Smells like human suffering!
Lush has released a new Bath Ballistic called 'Guantanamo Garden', a product 'Designed to tell the story of Guantánamo, the ballistic is colored orange like the jumpsuits worn by prisoners and is scented with traces of synthetic civet to give it a hint of animalistic, raw, dark feeling.'

The best part? As it dissolves, a picture of a prisoner floats to the surface of your bath to remind you of their struggles!

Despite this product apparently being meant to 'raise awareness' for Reprieve, none of the profits will be going toward the group.

There is some debate among Lush fans over this oh-so-edgy idea for a product. After all, nothing says 'I care' like spending an assload of money for a bath fizzy!

Edit on 13th March: Lush have decided that all profits from the bath ballistic will now go to the charity so they can have some funds to go with their raised awareness. Isn't ~~a little bad customer reaction~~ life surprising?

	So in other words, they're not sending any of the profits from this sale directly to the charity, just doing the same old charity-send they always do. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	But hey, they're creating awareness for the group, right? And we all know how awareness is just like a big ol' cash donation! I like to be paid in kinds thoughts, myself. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	So, like, if I ordered some stuff from them, could I pay for it by sending them some positive energy when I meditate? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I gave my landlady two sympathetic glances and a warm greeting for rent this month and there was change! She gave me back a withering stare and a handful of hostile intentions. (Reply to this)(Parent)
