There are certain seasonal launches we wait for every year, and LUSH Halloween is absolutely one of them. While Halloween beauty can very quickly become a sea of black packaging and pumpkin-shaped everything, LUSH has perfected the art of making spooky season ridiculously fun.
Its 2026 collection is no exception, packed with ghosts, witches, monsters, pumpkins, black cats and enough gloriously weird bath creations to make us seriously consider cancelling our evening plans.
This year’s theme is particularly relatable: ghost the grind. LUSH is encouraging us to leave the world on read, abandon the doomscroll and disappear into the bathroom for a little spooky self-care instead.
And frankly, we’re sold.
Returning favourite Ghostie Bath Bomb, $11, is back with its rainbow-filled fizz and popping candy crackle, while Plague Doctor, $12, might be one of the coolest bath bombs we’ve seen this year. The tiny beaked doctor combines rosemary and sage oils, then gets hand-sprayed with gold lustre.

Then there is Monster Scare Bear, $10, a little green monster scented like blue raspberry sweets, and the very literal Toffee Apple Bath Bomb, $18, complete with its stick and a skin-softening blend of maple syrup, illipe and kokum butter. Pumpkin Pumpkin, $12, delivers the classic Halloween aesthetic with cinnamon leaf, sweet wild orange oils and organic pumpkin powder.

But we have a particular soft spot for Bewitched Bubble Bar, $15.50. The black cat has returned with its mischievous yellow-eyed grin, creating blackberry-scented bubbles with a rich, juicy berry fragrance. It’s cute, slightly creepy and exactly the sort of thing we want sitting beside the bath throughout October.
The collection isn’t just for bath people, either. Boo Shower Gel, $18, brings a woody cedarwood fragrance alongside glycerine, seaweed extract and bergamot oil, while the ghostly Carefree Spirit Shower Jelly, $22 uses LUSH’s Milky Bath fragrance with oatmeal extract.

Things get wonderfully strange with Creature Of The Night Shower Jelly, $22, which actually hides a facial gummy inside, while Witch’s Hand Shower Gummy, $20, is quite literally a bright green witch’s hand with individually hand-painted purple fingernails. It’s ridiculous. We love it.
For something slightly more grown-up, Silvery Moon Soap, $13.50, might be the sleeper hit of the collection. The shimmering crescent moon contains Turkish rose oil and violet extract water and is made using “moon water”, which LUSH leaves under the moonlight overnight to “charge” before blending it into the soap. Witchy skincare? Obviously we’re interested.
Boo Bear
There are also some excellent gifting options. Boo Bears, $35, contains three monster-themed bear bath bombs, including two gift-exclusive designs, while House Of Horrors, $64, is essentially Halloween in a box, with Pumpkin Pumpkin, Ghostie, Bewitched and the gift-exclusive Witch House bath bomb.

For the full spooky-season commitment, Season Of The Witch, $115, bundles six products including Witch’s Hand, Boo Shower Gel, Toffee Apple and Bewitched, all wrapped up in a 100 percent recycled box illustrated by Iain Burke.
And perhaps our favourite concept of all is the Pumpkin Tea Light Bath Bomb, $33. Before it ever touches the water, the pumpkin can hold a tealight to create a glowing little Halloween decoration. Once the candle has gone out, you can drop the whole thing into the bath, where pine oil gives it a warm, woody, forest-like fragrance.
LUSH produced more than 3.2 million Halloween products globally last year, including 1.7 million bath bombs, so clearly we’re not alone in our annual obsession. Ghostie alone accounted for more than 103,000 products.
The 2026 Halloween collection is available now, and yes, we will absolutely be haunting the bath until November.
