Award-Wining Products Made with the World’s Finest Ingredients:

Just as when J.R. Watkins founded this company in 1868, Watkins is committed to offering outstanding natural products of superior quality and value.

To achieve these high standards, Watkins has always used only the finest ingredients—herbs and botanicals from the world’s best growing regions.

And because we have our own factory, chemists, quality assurance, and many years of experience, we are able to maintain the most stringent quality standard—the Watkins standard.

As a testament to that quality, Watkins Vanilla, Cinnamon, and Pepper received the Gold Medal of Honor at the 1928 World Expo in Paris, France.

Today, we’re proud that our line of over 350 gourmet, personal- and home-care products adheres to the same high-quality standards that have been in place for more than 138 years.

The World’s First Money-Back Guarantee

Since J.R. Watkins pioneered the money-back guarantee back in 1869 with his unique “Trial Mark Bottle,” we have stood behind our products.

The back of the bottle featured a line molded into the glass, nearly a third of the way down. The customer was encouraged to use the product risk-free down to the line. If the customer was not satisfied with the product’s performance, J.R. would refund his or her money with no questions asked.

This represented the world’s first money-back guarantee, and we still honor it today with every product in our line:

“If a Watkins product used in your home is, for any reason, considered not to be satisfactory, please return it for full refund of purchase price.”

A Wide-Variety with Something For Everyone

Originally called, “The J.R. Watkins Medical Company,” our emphasis was on medicinal products.

But along with our legendary Red Liniment, Watkins became famous for its gourmet spices and extracts, including the now-famous Watkins Vanilla. We even produced herbal supplements long before the vitamin industry reached its peak.

Today, we produce…

• Gourmet foods ranging from award-winning spices & extracts, to grapeseed oils, teas, condiments and sauces
• Herbal personal care products and medicinals
• Cutting-edge dietary supplements for all lifestyles
• Powerful cleaning products with earth-friendly ingredients and biodegradable formulas

Although we are proud of our past, we never live in it. You can trust our product line to continue to evolve and represent the needs of today’s consumers.

With something for everyone, Watkins products appeal to almost everyone.

Essential Products People Need and Use

Most importantly, our diverse line of products consists of essential products—products that people need and use to enhance their everyday lives. This is what makes our business recession-proof and has kept us going strong for over a century.

Many other companies sell decorator items, kitchen gadgets, toys, and other products for the home. While they may be of excellent quality, they’re pretty much non-essentials.

Watkins products are items that we all use every day, in every facet of our lives. Many Watkins products of superior quality can replace everyday grocery-store brands.

Of course, this is a great benefit to our Associates because the repeat business from satisfied customers can produce a very nice income—and it’s also an advantage to the customers themselves.
