Lush How It's Made: Avocado Co-Wash

SUBSCRIBE ► / @lush
No ‘poo? We got you. Avocado Co-wash is our #solid #shampoo that’s perfect for curly, dyed or natural hair types that have done away with the ritual of daily shampoo. Katie from our manufacturing team shows us how we make this ultra-moisturizing cleanser with fresh avocados and a special blend of unique oils to keep hair silky-soft and smooth-and all without the heavy lather. It lets you wash and condition in a single step and won’t strip your hair of its natural oils. And with its fruity bergamot scent, it’ll keep your mood as happy as your locks!

There's more fruit in a rich man's shampoo than in a poor man's diet

[@Givemepeacealone]

Kuchi Kopi the fuck is wrong with you

[@asia9550]

Kaz Don ..... well said 👍

[@clown_lad]

Considering fruit is one of the cheapest foods, and can be found for free.....the only poor thing here is your intelligence lmfao

[@elihauser1840]

Dearest Satan fresh organic fruit especially avacados are so fucking expensive get out of your bubble and look around you

[@kiwix4015]

Kuchi Kopi What the fuck? Slow your role and quit making assumptions, would ya?

[@Mittie98]

I love lush bit always thought they were on the expensive sode. Wow, now I know why. A lot of work and fresh ingredients go into their products

[@Mittie98]

*bit *side

[@nnnnhhhh88]

*but? :D

[@loveforskz2212]

Youtty Lovvy there is no but in that sentence

[@nnnnhhhh88]

yeah because she messed up. Its 'I love lush BUT always thought.."

[@emptyricebowl]

mittie rowland organic products are expensive and it does help your skin and hair. Lush does have the benefits they say the products has. They also use fresh ingredients. Expensive but worth it

[@graciej520]

I feel terrible the poor soul that washes the dishes

[@dianaw8710]

curlygirl grace tru

[@tylerti4126]

Diana Mkay

[@sarcasticallyevelyn8418]

they prolly use a dish washer of some sort

[@navybrowning3698]

Better at lush than like a peep or marinara factory

[@islandercatcatrea1876]

They prob let it dry them peel the leftover off.

[@braydenwisniewski7312]

You should save the seeds and plant avocado trees

[@mari3564]

That's not how it works

[@poppy-rae2795]

if they did it from the pit it would take 15 years, but it has to be a special type of pit so not the ones they use.

[@JaggedBeauty]

Actually they do... my living room is full of avo trees growing from the pits.

[@JaggedBeauty]

my penis is unbelievably small, theres tons of sunlight and I have massive pots that they’re in. They aren’t large enough yet to transfer outdoors. You should really KZbin “how to grow an avocado tree”. It’s super simple. Perhaps do your research before you and your small penis are sassy to people online.

[@we_todd]

@@_iamnotsober my grandma has a little avocado tree in her house, she's been growing it for as long as I can remember

[@NikkiMedina]

I wanna work at the Lush factory sooooo bad😭😭

[@LUSH]

Keep an eye on our Careers page - maybe your chance will come up soon! www.lushusa.com/Careers-at-LUSH/careers-lush,en_US,pg.html

[@rorror9684]

Nikki Medina good luck 😉❤️

[@emptyricebowl]

Nikki Medina it's really hard! If you don't like being dirty or getting powders splashed on you then Lush in not the job. Overall it's a really great job!

[@Kokose]

Works at factories and warehouses is really hard. I used to work in spices factory - i was packing spices into the bottles and tiny containers. It was really hard job - pepper in eyes, smell of curry on you all the time...

[@winonavalentina6206]

Aleksandra Michałowska lush is a soap factory 😑

[@TheNailFairy101]

Traditional co washing is what a lot of African American women do, like I'll wash my hair with shampoo 1once a week and for the 3 consecutive weeks I'll just use conditioner. Helps the natural oils and needed oils stay in your hair.

[@Jadedgems]

Keren Ingram yes it's very good for your hair

[@vanyellbutterfield7838]

yup co-wash is short for conditioner wash

[@theywalkinguptoyouand4060]

Actually washing hair with shampoo allows your scalp to replenish the natural oils in the scalp. Conditioners are purely cosmetic. They can't nourish hair because the hair is not alive. Only the very roots and the scalp are alive and conditioners just make the hair look good but don't nourish it. I shake my head whenever I have a young female patient who uses conditioner all the time instead of a shampoo. I'm a dermatologist and I rarely ever use conditioners.

[@StudioJohm]

proudblackjynx interesting, thanks for sharing that.

[@asho345]

proudblackjynx African hair needs extra TLC so co washing or oil rinsing every once in a while is very useful. Hair is not alive but it needs to be conditioned to remain soft like any fabric or fiber that experiences high manipulation.

[@juliaiero8366]

Katie looks like a fun person to be friends with. She just gives off such a sweet vibe.

[@littlebluedolphin]

I wanna EAT that bowl of yummy ripe avocados!! Omg!

[@LUSH]

We can attest that they are super yummy! 😍

[@littlebluedolphin]

LUSH Cosmetics North America Oh my, you're making me drool!!! Lol! Time to shop for some avocados and feast on them!!😋😄

If I worked at the lush store, I would never have a paycheck❤️😻

[@annaelisabeth8436]

What do you mean?

[@myafigs6065]

+Floortje Habets I assume she would spend all her money at the store.

[@lolkid3249]

+Mya Figures It Out she would

[@cosmicshen88]

Exactly what happens. Lol. It’s like I work for free.

[@joanainacio88]

I worked in Lush and used my 50% discount all the time! Had no money at the end of the month but oh boy I smelled fabulous!

[@michaelronen6637]

This brand is really amazing and I appreciate the care that goes into their products.

[@prettynflawed]

All the avocados!!!! YUMMY!!!!

[@BlackBerryTrees]

yes! this looks so amazing! I love that you can also consider this a "naked" lush product since you could bring your own packaging to the store to get your co-was put in there!

[@factanonverba7547]

all these colors are gorgeous.

[@ahha1834]

Katie you're sunshine! Lush is lucky to have you :-)

[@TheButtercupbiscuit]

I love how real she is on camera! You can tell she is just being herself and loving what she does. She is also very beautiful😍Great video! 😃

[@Pippi-rippi]

I love these videos. Really love seeing how it's made. Love your store and the love you put into it xx

[@karis7888]

I'd love to see fizzbanger being made! It's my favourite bath bomb!

[@joelenaoverby25]

Yes all of these!!! I love the how it is made especially since I work at lush it helps me to understand what is all in the product and why!! Continue pleaseeee!!

[@LUSH]

Thanks so much for sharing the love - we're so glad you're enjoying our videos!

[@uytyfjjkhjkuhh2015]

I love how she's always smiling :-)

[@kalenzypie]

Really enjoyed listening to Katie's voice and her smile, even when shes working, is so pleasant and infectious

[@BrujaFemCult]

I love these videos they're so cute and fun! I would personally like for them maybe to be a bit longer. Maybe talk about the effects more and where we source ingredients from. We just don't want you guys to stop!

[@briantranle6370]

I can't wait to go out and get this product!!! These videos gets me excited to go to my local lush store.

[@LUSH]

Aw, thank you so much for your kind words! We can't wait for you to try Avocado Co-Wash!

[@shivalishankersharma1562]

This is incredibly satisfying to watch.

[@mooncake4371]

This makes me want to try it out even more now seeing the great ingredients used to make this shampoo!

[@nowherenewsman7542]

I’m aware that there’s probably preservatives etc that also go into their products but it’s amazing that their products don’t spoil or go sour since they’re essentially just oil and produce

[@adelaidelasalle2266]

You should do a How It's Made on cup o' coffee :)

[@LUSH]

Thanks so much for the suggestion!

[@HelenaBlack80]

OMG! I love cup o coffee!

[@adelaidelasalle2266]

HelenaBlack80 same

[@jefftheofficial5638]

Yessss I have it on right now

[@rebeccam4016]

I love how the workers love their job and enjoy what they do!

[@drk7031]

Omg that looks amazing ,I love this product so nourishing

[@stancexpunks]

I was pretty disappointed with how weak the moisturizing effects were on my thick, coarse, and color treated hair. It seemed like I used a good amount because I spent a good 5 minutes rubbing it all over my hair. All the reviews on KZbin made it seem like its super moisturizing so to be careful not to overuse it, so I was a bit let down. I then tried Aveda's dry remedy shampoo and conditioner and the moisturizing was insane! My hair felt so smooth, soft, and shiny. Simply amazing.

[@lydia7939]

Now it's made on Lemony Flutter (Cuticle butter)!!

[@lydia7939]

How*😂

[@chyd8308]

[@Talik13]

I'd love to see how Enzymion is made! OH or Sympathy for the Skin!

[@katieb2098]

I feel like their forced too smile even in the stores they seem so happy like no ones that happy

[@Shy411]

This has become my favorite cleansing shampoo bar.!!

[@camillefoessel]

I've always wanted to try a lush product! I've been to one of your stores and it smells so nice

[@kenkotea9887]

Do a "How it's Made" on Queen Bee Hair Honey Please!! 🐝

[@kimberwilkerson8827]

can someone explain the wax? like i get it's to preserve it or whatever but what do you do with it?

[@Alyss15Nightingale]

Avocado Co-Wash is one of my favorite Lush products and I'm super pleased I could see how it is made. :)

[@suriyamclean9440]

The tea infusion looked like it'll smell amazing!!

[@claudiav.4155]

I would love to see how twilight shower gel is made

[@nenitastar99]

[@TahoorAhmedDesserts]

now after watching lush videos i am in love in with especially that they are trying there best for the planet

[@maykimura4587]

Would love to see Mask of magnaminty, as I use it everyday. But the fresh face masks would be really cool to see. I love that LUSH lets you see how they make the products and they show you want goes in it. Awesome. I can't wait for my next LUSH trip just to get this solid conditioner.

[@LUSH]

Thanks for the feedback! We've made videos for two of our Fresh Face Masks so far - you'll find Cupcake here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qp6XkImGh6-gbas and you can watch Brazened Honey here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKHJq6eop9VlbtE

[@maykimura4587]

+LUSH Cosmetics North America I know. Haha I've seen them all. I wouldn't mind seeing the other fresh face masks as I plan on purchasing Cosmetic Warrior and Don't Look At Me as soon as it's in stock somewhere. Those too are so popular I haven't been able to even get them in stores.

[@valsings49]

+May Kimura they made it! :)

[@maykimura4587]

+Valerie Woods I saw it when it came out. I was far to excited haha.

LUSH Cosmetics North America

[@ashleyaniton2684]

You can always ask them to cut a certain size. So say you only want to spend 8 dollars. You can ask the sale associate to cut that amount.

[@InfestedLice]

Ashley Aniton that's what I did and this rude lady said no we can't do that it I was like ok thanks and in my head I said all i asked is for a 9 dollar sliced and she didn't even do it!

[@InfestedLice]

LUSH Cosmetics North America no problem 😘

[@pyschedOUT]

Hey Lush, what's your background song please 😄

[@greengaming16]

[@LUSH]

We're so glad you're enjoying them!

[@em4957]

Ahh these videos make me want to buy everything Lush makes... I really want to work at a retail store just because I could work with these products all day and inform people about the ingredients, how the products are made and how to use them lol

[@aidenvega9416]

i would eat all of those avocados in one sitting r u kidding

[@KrazyKraftKitty]

lush should make a geode looking bath bomb

[@melanievega3469]

I love this shampoo bar!! I got a sample for the store and I tried it almost a week ago and my hair till this day still smells good and it doesn't feel greasy. Can't wait to go back to the store and get a full one.

[@LUSH]

Yay! We're so happy Avocado Co-wash is working for you! Plus, doesn't it smell incredible!? 💞

[@limerick9616]

Boi, I just got this and my hair has never been so shiny and soft until now! Also anyone with curly hair, this is for you!

[@diamondjames3443]

You should do how its made for R&B Hair Moisturizer

[@kavitakumar76]

show us how the experimenter is made!!

[@bellandliv1]

She’s my favorite compounder!!

[@medinayusazlan]

i got a package sprayed with avocado co wash body spray, my god. fell in LOVE with the scent but sadly im still broke. the package with the shirt in it? never wore it, put it on a pillow and i hug it to sleep every night. the smell weirdly reminds me of my childhood !! in LOVE cant wait until i can afford this

[@emmajohnson4699]

please do a how it's made on oatifix!!

[@beautyxoxom784]

Yesss

[@Sarabara113]

[@user-er9ei5uk4c]

Sarabara yup

[@nessaa.5399]

I would love to see how the experiementer is made!

[@VySharieff]

Need this immediately 💓💓💓

[@therat83]

This is my favorite lush product EVER

[@stephaniestomski9256]

I wanna know how you guys make “fun”

[@sofiapalm4450]

I would like to see how mask of magnaminty is made!

[@tyanna7213]

They have it now

[@TBX2]

I love that mask!

[@NavyLady82]

The green before the oil is soooo beautiful.

[@giovannagilio8499]

This is pure magic

[@JarvisChrist]

half the point of co-washing is having NO SULPHATES, this contains sodium laureth sulphate. Almost got my hopes up when the description said good for dyed hair when sulphates strip colour out like nothing else. Almost false advertising.

[@alexissolidrock]

Do you know if there are any alternatives to sulfates?

[@HimeGabi]

JarvisChrist I caught the same thing.

[@kingsly8741]

SLS does remove excess oils, but it works well within this product because the first ingredients are cocoa butter, cupuacu butter, and fresh avocado. It very gently removes oils you've amassed throughout the day and replaces it with rich moisturizers. So you are still cleansing your scalp when you use it (SLS, apple cider vinegar).

[@JamesCarneval]

キングスレー that's not what she said, she didn't say it's bad for your scalp and hair, although it is, it's the fact that it does strip hair dye like fucking crazy and makes me dying my hair absolutely pointless.

[@JamesCarneval]

Aleks Kisilenko acetates, betaines, sarcosinates, just look for certified organic cosmetics which lush is obviously not

[@alexissolidrock]

How does the product not go bad through the whole process of shipping and sitting in the store until it is purchased and such when avocados are ripe for approximately 2 minutes before they go bad? xD

[@LUSH]

Hi there Aleks! We use an expert blend of ingredients to preserve our products for their shelf lives. For Avocado Co-Wash's full ingredient list, check out the product page here: www.lushusa.com/05940.html

[@rayrayz4667]

I use this on my dome!!! it's amazing and smells like an herbal heaven.

[@amberts180]

Lush should include links to the products in the descriptions so we can buy it immediately!

[@scaldlemon9847]

if i was working on that id be eating all the avocados

[@sonjaelmkjrlubich8980]

Why do you put wax on it???

[@LUSH]

We use a beautifully contrasting red wax to help the product stay fresh for longer. As you saw, we use real fresh avocados in the creation of Avocado Co-wash, and avocados tend to brown when oxidizing. The red wax will help keep our love conditioning hair wash the freshest for the longest! ☺

[@sonjaelmkjrlubich8980]

LUSH Cosmetics North America thank you!!

[@ciamarsh2067]

I would love to see you do a how it's made for R&B - my holy grail hair product!!

[@abbyscott8044]

I love these videos sooooooooo much

[@raineydays6307]

So how do you use this? Peel the wax off and scoop some out with your hands? I don't understand why it's packaged like this. You can't leave it in the shower.

[@LUSH]

Hi there, Stephany! We recommend peeling the wax off and then either rubbing the bar down the length of your hair, or taking a pinch of product and working it through. While we don't recommend keeping it directly in the shower due to risk of melting, you can definitely keep it on your counter or in your bath room!

[@hudaaidouni87]

+LUSH Cosmetics North America plz do how it's made peau neuve mask

[@Babylamb1204]

like I want a big slab of this

[@LUSH]

Your hair would thank you! 😊

[@itsleabay]

i really love these cute little stickers that say who made the stuff, in this case Katie:D so cute!

[@cassandrac7723]

This thing smell just sooo good !!! I wish lush had something for the body smelling just like the cowash

[@_puppitoga12_99]

I though it was: I’m - and I’m making out with Avocado co-wash! And THATS WHERE BILLIES AVOCADOS WENT!!! AND FRICK she is WAY to happy..

[@channe4558]

It'll be much better for your hair if you eat those avocados and olive oil, rather than putting it on your scalp and then washing it 2 minutes later.

[@user-dz2hj6jo5h]

türev alan johnson eating it only helps at the root. This is for the entire hair

[@user-dz2hj6jo5h]

TheTR1358 it’s the conditioner. Conditioner is going to stop the entire hair from getting dry, therefore brittle. Consuming it will make the hair thicker but it can’t change the hair externally as that hair is dead.

[@catefeoline8327]

I've used this before. I love it!!

[@LUSH]

We're so glad you enjoyed Avocado Co-Wash!

[@Mojohjohjoh]

I made avo co wash yesterday and I love the comment 'I'll be right back, I need to get more avocados' because it's sooo true!! I had to get some from dairy and some from fresh!!

[@Sarah-gf8su]

Making products like this is so much better than artificial cosmetic products people get, its good on the environment, your body and won't cause cancer

[@sadiegallagher6533]

teeth She was stating that many beauty products have chemicals that can cause most commonly skin cancer

[@selenalamothe8681]

These arent all natural and actually a lot of these products have potentially cancer causing ingredients. You should research each item and pick the safest, that's what i do. There are other companies that make completely safe and all natural products like 100% Pure.

[@bletwort2920]

“Then I’m gonna take my surfactants...” Stop there! Bye
