A Greater Grapefruit From JR Watkins

09.04.12

Nestled in the Mississippi River Bluff town of Winona, MN., JR Watkins has been America's pioneer in natural living since 1868. As America's original natural apothecary manufacturer, Watkins uses natural ingredients in its diverse lines of personal care and home care.

Its latest creation is a Grapefruit Liquid Hand Soap. Formulated with essential oils, this hard-working blend creates a smooth lather of suds that rinse away, leaving hands exceptionally clean. This liquid hand soap is gentle on palms and knuckles and is attractively packaged in a vertical rectangle shape. And, at $4.99, you really get value as this product is sized well at 11 floz.

The brand also recently debuted a Grapefruit Sugar & Shea Body Scrub ($12.99) and a Foaming Hand Soap ($4.99). The latter features smaller packaging and a somewhat lighter scented soap with good foaming capabilities.
