Šipak

Skin in a bit of a jam? Spread on delightfully brightening pomegranate, along with a healthy serving of hydrating rosehip oil for a sweet and soothing pick-me-up. Sprinkle on some calamine powder and kaolin to sweep up any excess oils for a glowing complexion, straight from the pot.

Co-Create is a product creation programme for Lush staff, aiming to promote diversity, inclusion, equity and belonging by lifting up authentic stories from respective communities. Co-creator Samra shares her inspiration for this Eid al-Adha product:

"I wanted to create something hydrating and soothing, with ingredients and a fragrance to encapsulate the same smell of Šipak spread, a rosehip jam that’s very popular in the Balkans. The inspiration behind this comes from my childhood where my mom would make this balkan crepe (also known as Palačinke) and I would spread Šipak all over the palacinke, roll it up, and snack away! If you needed a quick breakfast or late night snack, palačinke was the way to go."
