'Candy Floss' and 'Lemon Sherbet' are the names of two cleansing 'Showder' products from Lush Cosmetics UK. As the hybrid name suggests, these products are shower powders that are made with a base of baking soda. Other unique ingredients in the products include calamine powder, granulated sugar and aromatic essential oils.
In the same way that baking soda is packaged, these products are sold in recyclable cardboard boxes that feature spouts on the side. To use the products, one need only shake a small amount of the powder into the hand and wet it to form an exfoliating paste.
As an alternative to solid bar soaps, consumers are turning to travel-friendly soap shavings, powders and sheets for convenient single-use cleansing.
