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.

The organic industry has increased 56% between 2002 and 2006!

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.

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!

Watkins October Spectacular!

Please take a moment to review the following information I have provided below

DON'T do this for me, do it for YOU !

~*~

Don't you love the smell of the Autumn season?

~*~

It bring back so many wonderful family traditions, but making time for it can be difficult these days.
Wouldn't you LOVE to have more time for the important things in life?

Watkins has the solution!

Everyone Does It - Few Get Paid For It - But You Can!
What if I told you that you were already doing things right now, today, in your day to day life, that if you didthem in a certain way, and you did them based on a certain plan, that magically, once a month, a check for$941 would show up in your mailbox?

What would you think about that?
I’m here to tell you that right now, some people are doing these things and they’re getting $941 a month. Otherpeople are doing these same things - but are not getting a check for $941 a month.

OK, I hear you asking – what things are you talking about? Everyone Does What?
Let me explain. Every week, all of us buy stuff, don’t we? We buy things at the grocery store, we buy at the gas station, we buy at the discount store, we buy online... we all buy stuff. We gotta buy stuff, right?

Of course, we’re all buying stuff. Now what if you simply bought the same stuff, but you only bought $20 a week of that stuff from a different place than you’re already buying it?

Then, through some magic that happens after that, a check shows up at the end of the
month, made out to you, for $941. Simply by changing where you buy a few things, to the tune of about $20 a week.

How can that be?
Read on here: http://www.tsgnet.com/pdf/941-Low-Resolution.pdf
This is the beginning of living your dreams!

Request the info you need to start living again: http://www.tsginfo.com/index.php?rc=BA4743

Time is precious and I do thank you for taking a moment of your time to read this!

So, think about the extra time and money you can create to enjoy the Important things in your life!

Please email me with your questions and thoughts

Have a wonderful day! :o)
