What Caught Our Eye
Lush × The Grinch, a holiday collection bringing sour-apple scents, mischievous green bath-time characters and a little Who-ville spirit to your bathroom, with a packaging-free bath bomb and a shower gel in a recycled-plastic bottle among the finds.
Why We Noticed
Even the Grinch deserves a chance to clean up his act.
Lush’s handmade collection takes the famously grouchy Christmas character into the bath and shower, with playful textures and a sour-green-apple fragrance running through the range.

The Grinch Bath Bomb brings his unmistakable face to the tub, fizzing into a swirl of yellow and green. Grapefruit oil adds a citrus note to the sour-apple scent—an invitation to soak away a little holiday grumpiness.
For those who prefer a shower, Sour Grinch Shower Gel turns the same fragrance into a lather, with fresh apple extract and onion seed oil. And yes, Lush says the onion seed oil comes without the onion smell.
Then there’s the Grouchy Grinch Shower Gummy, a wobbly, lathering character that makes the collection feel as much like playtime as personal care. Lush’s directions even suggest patting him dry and sticking him to your shower tiles between uses.

Go On…
The Grinch may be famous for taking things, but this bath bomb leaves you with one less thing to throw away.
It arrives “naked,” as Lush calls it—no individual wrapper or bottle. Keep it somewhere cool and dry until you’re ready, then drop it into the tub and let the green mischief unfold.

More of a shower person? The Sour Grinch Shower Gel brings the sour-apple fun in a bottle made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic. When you’ve squeezed out the last suds, check your local recycling instructions to help that bottle get another turn.
Both are part of a bigger Lush story. If you’ve ever picked up one of the brand’s solid shampoo bars or carried home an unwrapped soap, you’ve already met its approach to cutting back on bathroom packaging. Lush also offers a Bring It Back program for eligible containers, giving you a reason to save your empties for your next shop visit.
Add the company’s longstanding fight against animal testing and commitment to ethical buying, and there’s more to explore here than a seasonal scent.
For now, though, a sour-apple soak and a little less bathroom clutter sound like a pretty good way to give your inner Grinch the evening off.
