Lush invents a record made of soap to sing Happy Birthday when you wash your hands

Even before the Prime Minister unveiled his coronavirus action plan, Lush were busy in the lab working on something musical to promote how long you should be washing your hands for.

The innovative new soap record can be listened to and then broken up into pieces for people wash their hands.

Scented with Lush’s Snow Fairy candy bubblegum fragrance and with a moisturising rapeseed oil soap base, it was initially inspired for Lush party shops for children's birthday gatherings.

Made in a similar way to a regular vinyl record, the music is first cut onto a lacquer disk and a metalwork created from that. Then, at the final stage, the soap base is poured onto the metalwork and set to create a soap record that plays.

Mira Manga & Rhodri Marsden perform the song, which was also produced by Rhodri.

Though Lush shops are currently closed, the soap can be ordered online at https://uk.lush.com/products/handmade-soap
