Lush Karma Kream Review

Saturday 14 March 2015

I’ve tried a good few body lotions from Lush in the past but I’ve somehow overlooked Karma Kream all this time. Considering the fact Karma Kream is one of Lush’s earliest products as well as one of their bestsellers you’d think I’d have slathered this all over myself by now. I guess this is just a case of being fashionably late to the body lotion party. Er, that sounds a little weird doesn’t it?


Karma Kream is an almond oil and cocoa butter infused hand and body lotion. It’s incredibly thick and extremely creamy. I was all for scooping this out of the tub like the instructions said to do but I found lightly dipping my fingers into the product was more than enough to cover various body parts.

This does come with the typical old lady/cola bottle sweet Karma scent which I find to be a little overwhelming. I’m used to the scent now as I’ve been using this body lotion for around 3 weeks but I found it to be far too overpowering the first few days I used Karma Kream. I swear every single time I turned my head I got a good whiff of the Karma scent.


When it comes to the whole moisturising side of things I’m not overly impressed with Karma Kream’s abilities. Sure it moisturises but it’s nothing to shout about. My skin really feels the same as it always has and there are no more or no fewer dry patches.

Although Karma Kream is a thick moisturiser it’s easy to rub in and it soaks into the skin fairly quickly. I say this about every body lotion I use from Lush but honestly, with Karma Kream a little goes an incredibly long way. I’ve barely made a dent in the tub I have despite using it all over myself every morning.


Overall I like Karma Kream but it’s not my favourite thing in the world. I find the patchouli that this body lotion is full of to be a little too excessive and I imagine everyone around me thinks 90 year old women are my scent icons. The moisturising aspect is okay but you get the same results from a £3.00 moisturiser you’d find in your local supermarket.

If you’re a big fan of the Lush Karma scent then I would tell you to try out Karma Kream if you haven’t already but steer clear if you don’t like smelling of old ladies who eat cola bottle sweets; it’s all very overwhelming.
