Our Story
“It’s a real honour to see people at their most happy and carefree, coming inside after days in the fresh air. They have that warm glow about them; that natural relaxed feeling, as well as the exhilaration from being active amongst the elements.”

OUR SHORELINE
A wide sandy bay on the North Coast of Cornwall; a place where invigoration and calm, alert and serene are endlessly intertwined.
Winding along the cliff path, gazing at isolated patches of sunlight on the sea. Floating ‘out back’ beyond the whitewater, waiting to catch an unbroken wave. Curling up in a window seat with an eye-opening book, while a storm rages outside. Showering after a swim, before sunset dinners and stargazing on the deck…
Active Relaxation
This ‘active relaxation’ lifestyle that sparked the land&water collection has its roots at Watergate Bay Hotel in Cornwall; land&water founder Pix Ashworth’s family’s hotel.
As well as appreciating time out on the beach and cliffs herself, Pix has spent many years witnessing the joyful “warm glow” radiating from Watergate Bay guests after days swimming, surfing or walking on the beach.
Bottling that feeling
And so Pix and her team set about capturing that feeling; to, quite literally, bottle it. Created in collaboration with leading apothecarist and perfumer Richard Howard, the land&water collection translates this emotion – and its distinctive blend of invigoration and calm – into its natural bath & body products.
Each recipe uses natural essential oils and actives to evoke the therapeutic benefits of time in the elements, recreating the fresh skin invigoration we feel on the shoreline. The whole collection also embodies painstaking care for the environment that has inspired it.
