The NPA Seal
J.R. WATKINS NATURAL APOTHECARY NOW
HAS 40 PRODUCTS CARRYING THE NPA SEAL
With 40 products certified, including the new line extensions of facial and body care, J.R.
Watkins Natural Apothecary is the second most certified brand.
WINONA, Minn., (Nov. 03, 2009) — J.R. Watkins Natural Apothecary has received Natural
Products Association certification for its newest line extensions; Daily Cleansing Cream, Divine
Day Cream, Nourishing Night Cream, Medicated Lip Balm, Peppermint Foot Scrub, Aloe and
Green Tea Shampoo and Body Wash. With the addition of these products, the company now
has the second most products certified out of fourteen companies that currently carry the seal.
This highly regarded seal represents natural products that are formulated with at least 95%
natural ingredients made from renewable and sustainable resources.
The average woman slathers over 125 chemicals onto her scalp, body, face and lips each day.
Wouldn't be such a big deal if they were all cleared by health officials, but only 11% of the
10,500 chemical ingredients that go into making personal care products are actually tested for
safety.*
Meeting the NPA Standard
Products must follow strict guidelines set out by the Natural Products
Association to carry the seal, including:
· At least 95 percent truly natural ingredients or ingredients that are
derived from natural sources.
· No ingredients with any potential suspected human health risks.
· No processes that significantly or adversely alter the purity/effect of the natural
ingredients.
· Ingredients that come from a purposeful, renewable/plentiful source found in nature
(flora, fauna, mineral).
· Processes that are minimal and don't use synthetic/harsh chemicals or otherwise
dilute purity.
· Non-natural ingredients only when viable natural alternative ingredients are
unavailable and only when there are absolutely no suspected potential human health
risks.
