Bubble bath and shower products, which are usually sold in bottles in liquid form in other establishments, are mostly solid or semi-solid in Lush. Lush's founders popularized solid bath bombs and solid bubble bars. Products such as the popular 'Karma' (Lush's signature fragrance) have been made into bubble bars, soap, lotion, bath bombs, dusting powder, and solid shampoo.
