A Lush enthusiast recently toured the company's factory in Poole, gaining exclusive insight into the creation of bath bombs and meeting co-founder Mo Constantine, the inventor of the bath bomb. Ruby West, Lush's Bathing Category Lead, revealed upcoming innovations including a new type of bath bomb called Cold (£5.50), designed with aromas to help fight congestion, featuring a cocoa butter insert for chest massage.
The tour also introduced the Bath Bot, a digital bath bomb priced at £150. Described as 'your ultimate bathing companion', it delivers immersive colour and 180-degree sound for a sensory bathing experience. The device pairs with the Lush app, offering pre-set routines for popular bath bombs like Big Blue, Twilight, Intergalactic and Sex Bomb, as well as customisable light sequences.
The Bath Bot's speaker is built to function in water, though not recommended for hot tubs or swimming pools. Average bathing sessions last around 24 minutes, but users can synchronise it with music or audiobooks. The reviewer tested the Bath Bot with the Big Blue bath bomb, noting a spa-like experience that left skin soft and refreshed.
The Bath Bot has quickly become a must-have for the reviewer, transforming their bathing routine and encouraging them to try new products like Big Blue, which they now plan to purchase regularly.
