For plastic-free-July Lush collaborated with the American animated television series, SpongeBob SquarePants to help keep our oceans and waterways clean. One part of the collaboration was the Lush X SpongeBob collection and the other was a SpongeBob, Lush Kitchen exclusive themed box.
Today I’ll be reviewing the Home Sweet Pineapple Body Balm from the main Lush X SpongeBob collection.
The Home Sweet Pineapple body balm is the first of its kind. We’ve had solid body butters and massage bars but never a body balm.
I’m not entirely sure of the difference between a body butter and body balm (Lush, we need you back on Instagram so we can ask you these types of very important questions) BUT after using Home Sweet Pineapple I think body balms melt a lot more slowly and just seem to be a slightly thinner formula that soaks into the skin more easily.
If you’re familiar with SpongeBob, you’d know that the Home Sweet Pineapple body balm has been made in the shape of SpongeBob’s house, as he ‘lives in a pineapple under the sea’. The Home Sweet Pineapple body balm is bright yellow and incredibly detailed, it even includes SpongeBob’s windows and his front door.
The Home Sweet Pineapple body balm is quite small, fitting snuggly in my hand. It has however lasted me quite some time, I think I’ve used it 3 times now and there’s still plenty more of it to go round.
Home Sweet Pineapple body balm contains fair trade organic cocoa and shea butter, apricot kernel oil, mango butter, fresh pineapple juice, davana oil, tonka absolute and fir balsam resinoid.
The scent of the Home Sweet Pineapple body balm is a brand-new Lush fragrance that was inspired by pineapple cake. The sweet, Summery fruit scent really fits in with the tropical theme of the SpongeBob television series and also leaves your skin smelling good enough to eat!
As soon as the Home Sweet Pineapple body balm touches your skin it slowly starts to melt, it’s best to use on clean, dry skin when it needs a bit of extra moisture. It simply glides over your skin and soaks in like a dream. I love this in a product that is made for moisturising purposes as there’s nothing worse than being stuck with oily skin that never soaks in.
A very small amount of the Home Sweet Pineapple body balm goes a very long way making it excellent value for money. It may be small in size, but you really don’t need a lot per use.
I love its sweet pineapple scent, elements of it actually remind me of the world-famous cocktail, piña colada! I hope that Lush use this scent again in future products as it really is fabulous.
Overall, I loved the Home Sweet Pineapple body balm and am looking forward to future body balm releases from Lush.
