Why We Prefer Watkins Toothpaste

Wednesday, April 18th, 2007

I was starting to get a bit worried, one of the products we use every day has been unavailable since February. I am pleased to announce Watkins Peppermint Toothpaste (02332) is in stock and available to order in both the US and Canada. Fortunately I did have enough stock on hand for my local customers and our family.

We prefer Watkins toothpaste because it whitens your teeth without harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. The high foaming formula helps fight cavities with fluoride and prevents tartar while freshening your whole mouth with mint. We love the natural mint flavor which is complemented by all natural parsley seed and sunflower oils for long-lasting freshness. You really can have it all, a cleaner mouth, fresher breath and a whiter smile all in one tube!

I’m sure that you’ll love Watkins Peppermint Toothpaste too.

Due to an unforeseen formula issue Watkins Vanilla Lip Care, product # 02979 is temporarily unavailable in both the United States and Canada. Watkins is working hard to bring this popular lip balm back and anticipate this product will be available again in late June/early July. No backorders are being taken.

What Does Baseball Pitcher Johan Santana Use For Aches And Pains?

Thursday, April 12th, 2007

If you are a baseball fan you’ve probably heard of Johan Santana who plays for the Minnesota Twins. He has been using Watkins Red Liniment for years to relieve muscle aches and pains brought on by his strenuous career as a professional baseball pitcher. Watkins is very proud to announce that Johan Santana is officially endorsing Watkins Red Liniment!

Santana says, “I’ve never endorsed any products that I don’t personally believe in and use myself. My endorsement of Watkins Liniment is no exception, and I am proud to be associated with and give my support to such a great historical company as Watkins.”

Santana has used Watkins Red Liniment since 2002 to help relieve pain and tightness for muscles, helping his baseball career. “For years I tried several different forms of pain and tightness relief products with no success,” said Santana. “One day the Minnesota Twins trainer suggested I try applying Red Liniment and I was amazed that I got instant relief! Since that day, I have continued to use Red Liniment — not only for my hamstring muscles but also for my arm and neck muscles — and have recommended it to other athletes.”

Mark Jacobs, President and CEO of Watkins Incorporated says, “It’s an amazing honor and privilege to have someone of Johan Santana’s caliber endorsing one of our products. Having one of the world’s greatest pitchers use and trust the Watkins brand for his natural pain relief is clearly one of the greatest highlights in our company’s 139-year history.”

With an endorsement like that it’s not surprising that the first product ever sold by J.R. Watkins is still a favorite today and is sure to be in the future. Red Liniment is made with natural camphor and works by stimulating nerve receptors that feel heat, masking the feeling of pain and relieving the discomfort of minor muscle pain, soreness and stiffness. Sold in our shatter proof bottle, it makes the perfect addition to your pain relieving arsenal. Order your Red Liniment now.
