Ginger adds a zing with new Lake District bath & body range

Grasmere Gingerbread and Pure Lakes Skin Care collaborate to launch new skin care range

A celebration of Cumbria’s first female entrepreneur

We’re thrilled to announce a new business collaboration to develop a new range of bath & body products using the traditional medicinal and therapeutic properties found in Ginger. The new range will be called ‘Sarah’s Range’, after our iconic figure Sarah Nelson, Cumbria’s first female entrepreneur and pioneer of the world-famous Grasmere Gingerbread.  

The first product is a hand balm, called Sarah Nelson's Hand Balm for hard working hands.It is made from a luxurious mix of Beeswax, Coconut and Shea Butter with the addition of ginger and orange. The product is ideal for day to day use and will alleviate dry and flaky skin.  It comes in a 55gram glass jar with a metal screw top lid. The product will be available for sale from 1st June from either the shop or via our mail order service – Click Here to Order

Ginger has been used for its medicinal and therapeutic properties for centuries, so we feel it makes sense to utilise its invigorating natural qualities in a range of natural skin products.  Developing a new Ginger-based product range has been very exciting. The experience has been all the better through working with our dear friend and business neighbour Sandra Blackburn, owner and founder of award-winning Pure Lakes Skin Care.

Sandra Blackburn, founder of Pure Lakes Skin Care commented:  “We find the story of Sarah Nelson very inspiring and feel it right and fitting to name a product range after her. As a raw ingredient, Ginger provides warmth and has excellent therapeutic properties that could provide some relief to those suffering from stiffness in the joints. We’re thrilled to be able to work with Grasmere Gingerbread on this project.”

About Pure Lakes Skin Care

In 2002, Sandra Blackburn started making natural skin care products for her own use. This ‘hobby’ extended to special concoctions for family and friends and eventually resulted in a wide range of eco-friendly, natural toiletries and skin care products being hand made using sustainably sourced raw materials. These can now be purchased via their website www.purelakes.co.uk and in a growing number of shops within the Lake District. 

Please note: Sarah’s range is exclusive to Grasmere Gingerbread® and can only be purchased directly from us.
