Buy J.R. Watkins products online in Canada
J.R. Watkins is a historic American brand that produces natural personal care, home cleaning, and gourmet pantry products rooted in apothecary traditions and plant-based formulations. J.R. Watkins was founded in 1868 by Joseph Ray Watkins in Plainview, Minnesota, making it one of the oldest continuously operating natural product companies in the United States. J.R. Watkins began by selling natural liniments and health remedies door-to-door, earning trust through its money-back guarantee—an innovative approach at the time that laid the foundation for its long-standing reputation for quality and integrity. During World War II, J.R. Watkins devoted much of its production to support the Allied war effort, manufacturing products like dried eggs, powdered juice packets, vitamin tablets, and hospital germicides.
Originally known as the J.R. Watkins Medical Company, it focused on wellness remedies like the famous Watkins Liniment, used for pain relief and household first aid. Over time, J.R. Watkins expanded its offerings to include a wide range of personal care products—such as hand creams, body washes, lip balms, and bar soaps—as well as home cleaning products like all-purpose sprays, dish soaps, and air fresheners, and pantry staples including baking extracts, spices, and seasoning blends.
J.R. Watkins emphasizes clean, cruelty-free, and environmentally responsible formulations, using plant-based ingredients free from parabens, dyes, phthalates, and animal testing. Many of its products are packaged in vintage-inspired designs, evoking a sense of nostalgia that connects modern consumers with the brand’s 19th-century apothecary roots. The product line expanded from the original camphor and red pepper liniment to include baking extracts, spices, personal care items, bath soaks, cough rubs, menthol drops, vitamin supplements, and cleaning supplies. Signature scents such as Aloe & Green Tea, Lemon Cream, Coconut Milk & Honey, and Lavender reflect the company’s commitment to sensory experience as well as natural wellness.
J.R. Watkins continues to maintain a strong presence, appeal to health-conscious consumers seeking safe, effective, and beautifully crafted alternatives to conventional household and body care items. With more than 150 years of history, J.R. Watkins stands as a pioneer in natural living, maintaining its original promise of trusted remedies and everyday essentials—delivered with authenticity, transparency, and timeless American craftsmanship.
