To celebrate Earth Day, Watsons launched their Naturals by Watsons' Special Edition Blue Beauty range in Hong Kong, Thailand, and Taiwan, with plans to expand to Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines. This eco-friendly line features recycled ocean-bound plastic bottles and over 94% natural ingredients.
Millions of tons of plastic (14 million annually) pollute our oceans, reaching weights comparable to over 140,000 blue whales. By 2050, plastic is expected to outweigh fish in our oceans. Ocean-bound plastic, abandoned plastic waste near poorly managed shorelines within 50km, is a major culprit. This plastic pollution harms at least 700 marine species and kills an estimated 100 million marine animals every year.
“Ocean-bound plastics have far-reaching impacts, not only on the ocean but also on our habitat. To raise awareness of ocean-bound plastic, Watsons has launched Naturals by Watsons’ Special Edition Blue Beauty range," said Malina Ngai, CEO of AS Watson. "It features bottles made of 100 percent recycled ocean-bound plastic, representing an important milestone in our ongoing efforts to promote sustainability. The new range encourages our customers to join us in protecting the ocean and marine life, inspiring them to love their skin while loving the planet.”
Naturals by Watsons’ Special Edition Blue Beauty range consists of shower gel, body lotion, shampoo, and conditioner. Each product is formulated with over 94 percent natural origin ingredients and every bottle is crafted from 100 percent recycled ocean-bound plastic. By choosing the new range, customers can actively contribute to the fight against plastic waste in our ocean while enjoying high-quality and sustainable personal care products. This range is part of Watsons' initiatives to support AS Watson Group’s pledge to reduce the overall impact of plastics used in its exclusive brand packaging.
Naturals by Watsons' Special Edition Blue Beauty is set to launch in Watsons Stores across the Philippines by mid-May, offering a clean beauty line devoid of 20 unwanted ingredients. Each product features a formulation enriched with certified organic Algae sourced from Portugal, delivering powerful results through natural ingredients with deep hydration benefits.
