Singapore’s leading beauty and health retailer, Watsons, will launch 100% natural New Zealand skincare brand, The Herb Farm, into the Singapore market in April 2017.

“We are really excited to bring our truly natural skincare products to Singapore and be working with such an established and respected company as Watsons”, said Sarah Cowan, Managing Director of The Herb Farm. “Singapore is very competitive but an important market to be in to showcase our brand to Asia and Watsons are a dynamic and savvy partner for this market”.

The Herb Farm secured distribution with Watsons Singapore through experienced FMCG importer and agent, Optimo Foods PTE Ltd who are committed to making quality natural products accessible to consumers.

Watsons Singapore will showcase 9 of The Herb Farm products in 20 of their key stores, with the intention to increase the distribution and range as the brand becomes established in the market.

Shirley Lee, Trading Controller at Watsons Singapore, was pleased to welcome The Herb Farm into their range. “The Herb Farm’s philosophy of ‘botanical simplicity’, harnessing the power of plants in treatments, resonates well with the needs of our consumers who are constantly on the go. The Revitalising Face Mask and Radiance Facial Serum are a must for tired skin!”

Launching into Singapore is the next step for The Herb Farm, after launching into Hong Kong last year and developing an established presence in the online Chinese market. Export is a key strategy for The Herb Farm and they are working on plans to launch into Malaysia and Australia this year, as well as expand distribution in New Zealand.
