Cheaper substitute for Ultrabland Lush

[MartySouth]

I think ultrabland by Lush is amazing. I started using it a few years ago and it is absolutely the best cleanser I have ever used. This sounds like an advert but it's true, my skin has consistently looked and felt so much better since I started using it. When I look at photos of me from the past I can really tell the difference.

But, first of all I think it's quite expensive (£17 for 100g) especially given that the ingredients aren't rare or expensive. Secondly, it includes parabens which I'd rather avoid. Lastly, there isn't a Lush store near me and I have to remember to order online or make a special journey to buy it.

Does anyone know of anything you can get in Boots or Superdrug or similar which is cheaper and has similar ingredients and does the same? It's a creamy oil based cleanser with almond oil, beeswax and honey among other ingredients.

Could you make your own. I'm sure there are homemade dupes on line.

I used to use angels on bare skin and found a homemade version that I used.

Thanks for the reply. I have found recipes for a homemade version and I think I will try it. I just need to source beeswax. We have bee keepers in our area and I have bought honey from them. Not sure if people who produce honey are also a good source of beeswax?

There are various discussion of this on other places in the internet so I'm not the only one to notice that ultrabland is good but over priced. Some people recommend Body Shop chamomile cleanser but this seems to have a very low proportion of natural ingredients. Waitrose baby bottom cream has similar ingredients to the Body Shop cleaner at a tiny fraction of the price but still not the magic combination of ingredients in ultrabland.
