Cosmetics retailer Lush has introduced its first-ever consumer facing home technology product.
The brand, which has it head office in Dorset, creates fresh cosmetics with an aim of saving the planet by not testing on animals, creating a conscious supply chain and giving back to the planet.
The new Bath Bot sits in water to provide a fun light, sound and colour display. It is identical in size and shape the brand's bath bombs and features a domed convex speaker for 180-degree sound and full-spectrum multidirectional lights.

The Bath Bot can also be paired with the Lush Bathe app via Bluetooth and any of the brand's bath bombs.
As part of this, users select modes such as Sleepy Mode, Fun Mode and Rave Mode to listen to audio as the floating speaker projects an aquatic light-scape of colours across the water.
Lush's new Bath Bot has been designed to elevate the bathing and wellbeing experience. It has been invented, engineered and manufactured by the brand's in-house Tech and Digital teams in the º£½ÇÊÓƵ over the course of five years.
Lush’s chief digital officer, Jack Constantine, said the glueless design and sustainability of Bath Bot means “the product is an industry first, there’s nothing else quite like it".
Mr Constantine continued: "At Lush, we believe in making immersive, handmade products and that same ethos is carried into our first tech product, Bath Bot. With Bath Bot and the Lush app, our goal is to use tech for good – for unique and sensory-transformational experiences. Unlike other artificial bots that manipulate or frustrate you, Lush Bath Bot is likeable and honest."
