Fiona Cairns: from baking to beauty

Waitrose & Partners is exclusively launching a new collection of luxury body and bath products from celebrated cake maker Fiona Cairns.

Taking inspiration from her baking, Fiona’s range features floral designs and ingredients such as majestic rose, pink pepper and hints of spice, with undertones of amber and musk.

The selection, named Rose Gourmand, includes a bubble bath, bath oil, shower gel, body butter, sugar scrub, soap bar and hand cream, which will appear on the shelves at the supermarket chain in time for Mother’s Day.

Fiona said she decided to create a bath and body collection having worked with an array of floral and spice extracts in her years of cake making and discovering the benefits of using natural ingredients to revitalise and nourish skin.

She commented: “There’s nothing better than a long soak in the bath for de-stressing, and the floral scents and soothing ingredients in my collection make them an ideal addition to any relaxation routine. I selected natural and sophisticated fragrances to create a warming, floral aroma and a feel of absolute luxury. We have worked with Waitrose & Partners for over 25 years and I’m thrilled to be launching this new venture with them.”

Waitrose beauty buyer Sarah Miness said “We know our shoppers love and trust Fiona Cairns and the brand she has developed over the last 25 years. So when we discovered she was creating a collection of bath and body products, we knew it would fit perfectly on the shelves of Waitrose & Partners.

“More and more people are treating themselves with spa-like routines at home, from soaking in a long bath to using revitalising scrubs and rich, moisturising creams and oils. This Fiona Cairns range will be a well-deserved little luxury for our customers looking for some self-indulgence or the perfect present to gift for Mother’s Day.”

The collection is available in Waitrose shops and online at Waitrose.com, priced from £5 for Rose Gourmand Hand Soap to £12 for Rose Gourmand Bath Oil.
