An eco-friendly beauty brand opened its doors today in a Southampton shopping centre.

Bringing almost 20 new jobs to the city, Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics opened for business this morning in Westquay.

The chain opened its first Southampton branch in East Bargate Street in 2000.

After announcing the plan to open the store, Westquay general manager Andy Collyer said: “We are delighted to be at the forefront of Lush’s expansion plans within Southampton, welcoming them to our strong repertoire of stores here at Westquay.”
