Lush is discontinuing more than 150 products following a review by CEO Mark Constantine and company analysts. The assessment of the brand's range focused on three criteria:
- Does it serve customer's needs?
- Is it number one in its category?
- Is it part of a cosmetic revolution?
"There are bound to be some disappointments but far many more opportunities as we make room to create things that are best in their class—fewer products, that give you better results," a company announcement noted.
Among the COVID-19 predictions that have emerged in 2020 is the notion that companies will focus their product selections on more meaningful innovations. Likely many more brands are taking similar measures, though perhaps not in such a public manner.
Lush will slowly draw down the discontinued products. Select items may reappear in the company's Kitchen subscription boxes. Should these items rate well, they could be returned to the permanent lineup.
