A dispensing closure for a container that contains a flowable product such as a bath gel includes a body member that is constructed and arranged to be mounted to the container, that includes a dispensing opening and a further includes an upper deck portion, a lid member that is hinged to the body member and that includes a cover portion and at least one downwardly depending sidewall, and a snap fit mechanism for releasably locking the lid member to the body member. The downwardly depending sidewall portion of the lid member and the upper deck portion of the body member are advantageously configured to form therebetween a watertight seal when the lid member is in the closed position. To achieve this, the lid member may have a recess for providing clearance for a hinge, and the upper deck portion of the body member may include a complementary projection, which helps to maintain a watertight seal in the area of the hinge. Additionally, the downwardly depending skirt portion of the body member may have a thumb tab recess, and the lid member may have a thumb tab projection that is complementary in shape to the recess so as to help maintain a watertight seal.
