Their full statement reads: "Across the Lush business we share the anguish that millions of people feel seeing the images of starving people in Gaza, Palestine. "One thing Lush can currently send into Gaza is our love and a strong message that we stand in solidarity. This will take the form of halting business-as-usual by shutting our UK shops, website and factories for one day on Wednesday 3rd September 2025, with our shop windows displaying the message STOP STARVING GAZA – WE ARE CLOSED IN SOLIDARITY. However, we know that many of our customers share the same anxiety about the current situation in Gaza. "Whilst Lush is losing a day of takings, this also means that the UK Government is losing a day of tax contributions from Lush and our customers.
