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.

For the next few editions of Watkins Enews, we would like to share some interesting sales facts regarding natural and organic products.
Organic product sales have increased 17.1% over 2007 which is $24.6 billion dollars. This study included organic foods and beverages and non-food categories which includes organic fibers, personal care products and pet food. Organic food which is 93% of all organic products sold in the U.S. grew 15.8% in 2008 to reach $22.9 billion dollars. Organic food sales account for 3.5% of all food product sales in the U.S. This number has nearly doubled in the past five years.
Non-food organic product sales have grown by 39.4% to $1.6 billion dollars. The sales of non-food organic products are growing faster than organic food.
US sales of organic food and beverages have grown from $1 billion dollars in 1990 to an estimated $20 billion dollars in 2007, and are projected to reach nearly $23.6 billion dollars in 2008. Total U.S. organic sales, including food and non-food products, were $17.7 billion dollars in 2006, up 21% from 2005. They are estimated to have reached $21.2 billion dollars in 2007 and are projected to surpass $25 billion dollars in 2008.

Black Pepper
Beat bloating!
Season meats with pepper before you grill them: When the sharp taste hits your tongue, the taste triggers your brain to produce a special protective acid that lines the stomach, preventing bloating, and indigestion before it starts. "In fact, heartburn is the result of too little of this particular acid in the stomach".
Piperine, the main alkaloid in black pepper, also stimulates enzymes that help break down food and even help the body absorb nutrients-so food becomes even healthier! In fact, research reports it can protect against major health problems such as stomach ulcers and cancers of the digestive tract.

Living Naturally
These days everyone is making a greater effort to conserve the planet's resources. Words like carbon footprint, sustainability, and green have become common place in our society. We're all taking a closer look at how our day-to-day activities affect the resources we have for future generations. Watkins has been a pioneer in living naturally since 1868. And here are just a few of the things that we do corporately to support the sustainability of our resources.
Utilize biodegradable packing materials.
Use soy based ink on printed marketing materials.
Adhere to strict paper, plastic and aluminum recycling program.
Employ e-communications and encourage customers, Associates, and vendors to obtain information online instead of in printed form.
Utilize Lean business and manufacturing practices to help eliminate waste and streamline operations.
At Watkins we promise to continue to take measures to insure the sustainability of our planet's resources for your family and ours.
Green Up your Clean Up
Here are a few simple tips to Green up your cleaning efforts using Watkins natural cleaning products. Not only will your home thank you... your family will thank you for leaving those harsh chemical concoctions at the store.
Living Rooms: Using J.R. Watkins Lemon Furniture Polish and a good microfiber cloth dust all the surfaces in your living room. This gentle polish is perfect for finished and unfinished wood, formica, particle board and vinyl. And because it is made from natural olive oil, it gently loosens and removes fingerprints, smudges and dirt. Here's a quick tip: Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter. It sucks up dust particles and doesn't spit them back out, so you don't have to dust what you have already dusted!

Good and Green
What is Green?
"Green" living is a way of life that considers the consequences of ones actions on the environment. It is a way of conducting life in an effort to preserve environmental quality.
Watkins is taking steps to preserve environmental quality in all of our product categories. But in this newsletter we want to focus on how our natural home care line is a step ahead of the rest.
Unlike food, the home care category has no governing agency that defines what ingredients are and are not considered "natural." Watkins wanted to make sure that when we called our cleaning products natural, it really meant something. So we decided to set a new standard, and we set it high. The natural standard we defined became our natural home care freedom code. This code includes ingredients that are considered harmful to the environment that you will not find in our home care products. Some are simply non-renewable like Petroleum, some can cause respiratory irritation like Ammonia, while others are just synthetics like dyes and colorants. Watkins has been working hard to set the industry standard for natural home care products and we are proud to say that there is no other natural cleaning brand in the country that holds themselves to a higher standard or a stricter freedom code than Watkins.
Now what does this freedom code mean to you and your customers? It means you get to use a product that truly is natural from a company committed to supplying you with natural products. And it really gives you an edge over the competition.
Set yourself and your customers free with Watkins!
