In commemoration of Earth Day, Watsons, the leading health and beauty brand under AS Watson Group, proudly introduces the Naturals by Watsons’ Special Edition Blue Beauty range. This special collection, initially launched in Hong Kong, Thailand, and Taiwan markets, is now expanding to Malaysia, Singapore, and soon to the Philippines.

The Plastic Predicament

Every year, a staggering 14 million tons of plastic find their way into our oceans, equivalent to the weight of over 140,000 blue whales. With projections indicating that by 2050, the weight of plastics in the ocean will surpass that of fish, urgent action is needed to combat this crisis. Ocean-bound plastic, defined as abandoned plastic waste within 50km from shores where waste management is lacking, wreaks havoc on marine ecosystems, impacting at least 700 species and causing the deaths of 100 million marine animals annually.

A Sustainable Solution

Malina Ngai, CEO of AS Watson, underscores the far-reaching impacts of ocean-bound plastics and Watsons’ commitment to sustainability. The Naturals by Watsons’ Special Edition Blue Beauty range features bottles made from 100% recycled ocean-bound plastic, marking a significant milestone in their sustainability journey. Ngai emphasizes the importance of raising awareness and invites customers to join the movement in protecting our oceans and marine life. “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. It features bottles made of 100% 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.”

The Blue Beauty Collection

The Naturals by Watsons’ Special Edition Blue Beauty range includes shower gel, body lotion, shampoo, and conditioner, each formulated with over 94% natural origin ingredients. Crafted from 100% recycled ocean-bound plastic, these products offer customers the opportunity to actively contribute to the fight against plastic waste while indulging in sustainable personal care.

Coming Soon to the Philippines

Launching in Watsons Stores across the Philippines by mid-May, the Blue Beauty range offers clean beauty products devoid of 20 unwanted ingredients. Enriched with certified organic Algae sourced from Portugal, each formulation provides powerful results through natural ingredients with deep hydration benefits.
