With the endless options of skincare products out there, knowing what’s best for you can be a challenge but knowing the team behind the brand can make a big difference.
Green Goo is a woman-owned, family-operated business based out of Lyons, Colorado that strives to bring “farm to farmacy” by carefully selecting only the purest, most sustainable herbs and essential oils. Their products range from skin repairing salves to nourishing lip balms, softening bath soaps and so much more.
It all started within their family. Green Goo’s signature First Aid formula was inspired by one of the sisters– an herbalist, organic farmer and midwife– and her EMT husband who travelled to the Philippines after a devastating typhoon. Improving healthcare and helping those in need has always been a passion for them. Seeing that remote medical procedures were not only complicated but also limited there, they created a power-packed homeopathic formula to help with multiple symptoms and packaged it in a small, convenient tin that could easily be carried around. The salve was used as a first defense for cuts, scrapes, blisters, sunburns, chafing and chapped lips.
The healing salve went from medical missions to military deployments to outdoor adventures. The family’s father, a retired general, even made sure to bring it with him to the Middle East where some got a little more creative and used it for hair gel and shining their shoes! An all-purpose product!
As Green Goo’s success grew, so did their commitment to help the community. Their products were used to help heal at the Hargeisa Orphan Center in Somalia, to provide 600+ patients with pre-medical care in Honduras, as well as many other worthy causes worldwide. Some of the organizations they’ve partnered with are: World Vision, Mercy in Action, Mandela Foundation, Snowball Express, Summit for Soldiers, the Pacific Crest Trail, and John Hopkins, St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.
While Green Goo’s products work wonders on humans, they didn’t dare forget about their beloved pets! Take for example Lisa Steele with Fresh Eggs Daily, who stocks up on Green Goo’s First Aid for her little cluckers. An avid fan and user, Steele has been using the salve for years and has even recommended it in her books and throughout her blog. A natural alternative to Neosporin that can be used on chickens, ducks, cats, dogs and horses to help speed up the healing process and prevent infection.
Green Goo’s family is dedicated to bringing you all-natural products — food for your skin – at an affordable price. For a list of all the products visit their website at www.greengoohelps.com.
