Is there anyone here who sells Watkins Apothecary products? I wanted to carry some of their natural skincare and cleaning products, but wasn't sure about how it would work in a retail setting.

Also, does anyone here buy any Watkins products? Do you like them?

Hi Cristine,

I have used their organic spices and didn't find them as good as frontier brand. I only use organic. I've been hooked on Shaklee organics line for cleaning, since I have chemical sensitivity and won't use anything else.
You may check out joining Watkins yourself and selling at the discount for being a distributor.

I have bought Watkins wherever the option presented itself since I saw the movie Door to Door a few years ago. I buy their spices, vanilla extract, and some wonderful mint foot lotion...I like their products...

They have some natural cleaning products that I was interested in, but I'm not trying to buy a case and just have it set here. I really love their old style labeling!! I'm not so sure about their "natural" skincare...

Greetings Ladies,

I use the spices, and vanilla. I also use the Body Oil (Lemon) after my shower and the Lemon scented Shea butter creme. They both remind me of Lemon Merrienge Pies.

I sold it up to a couple years ago, but do not at the present.

I love the products. I quit selling it here because WalMart sells most of it now. I have not tried the cleaning products, but I'm sure they are good.

I love Watkins products and buy them sometimes. I love the vanilla, cinnamon and that mint foot lotion too.

Our walmart sells a few things. Watkins told me on the phone that Walmart will never be allowed to carry the full line because of the independants. So they only carry a few lotions and the organic spices. I just cant manage to buy a whole case of everything! I would love to carry a few things of theirs in the store, but...maybe someday.

I just cleaned with mine! I get it at Target they have most of the cleaner and lotions. But I love Meyers scurb for the tub.
