Lush is incredible. They are an international chain store with Berkeley attitude - lots of vegan products clearly marked, no toxic chemical fragrances, whole foods like seaweed and mango puree in their products. This store is your gateway to an awesome bath experience: glowing soap bars like slices of stained glass, bar shampoos (expensive here but longer-lasting than liquid) fizzing bath balls, nubby massage bars, bath melts that release gorgeous oils to moisturize your whole body.... I may move in here. (Best of all, this location is almost next door to a really incredible chocola store.)
