J.R. Watkins has been blending plant-based personal care and cleaning products in Winona, Minnesota since 1868 — the country’s oldest continuously operating natural-products company. The foaming hand soap is the modern update on Watkins’ old mercantile product line: plant-based surfactants, real essential oils, and the same emphasis on simple ingredient lists that built the brand 150+ years ago.
The Lemon Foaming Hand Soap uses real lemon essential oil for the scent — bright, crisp, not candy-sweet the way most ‘lemon-scented’ soaps are. Plant-derived cleansers rinse away completely without stripping skin, and the 9oz foaming pump delivers enough suds to clean hands without over-using soap. 3-pack gives you refills for the kitchen, bathroom, and utility sink.
J.R. Watkins manufactures its personal-care line at its Winona, Minnesota headquarters — the same town where founder J.R. Watkins started selling natural-remedy products door-to-door in 1868. The company remains privately held and American-made.
