Watkins Natural Body Oils

J.R. Watkins soothing body oils are a rich blend of luxurious natural oils regarded for their anti-aging and nourishing qualities. Pour a small amount into a bath or smooth into skin immediately after bathing—your skin will thank you!

• All body oils are 99.50% natural and above.
• Available in four essences: aloe & green tea, lemon cream, lavender and mango.
• Use in bath or as an all-over body oil.
• Perfect for massages and cuticle care.
• Natural oils include grapeseed, macadamia, apricot, avocado and safflower oil.
• Leaves a soft, non-greasy feel.
• Packaged in Watkins exclusive glass Trial Mark bottle.

Essential Ingredients:

• Grapeseed Oil: Produced from the residue of grapes that have been pressed for wine. Recently
“rediscovered” as a cooking oil for its hearthealthy blend of linoleic acid and antioxidants, it has long been a favorite massage oil. It is cleansing, toning, very light and odorless, and absorbs easily through the skin.

• Macadamia Nut Oil: This rejuvenating body oil has a warm, nutty aroma and excellent spreadability with no greasy feel. Its fatty acid composition is similar to that of natural skin
oils (sebum), including some of the acids that are crucial to the maintenance of the skin’s water barrier functions. It is excellent for daily skin care to moisturize and soften the skin.

• Apricot Kernel Oil: This oil is similar in texture and properties to almond oil (you’ll notice that
the pit of an apricot looks remarkably like an almond), and is in the same category as olive oil
and avocado oil. Apricot kernel oil is considered by many chemists to be an excellent natural
replacement for mineral oil; it is rapidly absorbed by the skin and has a high vitamin E content.

• Avocado Oil: Delivers essential fatty acids, and contains vitamin A (in the form of carotenoids),
plus exceptionally high amounts of vitamins D, E and potassium to help keep skin moist and
smooth. Avocado oil has the highest penetration rate among similar oils.

Ingredients we avoid:

• Parabens
• Sulfates
• Chemical Sunscreens
• Petro Chemicals
• Glycols
• Phthalates
• DEA/TEA-synthetic stabilizers
• Formaldehyde Donors
• 1,4 Dioxanes
• Polymers
• Acrylates
• Carbomer
• PVP
• Chemical Preservatives
• Silicones
• Quats
• Talc

"Although we have one of the oldest and most trusted brands in the country, we are excited about infusing that pioneering spirit with these contemporary products that will appeal to the most savvy of today’s environmentally conscience consumers.

Cold Hard Facts

Cold winter air and dry indoor heat often lead to dry, itchy, irritated skin. If dryness leads to cracking, splitting or bleeding, there is an increased chance of infection. To combat dry winter skin, switch to alcohol-free vegetable-based soaps. Perfumed and deodorant soaps contain alcohol, which further aggravates dry skin. Apply moisturizer such as body oil, lotion or cream immediately after bathing or showering, while your skin is still warm and moist. This helps to trap the water in the skin before it evaporates, lessening dryness and itching. For extremely dry skin areas, use Watkins Petro Carbo Salve to protect skin from cracking. Watkins has a variety of products to help keep skin and lips moist and smooth all winter, including Aloe & Green Tea Hand & Body Lotion, Aloe Lip Balm, and alcohol-free, as well as our All-Natural Body Oils and Lemon Cream Shea Butter for extra moisturizing benefits.

Here's a heads up!

The benefits of green tea just keep pouring in. Besides protecting from heart disease and cancer, improving skin, fighting bad breath, and boosting metabolism, it appears that green tea may also improve the health and appearance of hair and scalp. Women of ancient Japan, recognized for shiny, healthy hair, were known to rinse their hair with green tea for its conditioning properties. Since green tea has been shown to reduce the signs of aging, it stands to reason that it may hold promise in maintaining the hair and scalp of your youth, and preliminary research has shown that green tea may, in fact, help to slow hair loss due to aging and environmental damage (but not genetics). Watkins Aloe & Green Tea Shampoo and Daily Conditioner offer the benefits of green tea, along with aloe and other natural botanicals to soothe and protect the hair and scalp, helping to maintain the hair of your youth—and that's nothing to brush off.

This Will Get Under Your Skin

Good nutrition, or lack of it, can affect all parts of your body, including your outward appearance. Creams and conditioners moisturize and protect, but long-lasting beauty that is more than just skin-deep requires an "inside" job. To keep skin moist and reduce sagging, drink plenty of water. To plump up skin cells and reduce appearance of wrinkles, get plenty of zinc, copper and vitamin C, which are essential for collagen formation. Omega 3 and essential fatty acids help to keep skin and hair moisturized, and antioxidants from grapes and green tea protect from the aging process. If this seems like a lot to swallow, Watkins Skin, Hair and Nails supplement contains all of these ingredients, plus more, to keep your skin, hair and nails looking their best. For those of us who may be experiencing a wrinkle in time, Watkins Skin Hair & Nails may be just what we need to save face!

Here's a Lemon You'll Want to Keep

As the temperature and humidity drop, so does your skin's moisture level. Cold air and dry indoor heat can cause dry, itchy, irritated skin. Hands and other exposed areas often become cracked and even painful due to their exposure to outdoor cold and indoor heat. Now is the time to start protecting your skin from these harsh elements, and Watkins has whipped up something truly special—a Lemon Crème Shea Butter that smells as good as it feels. Shea butter, cocoa butter and five nourishing, skin-softening oils—apricot kernel, avocado, coconut, jojoba and macadamia nut—are whipped together for a smooth, "spreadable" body butter that is absorbed quickly, leaving no oily feel. It protects the skin from harsh elements while sealing in natural moisturizers, leaving skin incredibly soft and smooth. The rich, fresh lemon scent smells so good, there ought to be a lemon law against this!

Use Your Bean

During these uncertain times, more of us are turning to an old favorite for comfort-the vanilla bean. The warm, luxurious aroma of vanilla is often used to ease tension and anxiety and seems to promote feelings of safety and security. Many hospitals use the scent of vanilla during medical procedures and have seen a 63% reduction in patient anxiety. Some hospitals diffuse the aroma of vanilla into waiting rooms to help patients feel calmer and more relaxed, facilitating the healing process. Students take note: Inhalation of vanilla has even been found to improve test scores, perhaps by reducing anxiety in test-takers. Watkins is recognized as the trusted name in vanilla, and is often associated with fond memories. Watkins has taken their world famous Vanilla beyond the kitchen with a complete line of Vanilla personal care products and home fragrances.

Grape News for Your Skin!

The newest anti-aging beauty treatment doesn't require surgery, acid peels or injections. A few dabs of grapeseed oil onto your skin and around the eye area can help diminish fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin's appearance, and make it feel as smooth as silk. In the days of Cleopatra, women applied the leftovers from winemaking directly onto their skin, and those who stomped grapes at Italian wineries noted the smoothness of their skin. It wasn't until recently, however, that the anti-aging and skin beautifying properties were attributed to the oil inside the grapeseeds. You'll find traces of grapeseed oil in some high-end cosmetics, but you'll get the greatest benefits by applying grapeseed oil directly onto the skin. Extremely light and absorbent, Watkins All-Natural Body Oils contain pure, all-natural grapeseed oil in a unique blend of natural plant oils and vitamin E for smooth, vibrant, younger-looking skin.

Don't Get Burned…

Aloe Vera Moisturizing SunBlock SPF-30

Sun Facts: What You Should Know

• 50-80% of a person’s lifetime skin exposure has
been received by age 18.
• As much as 90% of wrinkles and age spots are
directly attributable to sun damage.
• UV exposure has been linked to a weakening in
the body’s immune system.
• Reflected sunlight from water and snow will
cause sunburn also—yes, you can burn in winter,
so protect your face!
• Using sunscreen decreases your core and skin
temperatures, helping you stay cooler during
exercise and other strenuous activity.

• PABA-free sunscreen blend: Blocks harmful
UV-B (burning) and UV-A (tanning) rays
without negative effects.
• Waterproof: Stays on the skin, even while
swimming or perspiring from physical activity.
• Moisturizes while it protects.
• Fragrance-free, tested safe:
No skin irritation
No eye irritation
No facial discomfort
Non-toxic
Safe for children

Essential Ingredients
• Oxybenzone (Benzophenone 3): Blocks UV-A
high end.
• Octinoxate: Blocks UV-A low end and UV-B.
• Octisalate: Blocks UV-B.
• Homosalate: Blocks UV-B.
• Aloe Vera: A pure, natural ingredient obtained
from the leaves of the aloe vera plant. A natural
moisturizer.
• Cocoa Butter: Helps retain the skin’s natural
moisture by preventing it from evaporating.

What Is:
• UV-A/UV-B? There are two types of UV (ultraviolet)
rays: UV-B is the more infamous, being the
variety that burns your skin and can lead to skin
cancer. But UV-A is a deeper-penetrating ray that
pierces into the developing layers of the skin,
disrupting its normal functions and scarring it
forever. This leads to premature signs of aging as
these layers emerge—age spots and wrinkles.
• SPF? The SPF (Sun Protection Factor) of a sunscreen
determines its level of protection. An SPF
of 30 means that it will take your skin approximately
30 times as long to burn as it would with
no sunscreen.

Love the Shea Butters!

One of my many favorite Watkins products is the Mango Shea Butter. The scent is fantastic. Every time I use it I close my eyes and the smell takes me away to a tropical place for a few seconds as I am applying it. Another great reason I love this product is that you don't have to use a large amount of it and or keep reapplying it. My second favorite one is the Lemon Shea butter, oh how it reminds me of lemon meringue pie.

If you are looking for a special treat for yourself or a wonderful gift for someone. This is it!
