Valencia Town Center hosts Lush bath bomb workshop with goodie bags

Valencia Town Center hosted a Lush bath bomb making workshop on June 28 from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. on the second floor near The Patios Entrance, turning a mall stop into a hands-on make-and-take session. The two-hour workshop ran during the center’s Sunday hours of 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and the listed price was $15 plus tax, available while supplies lasted.

Participants became a compounder for the day and built a finished bath product they could actually take home. The setup went beyond a standard at-home bath bomb tutorial because it included the retail-side details that hobbyists usually have to work out alone, from choosing scents and colors to mixing, molding and personalizing the final product. Each participant also received a complimentary goodie bag with extra treats, which added a second takeaway to the session.

The workshop fit into a small weekend run of Lush activities at the mall. Valencia Town Center also scheduled a Create Your Own Bubble Bar event for June 27 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., giving the brand two consecutive days to turn the property into a hands-on bath and body destination.

Lush calls itself the inventor of the bath bomb and the home of bath art, and co-founder Mo Constantine invented the first bath bomb in 1989 in her garden shed. The company has created more than 500 bath bomb designs and sold more than 350 million bath bombs globally.

More than 35% of its products are naked, meaning packaging-free, and most of its packaging is made from recycled and recyclable materials, with total recycled content across packaging at about 89%. In a center that combines national retailers, eateries, playgrounds and an IMAX theater, a short, low-commitment workshop with a finished bath bomb and a goodie bag made for a tidy weekend stop.
