Exotic cosmetics are on the Christmas list of Oxford shoppers after a new shop opened its doors.

Lush, which has set up an outlet in Cormarket Street managed by Michelle Greet, specialises in handmade skin care and bath products made with flower, herb and plant extracts.

It often markets them more like a delicatessen than a beauty outlet.

UK retail director Liz Bennett said: "We are very excited about opening in Oxford, which has been on our target list for some time."
