Lush Shops Go Dark for Gaza
Lush Cosmetics
On September 3, 2025, Lush shuttered all its UK stores, factories, and its website for a full day to protest what it called the “starvation” of Gaza. Shop windows were emblazoned with “Stop starving Gaza, we are closed in solidarity.” The company estimates losses of about £300,000 for the day, and insists staff were paid. Critics argue such stunts are optics more than sustained commitments.
