At the heart of Look Good, Feel Great is DO GOOD, which Watsons has been advocating for years. The world looks good when communities are flourishing in a clean environment from “clean ocean” initiatives to “clean beauty” protocol. The spirit of doing good is deeply ingrained in the Watsons culture as tracing back to its first dispensary in 1841, its founder, Alexander Skirving Watson provided free medicine to the needy. And today, this heritage lives on when everyone feels great when communities are thriving – encouraging employees, customers and partners to live physically and mentally healthy lives.
