I LOVE Lush! But I also LOVE supporting small businesses! Unfortunately, with sensitive skin, it’s often hard to find products from other companies that won’t irritate me for days. Luckily, I found one (so far!) that I can wholeheartedly recommend to those with sensitive and regular skin alike: The Aroma Delights!
I first found Ashley, the founder and CEO of the company on Twitter as part of a thread promoting Black-owned businesses. Immediately, I was captured by the dramatic swirls and popping colors of her confection-like products.
But someone with skin as sensitive (read: annoying) as mine could never use something that looked as amazing and edible as that, right? Wrong!
After DMing with Ashley about her ingredients, I would have happily taken a chance and saved up to buy a few containers, albeit still nervously due to my skin’s pickiness. Before I got the chance, I was lucky enough to win one of her giveaways! (And I never win giveaways!) I was so excited to try her sample pack–a kit including two body scrubs, a whipped soap, and a body cream–and it didn’t disappoint.
In fact, I would recommend Aroma Delights products to any Lush fan who wants to try something new and support a really sweet and authentic businessperson!
Below, I rated each product from my sample pack on a scale from one (horrible, would never get again) to ten (would 100% buy and recommend to anyone). To make shopping even easier for my fellow Lushies, I have included product comparisons so you’re sure to be in love with what you pick.
Pineapple Papaya Scrub

9.5/10
Probably my favorite scrub of the bunch, the Pineapple Papaya body scrub smelled absolutely amazing and leaves a subtle, clean scent on skin. I will definitely be purchasing another container of this!

Blueberry Scrub

8/10
Although this scrub smelled a bit more artificial than its counterparts, I loved how much the scent reminded me of a Jolly Rancher! Its blue candy scent was subtly sweet on the skin, very softening, and didn’t leave any color or residue despite its bright blue hue.
For Lushies who love: Magic Crystals scrub, Celebrate Body Spray
Lavender Vanilla Scrub

8/10
This scrub will be heaven for lavender fans! Very sweet and flowery, it did a great job of exfoliating and softening skin, even on tough areas.

Strawberry Cheesecake Whipped Soap Scrub

10/10
I couldn’t stop smelling this sample! Honestly, I think it smells better than strawberry cheesecake itself. I adore the application of this scrub-whipped soap mix. It feels pleasantly creamy and lightly exfoliating, and leaves skin feeling fresh and softer than ever. Wonderful idea and exemplary execution!
For Lushies who love: Snow Fairy, Rub Rub Rub
Coco Mango Whipped Soap

9.5/10
I fell in love with this whipped soap instantly! I adore the scent, texture, color, and smoothness of its application. My skin emerged super soft and moisturized, and the whipped soap was a pleasure to use. I would love to get my hands on more of this beauty!
For Lushies who love: Dirty Shaving Cream, D’Fluff Shaving Cream
Honey Butter Whipped Soap

8.5/10
I loved the texture and smell of this one: It’s salty-sweet, buttery, and gorgeously creamy. I definitely recommend it to those with dry skin, but my sensitive skin wasn’t in love with my batch of this product, which utilized a different base from the other whipped soap. The new-and-improved formula (made from scratch!) is likely to stop any issues in the future, so give it a try!
For Lushies who love: Popcorn Lip Scrub, D’Fluff Shaving Cream, Honey I Washed the Kids Soap
Cashmere Body Creme

10/10
I saved the best for last! This lotion was literally sent from the heavens. Super thick and creamy, Cashmere has a beautifully complex scent–blueberry, white freesia, wild grape, pomegranate, lily, magnolia, green vines, cashmere, and violet–and a little goes a long way. The formula leaves skin feeling soft, bouncy, and hydrated. It absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave any residue, which is a huge plus, but its effects last long after application. Cashmere even brightened my tattoos! This formula is sensitive skin-approved (for me at least!) and I will definitely be purchasing it by the ton in the near future.
For Lushies who love: Charity Pot lotion, Sleepy lotion, Snowflake lotion
