cause i have curly hair

[@chloejackson6114]

Would not recommend, have sulfates in them and leave u with a greasy dry mess

[@pppotatoes]

Ive tried all the LUSH deodorants and aromaco is def my fav!! I get a $7 piece and cut it in half, carry that around in a cleaned out Ultrabland pot, and it lasts a good 3 months before I have to switch to the other half. Amazing!!

[@ThankfullyRedeemed3]

I've only tried Aromaco, but it works GREAT! I don't care for dark patchouli, however. I've tried numerous other natural deodorants & Aromaco is the only one that works without creating horrible raised, painful skin under my arms. I highly recommend it! I wish you'd offer it in another scent though 🤣

[@graciek4700]

I would like a deep dive on the henna hair colouring bars!

[@ThankfullyRedeemed3]

Me too!

[@SpiralBreeze]

I use Aromaco. I hate not sweating. Also I got a swollen lymph node in my armpit years ago from using antiperspirant. 12 years later I have no problems and my clothes don't get ruined anymore either.

[@MakeupMayhem21]

Spiral Breeze hi there, I know this comment is old but just wondering if aromaco keeps the smell away or if you must reapply?

[@wrzesienkuba]

What toxins? Sweat is composed of water, minerals (like sodium, potassium, etc.), urea and lactic acid mostly.

[@graced4844]

I don't know if the toxin thing is accurate, but using deodorant with aluminum has been linked to higher rates of cancer.

[@lealeone2582]

Is urea not a waste product also excreted through urine? It could be constituted as a toxin because you would not want excess urea to buildup in your blood. Which is why you can get away with drinking urine for survival, but not for more than a couple (2-3) days. The body excretes things that aren’t good for it on the daily, thank zeus. It’s all a part of a natural process. Idk. Just some thoughts.

[@wrzesienkuba]

It is but urea is also widely used in cosmetics for its moisturising properties

[@327Stargirl]

@@graced4844 That is not true, check scientific research studies and read them, there are not any, that say this.

[@bombygriz]

Correlation is not causation. There may be some studies that show aluminum use correlating with cancer, but that doesn’t mean that using antiperspirants with aluminum will cause you to develop cancer.

[@vanessamoura9542]

I've been using Aromaco for 2 years now after being diagnosed with cancer and it works wonders! My axilla has also become much clear without those dark patches that rubbish deodorants leave it on us. And, even when I forget to put it on I don't smell that much any more. Such an amazing product!!!

[@aarong1770]

Erica Vega is the reason I'm surviving as a Lush employee

[@Estonian4life]

hey, you cute ;)

[@MeganClouser]

i honestly watch these just to listen to erica’s voice i love it 😍

[@kbergish7292]

I’d love to see a “Deep Dive” on the dental care products, particularly in regards to fluoride and why Lush doesn’t use it. (Similar to how you addressed aluminum here.) Love this series!

[@mariaignacialeonor]

Any videos on that yet?

[@MenchieExtrakt]

No dentist would recommend toothpaste without fluoride

[@acometpulledfromorbit8267]

I would love ❤️ to see a deep dive on toners or moisturizers!! 💜

[@LUSH]

Keep your eyes peeled in the coming weeks 😊

[@wanderingwalksasmr]

Thanks for the note on switching from anti perspirants to deodorants- boyyyy did my body go into overdrive on my first day transitioning! I thought I was ill 🤧😷🤒‼️ 😂

[@kathrynhamilton5456]

I want to hear about what I can use while I’m on my cycle like bath and shower stuff

[@hannahtedder9427]

I love this series so much!

[@idoscreamforicecream]

Please do one on facial moisturizers, and explaining what works for each skin type!

[@karinakurbanova724]

Erica is extremely cute, it’s so fascinating to listen to her narrating to us stuff about lush products. I got stretch marks on my inner thighs and when I was exploring the city of Barcelona I realised that my thighs sweat and rub against each other a lot and those stretch marks get very irritated and bloody red. So I bought the silky underwear at lush (the employees were so caring and adorable oh my glob) and the product helped me a lot. I was wondering if I could use it as a deodorant, thanks for helping

[@LUSH]

Hi there, Noah! Silky Underwear doesn't have the same deodorizing effects as our powder deodorants and instead contains cocoa butter to help soften skin. That said, if you find that it works for you, we don't see why you couldn't use it in this way!

[@drakeface]

I use Silky Underwear as my typical deodorant. I keep a LUSH sample jar size container in my purse so I can reapply a few times throughout the day to refresh the scent & feel. 👌🏻

[@bobtsai1]

I love this video SO MUCH! Love how vivid her explanation is and also her voice ❤️❤️❤️ I just bought silky underwear and i'm LOVIN" it!!! both the scent and the texture

[@pabloplato]

Aromaco is great but i wish it was cut/molded into a standard soap bar shape so i could fit it into a soap travel case/plastic soap container. the usual cut is a high cube that is too tall to fit in with the lid closed.

[@loopylollypop27]

I LOVE Aromaco! Even the sample I got lasted me MONTHS before I even got into the chunk I bought. It's easy to store and transport (I just use a little tupperware), easy to use, with a good but not too strong scent. Easily my best purchase from LUSH, though it's up there with the shampoo bars.

[@nanahokanaya2041]

I’d love to learn about skin care products and routine for easily clogged pores!!!!! I love listening to Erika’s video. It’s so calming, thank you Erika.

[@butterocean]

Teo was the very first product I bought from Lush years ago. Still absolutely love it to this day! Aromaco too!🤗🧚🏼‍♂️💙🙏🏼😌

[@kileyhutton7186]

These are my favorite videos! I’d love to hear more about your soaps, body gels, the jellies all of the soap stuff!!!

[@elizabat_]

I really love Aromaco, T'eo and Silky Underwear! my livesavers for years now. I tried all kinds of regular deodorants and antitranspirants before and it was awful. My skin is very sensitive so those gave me rashes and burned after shaving; they just wouldn't work for me. :D

[@daisykirkwood2832]

I’d love more hair care videos, oil treatments, henna and so on. Though actually all of these videos are brilliant so just make more, I’m learning loads and have been inspired to try new products

[@drakeface]

I would love a smarter, more functional design for the body powder containers! Nothing like getting down to the end of my Silky Underwear & the top not quuuite closing and exploding all over my bag! (This has happened more than a few times..) I believe you can redesign it to be better!

[@LUSH]

Thanks so much for your feedback, Mary! We'll be sure to share this with our teams. 😊

[@martynawieckowski4071]

Great video about your products! Thank you!

[@rachelhill7332]

Erica seems like such a chill person

[@jahairafaber3022]

Thank you for the captions!!

[@rn8845]

I'm really glad I watched these videos.

[@dwindlebunny]

Thanks for talking about my request! I have an interview for Lush on Wednesday and I hope I have an experience like yours. (Ultrabland is my favourite product... I'm so basic.)

[@sufanaomar6406]

I have tried the lip scrub and they are amazing I can't stop baying them 😍💜💜

[@ericamorales1689]

Really good section of products to cover! I'd still like to see a video on toothy tabs, tooth powder, and mouthwash tabs.

[@dwindlebunny]

I just started using aromaco and I find it works best if I use it after I've towelled off after a shower. It glides nicely.

[@samanthasick4594]

I love the texture and naked packaging of aromaco but I hate the smell. I hate patchouli and I would love if you guys came out with other scents

[@hollybrooke3850]

Yes yes yes and yeeeessssss, I just couldn't stand the smell I don't want to smell woodsy and patchouli when im all about rose jam plum rain American dream type families, I would like it to a bar that smells at least a little girly and find t'eo too abrasive to use

[@rocitarogers5054]

Ummm.. I would like to talk about your DRESS!! I'm absolutely adoring that dress❤❤

[@emaginarymusic]

Need to try one of these

[@DWPersianExcursion]

Great content, thank you! I just purchased silky underwear, after a few days of homework! Yayyy🙏🌼

[@gamimo89]

Thanks again Erica! I'd love to see the difference between cleansers. Solid, self preserving and fresh. :)

[@LUSH]

We'll be sure to pass your suggestion along, lovely! 😘

[@carasheets1419]

Erica should talk about everything lush makes. She did this video years ago about scalp massage bars and no lie I still go back to the video to relax. By the way bring back the scalp bars.i swear she could be reading the fine print on a credit card statement and I would watch! 💚Erica💚

[@dwindlebunny]

I haven't heard of the scalp massage bars! I'll have to find this video.

[@brastibo]

Love you Erica!! Would also like to see more info on face moisturiser

[@kyleh698]

So knowledgable! thank you!

[@nikkitube8816]

I had tried Aromaco years ago and remember that I felt like I had to get the bar wet in order for it to feel like any product was gliding onto my skin. It also burned a little bit after shaving. Other than that, it did it’s job and worked well

[@InfectiousLaugh]

I really want to try those natural deodorants, I was thinking of making my own baking soda based deodorant but those will definitely do the job!

[@_serenity3298]

Be careful with baking soda. Alot of people have had skin breakouts/rashes due to their sensitivity towards it. It can even darken the area too, happened with me when trying arm and hammer deo. Cornstarch would work better.

[@GalladofBales]

I think once I’m out of the antiperspirant again I’m gonna try aromaco. I tried t’eo a few years back and i liked it, but maybe i just didn’t give it long enough to work since I was still feeling very sweaty. I could tell I didn’t smell too bad though

[@israelhc8947]

Hi Lush, first off love your products and your company’s mission. However, please stop putting sulfates in every shampoo and conditioner... Make some options without sulfates. The Lush in Italy made a conditioner “Hair necessities” without sulfates and it was the best!! I’m waiting for them to restock online since it’s sold out. Lots of love to you lushers 😃

[@robbydesana2400]

They are fantastic

[@eclecticmillennial4225]

Aromaco keeps me dry and I love it.

[@Sue-jn9dc]

Just purchased the Aromaco yesterday based on this very informative video. And it was a good purchase. I feel fresh and clean. Still getting used to the patchouli fragrance. Could you do reviews on the other deodorant products available from lush.

[@LUSH]

We are happy to hear that you are enjoying your Aromaco deodorant Sue! We hope to have even more Deep Dive videos highlighting these great Lush treats soon. 💛

[@cassidybirkhimer6510]

The Guv’ner is my deodorant which I love but I find it turned my armpits grayish black for a bit(the color of the product).

[@TheJim6226]

Love the powders just wondered why they went from a 100gram tub to a 60gram bottle??

[@cecasimic4643]

Ikr I’m so mad about that, I know it’s just a 40gr less but still😖

[@dawnabrownturris55]

The aromaco works great but the sent of patchouli every one around me says it stinks can they make a karma aromaco ?? Just to get abit less hippy herbaly and a swetter even floral sent ?? The teo stings my arm pits like crazy i used it every day for a month and always hurt like a rash and they said in store to stick it out and i did for 3 months and it kept stinging like raw skinded knees didnt work well for me . i didnt use doderant till i was 27 and igot pregnant with my first son 3rd child . ive never needed an antiperspirant. I ordered the sunflower solid deoderant from the lush uk and i adore the sent the way it feels its wonderful ...then sumer hit and its just not strong enough for the 30plus Celsius weather here in the okanigan of bc CANADA and the powders leave a dusty residue on cloths . i do use the all natural crystal i herd lush used to make them too but stoped (before my time ) but ive really wanted to fined a lush one icould love any idea if theyre trying any solid deonderants in a more clean or fruity sent ?? Or if theyrr bring crystals back as ive bin a lushy just a decaid and 2 weeks ive never got to try it ??!! Ps you where in the first lush you tube video i ever watched whereing something very simaler to your gorgeous dress and bright blue eyeshadow and i said shes me to a T !!love your videos happy 13 years lucky 13 good for you !! Pss i do use silky under wear down below and leg crevases it dose leave dusty resadue that transfers to close but only me and my husband see down their so its not a big deal i do love its sliper feel less like dry powder but i do love me the solid naked line of products . i hope the lush lads and ladys are brain storming deoderant ideas and prototypes!!??!!

[@ns0n]

Colored hair treatment please

[@Ashley-nu8zo]

How do you apply the powder?

[@johary2966]

Do you have something like that for the face?

[@val-fz4bd]

Would love to hear about the curly cream

[@rebekahgilliam4131]

Just make an online order (nearest store is 2 plus hours away) of silky underwear can I use it as a deodorant due to the product being in the sweat video or is it just something to keep you dry when you feel sticky?

[@vegaflor8830]

Curious to see how it s made!!!

[@scrotelord2961]

I've tried all of the deodorants, and while I love how they smell (looking at you guvner) they make me break out in horrible skin scales and rashes after prolonged use. None of the ingredients are anything I'm allergic to, either. Maybe I just sweat too much? Only thing that works for me is prescription strength deodorant, so I feel that maybe that's why. I wish it worked for me. :(

[@carinanicole8]

Do a video about LUSH makeup!!

[@itzelcastro7040]

I have aromaco and gets the job I still sweat but not as bad i do like this product.

[@FastirelangBlake]

Itzel Castro how's it with reducing smell? Or covering it?

[@itzelcastro7040]

Ireland Blake it good alternative I don’t think I smell bad only when I sweat i smell like aromaco or like patchouli.

[@ruinedfall]

naked body conditioner!! living in a humid climate makes it difficult to start using it without it melting away

[@The_Cherokee_Gypsy]

I have “Big” and it’s AMAZING

[@FastirelangBlake]

Anyone know how well these block smell? I sweat a lot and have pretty bad BO and I don't want to be at work while sweating and not having good protection.

[@looseleafteabutworse]

For me, aromaco works pretty well! I have similar problems and I feel like this one does really help

[@elizabat_]

T'eo and Aromaco are really keeping me super comfortable and far from smelly. Never experienced anything bad with them in years! just give it a try \^.^/ regular deodorants gave me really weird smell and rashes

[@bombygriz]

I’d honestly be willing to buy something like this if Lush were honest about it simply being an alternative to traditional antiperspirants. It’s not better than them, and I’d wager the results would not compare in terms of sweat output and smell. Not to mention, you do NOT need to constantly sweat from your armpits to ‘eliminate toxins’. Your liver does this already. There’s no concrete scientific evidence that aluminum salts in antiperspirants cause any health problems from average use. Lush has been edging closer and closer to full-blown woo-peddling and greenwashing and it honestly makes me sad.

[@xlemonxheadx]

Can't relate. I've had countless infections from aluminum deodorants

[@melisse8150]

Thanks for the video. Can you talk about what's coming this Christmas? 😁. Or at least confirm you will be selling Twilight shower gel. I'm on rations. It's beautiful.

[@LUSH]

Hi there, Mellissa! We don't have any news on our holiday collection quite yet, but be sure to keep an eye on our social media for any teasers and all the latest updates! 💕

[@izzysmall1423]

word of wisdom to those who have hairy armpits, aromaco can be tricky to apply over long hair so make sure your armpits are fairly damp when applying, goes on much smoother and makes sure that it gets down to the skin where it needs to be :)

[@The_Cherokee_Gypsy]

I hate how the powder get stuck in the nozzle and I have all of them two for toes I don’t have the grinch but I have silky underwear and now drought

[@AGee2217]

Detoxing your pits is no joke lol. I stuck SO BAD for about a month haha

[@jasminem812]

I love the scent of T'eo and it worked really well, but it burned the crap out of my skin. My mom had the same experience. I think it had to do with shaving causing sensitivity in the skin, but either way it sucked LOL

[@ninasfe2258]

I’m discovering this products now, I’m from Mexico and it’s some confused to know about the products because we don’t have a page in Spanish or videos. Maybe you need to focus more in your Latinoamérica clients. About the products I am using Aromaco and I have the same feeling about the first weeks.

[@cringeygoals5520]

she is so nice

[@etcbarbara]

so I can use “silky underwear” as an deodorant? I don’t sweat a lot. and I don’t put deodorants every day.

[@ThankfullyRedeemed3]

I use it over Aromaco, so I don't smell the patchouli as much.

[@etcbarbara]

Tammi MacClellan Heupel thanks :)

[@graced4844]

If y'all find that a solid deodorant doesn't work well, you can buy paste deodorant in a jar or make it yourself. And if plastic isn't a concern for you, schmidt's makes deodorant without aluminum or propolyene glycol.

[@millenialfragrancenerd94]

*WARNING! LONG REVIEW!* I've started using the T'eo deodorant bar, which I originally purchased for my brother as a Christmas present. I gave it a test run, in the summer, during camp season. Did a lot of physical work, supervising the kids in 35 Celsius degree weather. I also am one of people whose sweating is profuse, so I was curious to see how T'eo will handle this issue, and let me tell you: the sweat was gone after a regular 8 hour shift, like it was never there. However, if you're swipe happy with your deodorants, proceed with caution for it contains baking soda which if applied heavily, will leave your skin red, sore, and irritated. Other than that, T'eo's the real deal! 👍
