Ltd (Beatrix Potter’s publisher and owner of THE WORLD OF PETER RABBITTM), the new range features five individual new products, along with a new gift set.
In addition to being a successful author and illustrator, Potter was a conservationist, and one of the key figures in the early days of the National Trust , helping to protect the Lake District’s landscapes for future generations.

Hill Top is the charming farmhouse and rural retreat of Beatrix Potter.
It is renowned as the inspiration for many of the illustrations in her little books. Cared for by the National Trust, you can see original artwork and changing displays as well as many of Beatrix’s most treasured things. See more at www.

As a special tribute to Beatrix Potter’s life and work, the collection is being launched at Hill Top, her historic farm, where it will be used in the bathrooms and available for purchase in the on-site shop.

“With my family’s deep-rooted connection to Beatrix Potter—my great-grandparents were her contemporaries and neighbours—this collection is a heartfelt celebration of her remarkable life and pioneering achievements. Like Beatrix, I am passionate about sustaining a way of life in the Lakes that is constantly pressured by the high cost of living, particularly the lack of affordable housing.

” Beatrix Potter was not only a beloved storyteller and artist but also a dedicated conservationist whose efforts were instrumental in shaping the early work of the National Trust. She used the proceeds from her books to purchase and protect large areas of farmland, ensuring they remained unspoiled for future generations. Her passion for preserving the Lake District resonates with Pure Lakes Skincare’s ethos of creating natural, ethical skincare.
The launch of the BEATRIX range at Hill Top pays homage to her life, offering visitors a sensory experience tied to the world she cherished. The BEATRIX range will be available for purchase at Hill Top and through the Pure Lakes Skincare website. https://www.
