Watkins has always been
known for outstanding vanilla products. Now, the calming aroma
of natural vanilla is used to enhance a truly special line of
body care products with skin-softening moisturizers and an
exclusive blend of essential
oils.
The most popular aroma today, either by
itself or as a background note. In aromatherapy, it is a
calming, comforting fragrance, evoking memories of warmth and
home. Centuries ago, it was widely used as an aphrodisiac. As
a fragrance, it subtly enhances all other aromatic notes,
helping to round, soften and blend
The use of vanilla as
a fragrance began many years ago when young girls, forbidden
to wear perfume, sneaked a drop or two of vanilla extract
behind the ears. As any man who came of age in those days of
innocence can testify, it worked. Vanilla is a most appealing
fragrance—irresistible, in a very wholesome sort of way. And
despite vanilla’s reputation for simplicity, it is actually
quite complex, with dozens of flavor components and essential
oils contributing to its mellow, intoxicating
aroma.

Shea
Butter: Your skin has never been pampered like this! Shea butter, cocoa butter and five oils—macadamia nut, avocado, apricot kernel, jojoba and coconut—are whipped for a smooth, spreadable feel that’s perfect after bathing or for in-home manicures and hand massages.
*Hand and Body Lotion*:
This super-rich, nourishing lotion contains soothing aloe vera
gel, panthenol (vitamin B5), vitamin
E, and a moisturizing
complex of natural botanicals in a light, non-greasy
formula. It nourishes dry skin and helps to
keep it feel naturally soft and smooth. You will
appreciate the non-greasy formula - you will never find
yourself 'trapped' in the bathroom because you can't turn the
door knob!
*Body Wash and Bubble
Bath*: This pearlized body wash nourishes
skin with a unique blend of vegetable- and grain-based
moisturizers, emollients, aloe vera gel, natural botanicals,
panthenol (vitamin B5) and oat protein. It's versatile enough
to be used as a shower gel or a
foaming bath, and produces a luxurious
moisturizing lather, yet is gentle and mild and rinses
clean, with no soap film. Body
Bar: This French-milled, all-vegetable
soap moisturizes as it cleans. It contains natural
vegetable glycerin; a natural moisturizer which is mild and
nourishing to the skin. Watkins
Vanilla Body Bar owes its rich, creamy color to the Pure
Watkins Vanilla Extract it contains - there are no
chemical dyes or animal tallow added at all.
- According to beauty experts, glycerin may be a best
friend for someone with dry skin as it shores up the
skin’s natural protection by filling up the area known as
the intercellular layer and by attracting just the right
amount of water to maintain the skin’s homeostasis.
- French-milled is a
term used in
the soap-making industry to describe a process by which a
soap’s ingredients are blended. A soap mill completely
homogenizes all of the ingredients for a smoother texture
and opaque appearance. The milling process drives out much
of the water, resulting in a hard, long-lasting bar. Other
techniques have not been able to duplicate the results of
this classic process; hence, the term “French-milled” has
always been recognized as the mark of
quality.
LipCare:
This is the four-season lip moisturizer for the entire
family. Whatever the season, Watkins Vanilla LipCare is a
hardworking, good-tasting moisturizer that keeps lips soft,
moist, and conditioned day and night. Natural emollients -
beeswax, comfrey, coconut oil and sweet almond oil -
help retain natural lip moisture, prevent chapping and drying
from sun, wind, and cold; keeps lips moist and
comfortable. The handy "stick" form is perfect for your
purse, pocket or backpack.
Cologne: The
wholesome scent of vanilla is preferred by many to overly
aggressive fragrances ... a return to things pure and
simple. In fact, some of today’s most popular designer
fragrances use vanilla as a layer, or even as a topnote.
Vanilla, like other “comfort food” scents, has been shown to
have a positive effect on the subconscious, generating warm
memories of home. It was also widely regarded as an
aphrodisiac in earlier times. Spritz
on our elegant cologne mist; carry the
purse-size “touch-up” rollette to
refresh on the go.
*Dry Oil Body
Mist*: This rich, moisturizing spray leaves
skin feeling soft and smooth. Apricot kernel oil is a
highly-emollient oil similar in texture and property to almond
oil, and is in the same family as olive oil and avocado oil
for its healthy benefits. Vitamin E acts as an
antioxidant that can help keep your skin not only looking
healthier - but actually being healthier! Because it is
an excellent moisturizer and is absorbed easily by the skin to
benefit small blood vessels and help maintain healthy
connective tissue, it will keep your skin looking younger
longer! And because the oil is quickly and
completely absorbed by the skin, it will leave you with
a dry yet soft feeling.
* These
products also contain Watkins exclusive blend of six botanical
essences: Hypericum Extract:
An essential oil with
antibacterial qualities; modern research has found it useful
for softening skin and preventing age
spots. Cornflower Extract:
Said to have tonic and
stimulating properties; soothing qualities make it useful for
cosmetic preparations. Linden Extract:
Has healing and
emollient properties; a long history of use in poultices for
treating skin irritations. Matricaria (German
chamomile) Extract: This
variety of chamomile, also known as “true” chamomile, lends
its soothing qualities to skin preparations. Used in
ancient Arabia as a calming agent. Calendula
Extract: Has a
reputation for reducing scars and soothing varicose veins, and
as an ointment for skin irritations. Chamomile
(Roman) Extract: Like
matricaria, Roman chamomile is one of the most important herbs
for skin care; highly valued for its calming and antiseptic
properties.
