Plant-Powered Solutions From Jodi Scott

00:06
Hello and welcome to the Vacay Podcast. Today, we have a fellow plant-based CEO and founder. We're excited to have Jody, Allison, Scott, the CEO of Green Goo Products. What's going on, Jody? Hey, good to be with you. How's it going? It's great. We appreciate you being here in the snowy confines of Colorado where you are. And we're in the rainy south of South Carolina at the moment.

00:36
And, uh, I'm jealous. I'd rather have snow than rain, but we appreciate you coming on. It was good to be here. The, uh, plant based community, as we like to think of it, you know, isn't the largest of communities, but, uh, you know, Chris and I really passionate about this. I know he came across some of your products and, and your profile and, you know, just excited to talk about it. The, uh,

01:05
Tell us a little bit about you and, and I don't know, Green Goo and then let's just set the table for our audience. Um, about who exactly you, Jodi, Alice Scott is. Love it. Well, the plant based Renaissance is here, which is pretty cool. Yep. Um, you know, we've been talking plant based for almost a decade now, and it, it was, uh, it was a term that a lot of people just really didn't, didn't relate to, and so.

01:30
My mom's sister and I started GreenGue. My sister's an herbalist and a midwife and I was pre-med. And our goal was to make plant-based first aid products. We thought it was incredibly interesting that the natural consumer was willing to abandon their natural ethos because they thought that products like Neosporin, hydrocortisone, calamine were the only products that could get the job done. So here they were living this like super clean life.

01:57
But then you open up the first aid cabinet, me being one of them, I was making that compromise and using those products. And then we started to dig into the first aid space even more. And we found that generally speaking, even the conventional consumer was dissatisfied with the efficacy in first aid. They didn't care what the ingredients were. They just wanted something that worked better. And topical therapeutics now is a term, but then it was very much, I've got...

02:28
a chronic skin condition, and I'm looking for something over the counter that works, and I'm super annoyed when I have to go to the doctor and get a prescription. So, you know, our goal was, well, great, can we make a plant based solution that has superior efficacy over anything on the market? And then also bring like some fun, like bring some personality, bring some sustainability. We're seeing all these tubes thrown in the landfill.

02:55
Um, so it was pretty progressive to bring these metal tins that you'll see in the green goo, but it's the most renewable material and, uh, it's been fun. It's, it's been an interesting ride. And to your point, uh, you know, the plant-based community is pretty small, but it's been pretty great to see even like the conventional consumer go, okay, I've never used a natural product, but I've had poison ivy for six months and I'm super frustrated. So, uh, you know,

03:25
What the heck, let me try this goofy green goo and see if it does the trick. And then, you know, the next thing you know, they're emailing us saying, what else do you have? So, and it's fun. And you know, what makes us so different too, than anything else on the market, is that we make most of the ingredients ourselves. So at our manufacturing facility, we're actually bringing the plants.

03:51
to the facility, taking them through this really unique extraction process, yield high amounts of the medicinal properties, and then put custom oils in these products. So not only are you getting a concentration of plants that isn't available on the market, these blends are unique to these products and to anything else on the market, which is really why the products work. It was probably one of our biggest challenges in terms of finding manufacturing because no one wanted to replicate this process.

04:20
And it took a guy whose son had eczema and he used our product. And he just was like, we have to find a way to get these products to the public. And they are primary manufacturer today with all these big, beautiful vats of plants being, you know, infused to go into the green goo. I love it. I mean, I have this, we have a lot of people on that are passionate about plant-based and. But I always like to have this.

04:48
kind of fodder and discussion. Like, I don't know, and Chris and I have this debate all the time, like, when did we become so anti or, or believe that plant-based and natural things couldn't help us and everything had to be done in the lab, you know, we talk about it from like the pharmaceutical side of things, but it's, it's really holistic and it's from top to bottom and I just don't know.

05:17
I know there's certainly, there's always been people in a community that got labeled as the, maybe the granola community or whatever for being planned. I probably labeled them quite honestly at some point. I apologize now. But, but- My sister being one of them. But it's just crazy that we have these things that grow from the earth that can cure and or treat.

05:45
So many different conditions and things that we have. I just don't know where we got lost in our ways. You know, like, yeah. Like I know that the pharmaceutical companies and all these businesses and commercialism that I own an ad agency. So I'll take some fault, you know, maybe marketing, but I just don't know where plant-based became

06:14
looked at through this lens, comparative to things that get manufactured in a lab. I don't know your perspective on that or why that happened. I could go off. I have so many things to say about this, which is, and we talk about this a lot too. We could go back to even how cannabis became criminalized or what have you in terms of, to your point, marketing saying that things

06:43
didn't do what they said that they were doing. But I think in the general sense, where I see the biggest impact in the market was the industrial revolution in manufacturing. And we didn't have the technology that we have today. We didn't have the transportation and the infrastructure. We didn't have Amazon who could get us our products in the same day. And people wanted more bank for the buck, right? They wanted a big container of lotion or shampoo or conditioner. And people wanted to sell you on...

07:13
you know, value. In addition to, we needed the preservatives, maybe not to the same degree, we could probably argue that, but we needed the preservatives, in theory, for the formulations that were being made to be able to get to people's homes and last long enough, because oftentimes it was made on the manufacturing line, it might not get to someone's home until you know, six to eight months later. Of course, that's not the case now. And arguably, there's a lot of great natural

07:42
preservatives and vitamin E and rosemary and lavender. And truly, the unfortunate results of that, of the industrial revolution is things like parabens and phthalates and these endocrine disruptors that aren't even just, hey, you should have a nutritive source in the products that you're eating or putting on your body. We say if you can't eat it, don't wear it. There's also...

08:09
You know, there's a lot of other chemicals in there that are scary. I mean, I think deodorant has been a great example of the consumers, you know, pre plant based era, becoming really aware of ingredients. Cause it first started out with like aluminum, right? Being in, in deodorant. Um, now aluminum, it's great that things are aluminum free now, but there's a

08:34
ton of other ingredients that you don't want to have. If I can't pronounce it, I'm not sure I want to use it. And I probably do use some of them, but it's like, I don't know, I just want to pronounce it, right? Yeah. You know, it's funny too, because we're always looking at like the transdermal absorption on your skin and the various parts to consider that in our product development. And as long as we're talking about deodorant, the armpit.

09:02
is an incredibly interesting place in our bodies. Like, it has a 70 plus percent absorption rate, which is like incredibly higher than anywhere else on your body. And, you know, we've been treating it as this thing where we just don't want to sweat, we just don't want it to smell, you know, and now, of course, we're talking about what ingredients not to put in there because you've got your lymphatic system, you know, you're absorbing so much of it. But what's been fun is looking at the armpit and being like,

09:31
Well, maybe we should look at this as a nutritive source. Maybe because it absorbs so much, it's not just about the ingredients you shouldn't have, it's the ingredients you should have. So we have like nootropics in our deodorant, like vitamin C, Oshawanda, holy basil, ginkgo, babola, because we're like, well, heck, why not? And what's been interesting to observe is like, you start using these deodorants, you don't stink. Like, it's like your body's not rejecting.

09:59
the thing that it doesn't want and it wants to absorb it and it's changing your whole pH in your armpit. So we always call it the portal now. We're going to find something's coming next with the armpit portal and how to maintain homeostasis and nutrition. I wonder where, I mean, how do we get, is it just a money thing like education? It's like, how do we get the switch flipped back to, you know?

10:29
what our Native American ancestors and other people like, I feel like there should be this happy medium. I mean, I consider myself a modern person and certainly believe and know that we need modern medicine solutions and things for certain things. But then there's just this huge gray area slash.

10:54
other space. Let's put that in the 10% where we just, okay, you need modern medicine, we need laboratory-based things, like big-time surgeries, things way above my pay grade. But then the everyday stuff, whether it's stress, whether it's health, general health and wellness, whether it's body care, like you mentioned, so I don't know how we have this renaissance of...

11:24
and e-commerce and things like your company and others and our company and others. But I don't know. I feel like there needs to be like some re-education and re-imagining for how we bring this stuff to life. It's so true. It's the 80-20 rule. It's like the classic 80-20 rule. Like 80% of what is taking, we're taking in.

11:52
we could be changing that. And it's just the little day to day stuff, right? And I always tell my daughter, I'm like save those chemicals for another occasion when you're really gonna need it so you can spare your body those challenges and or not cause more issues by bringing in some of those chemicals when you just don't need them. And I think there's been a lot of greenwashing. There's, to your point, there was sort of the

12:20
the hippie movement and maintaining clean ingredients, but you didn't necessarily have products that were really performing the efficacy, you know, and, and so of course, like the first time I went to a pharmacy buyer and said, Hey, I've got a plant based neosporin. I mean, he about fell off his seat. He's like, yeah, right. Like, like there's something natural that can actually help heal a wound. And of course we're in first aid, so we can't, nor do we want to.

12:49
compromise efficacy. If you have a cut or a scrape, we need to be able to perform for you. And I'm hopeful, and there's been so much more education now, whether it is around psychedelics and other plant-based modalities, that you're starting to see real efficacy, real results. And you can't negate that, right? Like I have a customer who is Jane Doe number one, and she was the first person.

13:19
hold from the World Trade Center and she had awful, awful injuries and was addicted to opioids. And so she called us one day and was like, your pain relief product, your topical analgesic is the only product that is working for me as I'm going through the withdrawal symptoms. And she's like, can I get it in a bigger container? And I'm thinking, this is the only thing like there's a gazillion things on the market.

13:48
And, and this was the product and now she's become a dear friend, which has been really fun, but it gave me an opportunity to like look at our products too, in a different lens, in the sense of this holistic skincare experience that you're having. So you get the, because we're using plant based lipid oils that your skin loves, and they're the transporter of these high concentration of the herbs, you're getting more of a systemic experience where it's coming in to your body.

14:18
And then also, I mean, we're seeing more results with like mindfulness and how mindfulness can actually impact your skincare. It can reduce cortisol, it can reduce inflammation, which then makes your skin healthier and happier. And so it's been fascinating to see where you can't negate the results when you're getting the, we'll call it anecdotal research.

14:47
But now, we were kind of talking a little bit more prior to coming on in terms of this integrative, holistic healthcare approach. And yeah, and it's just, it's so exciting because now there's more research and more money going into the research to support that data that we didn't have before. A really fun one that I've really leaning in more now is,

15:16
is skincare and telomeres. And we've been talking a lot about like biohacking and telomeres and telomeres are like the end caps to your DNA, right? And they they talk, they, they can give you some insight to your longevity. So there's different kinds of vitamins and things that that help you with that. What we're learning is that in your epidermis has the highest concentration of the enzyme that is shown to promote telomere length. And so

15:45
there's different herbs that have plant stem cell properties or antioxidant properties or hydration that accommodate to that process. And so perhaps kind of like the armpit, you know, we've kind of just like negated the skin is just, oh, it's our largest organ. It's supposed to look pretty. That's all we care about, you know, keep it from getting wounds, but it may have a greater impact on our overall health and wellness. And

16:14
And there's more research coming out. You know, it wasn't until like the early, I'd say mid 2016, 17 timeframe, when behavioral medicine journals and dermatology journals started looking at mindfulness and saying, we're seeing a real impact on meditation and eczema inflammation. Like, what is that? So it's fun. It's, I think to your point, it's education. And it's also, it's

16:41
getting more money in the research to support this information so that we can make better results or better choices. Yeah. I mean, I think I'm going to go back to one of the first things you said, and I think that's what is the stigma. I mean, you know, we joked about the granola like and all that, but like, I think my perspective was, you know, I mean, I'm 46 years old. So I mean, like 20 years ago, 15 years ago.

17:10
guy gave a shot to some of these things, you know, but they didn't work, you know, like for me and you know, the, the girl or the guy trying to tell me, you know, plant based deodorant and I'm going, who could you stand over there? But now to your point, more people in modern technology have gotten behind this and the efficacy and you know,

17:39
people like yourselves and products like Green Goo, like that are doing the manufacturing process at a higher level. This stuff is actually working. And so it's having to overcome, I think that stigma that was kind of established or assumed that this isn't just Voodoo, you know, or, you know, someone throwing some hippie dip, throwing ingredients together, there's a lot of technology and insight in this that.

18:09
that brings this together in a way that now these products are on par better. Um, and just by the nature of being natural alone and being plant based, they're better already, you know, but because you don't have a lot of the negative reactions and, and, um, allergies and things like that, that come with the other products. But I think that's the thing that we've got to overcome is like getting the products in people's hands and getting them trying to go, wow, this really works.

18:40
Well, you know, it's funny, I really attribute the cannabis, the farm bill passing to bringing a higher level of education to the plant based Renaissance. And I was at a trade show. And you know, it was right about the time the farm bill was passing. And so at the at the lunch break, there was a special, you know, keynote speaker who was talking to these retailers like, hey, you know, CBD is coming. Here's how you can bring it into your stores. Here's what you need to look for.

19:09
And, you know, here's, here's where it comes from. It comes from the hemp plant and giving them that process. And so they came back later to my booth and I'm like, okay, you know, that talk that was at lunch, they're like, yeah. And I'm like, you know, they're processing the cannabinoids from the hemp plant. That's what we do at GreenGoo, except we're doing it with like 50 other plants. And we also have natural naturally occurring cannabinoids in these products because, because of our process, protecting the integrity of the plant.

19:37
having the entourage effect, having the chlorophyll and the terpenes that are a part of this, that's what's giving the medicinal properties. And it was like the light bulb went off and they were on and they were like, hey, now I get it. And so I think now where the consumer, to your point, can actually experience the anecdotal, the experience themselves, I use this product and I got these results.

20:06
is really making the difference. And I think that the psychedelic Renaissance is gonna further accelerate our research and experience of these alternative modalities, these ancient wisdoms, these lost practices really have value. And it was an interesting study I heard the other day that we have only discovered 20% of the plants on this planet.

20:36
And yet we're also seeing at a rate of almost 50% of these plants going extinct. So we may never even discover all of the potential medicinal wisdoms that we have on this planet. But we're sure to really exciting time where I love now.

20:59
know, it was like being the first kombucha brand, right? And when people are like, what's kombucha? Now we got lots of kombucha. But I mean, plant based first aid was incredibly challenging 10 years ago, because people weren't willing to give the credit that was due. And of course, now we talk about allergies, like you mentioned allergies, you know, 25% of the population is allergic to neomycin. They're really not using it in hospitals are recommending it. It's toxic to pets.

21:27
that's new information to the market. And so there are some pretty great solutions out there. And it's fun to be a part of the solution, which is great too. Yeah. The psychedelic stuff is the testing and it's gone is exciting. I experimented in college, like everybody did. I don't pretend to be, I'm not even like a, haven't gone on the

21:56
If there's something, because I mean, I have a mom that's dealing with early stage dementia. It's very minor at this point, but my grandmother passed from Alzheimer's. And, you know, when you know there could be these solutions that are being tested, you know, you want that to speed up and you want like something that comes from the ground, might get solved, something that's, you know, how many thousands of people are dealing with. And, you know, we're just now moving regulations like out of the way.

22:26
It's mind boggling that I get why we have controlled substances and controlled things, but to not have a segment of whether it's the government or whether it's something that is exploring every natural product and testing it in some way is just my, I can't even fathom why we have regulations in the way of that as long as it's controlled, you know, in some way.

22:55
It's going to be fascinating where all that goes. Um, Chris, I know you might want to jump in on that a little bit.

23:03
Dude, first of all, Jody, you fire me up, like hearing how you talk, it's refreshing. Especially, you know, with everything you're talking about, the terpenes and the entourage effect, that's such a part that's not, the general public's not educated on, and I know that's what I try to educate people on is, because everyone knows CBD and THC, right? But there's 150 other great compounds that all have different.

23:33
healing properties, but to tag on what Ryan said, I think about how many years I was using like old spice deodorant with like aluminum, right? And purely because they had great marketing to me at the time, probably 13 when I started, you know, biting on that and Axe body spray and all this stuff, the street chemicals, where even I made the switch, I think to like natural deodorant and soap probably two years ago.

24:03
And even then I'm like, I don't know if this is going to stick. Like, you know, cause I'm picturing some, some guy with dreadlocks that smells bad. Right. And that's so crazy because it shows me of how effective marketing was for those big companies that are making unhealthy products. And I think we're at a point now, you know, Ryan,

24:30
Ryan and I are big marketing guys, he has a marketing agency, so we always kind of look at it from that perspective as well, where they just did a great marketing job and then lobbied for laws in their favor, is what I believe. And now, I would say over half my friends now are probably using natural products. I mean, even before we got on this, I'm on Amazon looking for shampoo and I'm like, well, what doesn't have chemicals? And so I think...

25:00
I almost think those consumer brands are leading the way. Cause I even saw a buddy of mine, a big wellness guy post yesterday, just, you know, bath salts, like Epsom salts. And the specific one he posted was a sativa hemp blend, you know, something you get at CVS or Walgreens. But even seeing that is a win to me where, and I remember the first company I think really, if I think back was Hempz, H-E-M-P-Z, the body lotion.

25:29
I remember being 10 or 12 and I just thought it was cool because there was a marijuana leaf on it back then. But now obviously, you know, that marketing played to me when I was 12, right? And then, but now I think it's, it's flipping the script where I told you before we recorded every time I'm in Colorado, the topicals out there, I think are second to none. And that was a big part of getting my, my parents comfortable with plant-based or cannabis was a lot of the topical products when they would be out skiing.

25:58
and their knees hurting or whatever it was, the effectiveness of products like yours, they work like you said, your client. Yeah, opioid withdrawals are no joke. If this is helping with that, you're onto something. Well, and I think to your point too, the war on drugs did a really great job in their marketing campaign that obviously impacted the advancements in this space. And so I'm...

26:26
I'm just so excited to see this underground community come with very strong voices. I'm on the board of a company that we have a psychedelic PTSD treatment resistant PTSD clinical trial in Nova Scotia. And you know, these vets come in just destroyed. And to your point, you know, we are parents are a product of the war on drugs, right? So there's this stigma. But, you know, they come in.

26:54
with the PTSD, but they also have a myriad of other things, right? They don't sleep, they overeat, they over drink, they have no social life, they have no hobbies. And you know what's great is after one microdose and then macro, they are an 80% remission.

27:15
And the PTSD is only a fraction of what they benefit from this. They're going to concerts, they're reading books, they have, you know, a social life, they're sleeping, they quit drinking, they lose 60 pounds, you know. And it's just beautiful. And so I think, you know, um, to kind of fast forward, there's, there's a holistic, like we take a holistic skincare approach, but it's that holistic approach in general to like your overall health and wellness. I have a

27:43
an acronym I use with my daughter and it's called Shaman. And I am like, just use this acronym when you need to make some decisions to help with your overall, just center being along with the choices you make so that, you know, you're saving some of these chemicals for another occasion. So, you know, Shaman, first one is sleep. I'm like, add to your sleep bank, you know, that way if you do wanna go do all these other things over the weekend, you've got some sleep there that you've preserved. H is hydration.

28:12
Hydration, whether it's from the water or the beverages that you're drinking, but also again back to your skin being the largest organ. There's so many beautiful ingredients that can add to hydration, which are very important to your telomere health and longevity. Aloe vera, rose hip oil, these different plant-based oils. A is antioxidants. Again, antioxidants can come from your food, your choices, your skincare. There's nutritive.

28:40
resources in the products that you're having. Calendula is a great nutrition or is a great antioxidant for your skin. And then of course, you know, there's a lot of things you can do to avoid oxidation, whether it's like sun or stress, and being mindfulness, you know, mindfulness, again, that that whole holistic approach. And it doesn't take much. And we're learning this even in the

29:07
but you do 12 minutes a day of just an intentional meditation practice. It could be as simple as looking at the clouds for 12 minutes that you have already changed your brain. Your limbic system is not in charge and your sage brain is more in charge. And that will really serve you well in other occasions. So the next A is avoid. Avoid the phthalates, the parabens, the chemicals.

29:35
the bad stuff that's in food. And then N is nutrition. And again, the same thing from your food, from your skincare. And I'm like, just keep it super simple, you know, so she can just kind of because I mean, she's she's 12. She's on TikTok. She's looking at all the ads that are telling her, you know, get this lip plumper, and, you know, get these different products. And she has a little app now that we use in the store. And I'm like, just use the app and then at least you're informed if you decide.

30:04
to choose that product that has, you know, 100% chemicals and zero safety or whatever you did. I don't know what the different variables that her app measures. Then at least, you know what you're signing up for. And I think the biggest awareness for her has been, well, mom, that branding looked like it was going to be a clean brand. And it got 8%, you know? And I always love going over to Green Goo on the shelf just to like revalidate that it's 100% like reminder.

30:34
So, Jody, tell us, you know, I know we've got, I don't know, six or seven more minutes. Talk a little bit about, you know, some of your favorite Green Goo products and the most popular ones, you know, like what people can expect from the brand and, you know, where you're taking things. Sure. Thank you. So, you know, our flagship product is the Green Goo First Aid. That's your Neosporin alternative.

31:02
Um, you're antiseptic. What we did with this product though, and looking at the, um, like the first aid space, we recognize there's other symptoms that people were looking for. They wanted something to take the itch out, take the sting out, obviously speed up the healing. Um, and in some cases slow down the bleeding. We have a lot of athletes, you know, uh, people who are trail runners or, um, cyclers and they get into accidents and they're, you know, sticking dirt or different coagulants in to.

31:31
if they've been injured and they're out in a remote area. And so we always try to look at, you know, our mantra and walking the talk, let's simplify your first aid cabinet. Let's not just also bring you something that works better, but let's reduce your waste. So, you know, what we did with this product is it's actually your first aid kit and one little tin. So it is for cuts and scrapes, but it is bug bites, bee stings. You could use it for poison ivy, you know, sunburns,

32:00
It is your go to and it's one of those things that you didn't know you needed it until you have it. And then all of a sudden you're like, where's my goo? Where's my goo? It hits water on the keyboard as you're talking. I was going to say Ryan's got four boys. I feel like your house could probably use someone to do that. And it takes this thing in the itch out, which the kids love. My daughter would call it goo goo for her boo boo. Like band-aids, you know, when you do the band-aid ritual with kids.

32:29
It doesn't take the sting or itch out. It's just a distractor. It's just something to give them a night, pass the time when the sting goes away. But this stuff actually takes the sting and the itch out, which is super fun. You know, I mean, these things aren't gonna land you in the emergency room, or sometimes they do. We've got some interesting stories of how we were able to help them get to the emergency room. Here's a fun one for you though. This is like a complete left field. So the military, a lot of folks take this product with them.

32:58
when they're in deployments because it's small and it can be easily taken into these different areas with them. And bless their hearts, they don't get to have the convenience of a blister or a sunburn or sting address because they don't have room in their backpacks for this. So this product has been, we've got a lot of great vets and service men and women using it. But this one...

33:24
testimony we got and he was like, ma'am, this saved my life. And I'm on the phone with him and I'm like, okay, I'm gonna hear the story of a big gushing wound and you know, we were able to slow down the bleeding long enough. He's like, so I was out in the field and on a deployment and my O-Rings got jammed in my weapon. And he's like, I had seconds to get out of it. And he's like, what do I do? What do I do? It's jammed. And he's like, green goo. And he grabs his goo, sticks it in there.

33:53
And got out of the situation. And he was like, without the goo, he's like, I might not be here today. And I was like, well, that is the most interesting testimonial ever. Fersade slash rifle lubricant. Right. Honestly, it's probably, I think, I mean, I was at the gun range this weekend. I'm thinking like, why wouldn't I keep, not even for lubricant, just like that's my outdoor bag, right? So I have a question, Joe, do you have anything?

34:23
for like skin conditions, like eczema, I feel like is so prevalent now, especially in children. And my conclusion is it's our diets, environment. Are any of your products good for that type of skin condition? Yeah, because epigenetics is real. And I think that's the strongest relationship to your point, environment, diet. And so, yes, our dry skin formula is the product for eczema.

34:48
Matter of fact, John Hopkins has been using that product in their scleroderma and skin condition department for almost a decade. And it's a beautiful blend of calendula flowers, chamomile elderflowers, and a handful of others. But what I love about that trio right there is that because of the high concentration, they work very synergistically. And we're finding that a lot too. Like when we have one herb by itself, but then we have

35:17
You know, this one herb with two other herbs, how it just sort of elevates its efforts in terms of soothing and calming the skin while also reducing the inflammation and for us, it's not just the, you know, like for eczema specifically, it's not just, you want the appearance to go away. You want discomfort to go away. It's incredibly uncomfortable. Um, and I really attribute to that product is why Green Goo ever was able to come to market because it was our manufacturer today.

35:47
whose son had eczema, he used our product and he said, I don't know how we're gonna scale this Jodi. He's like, we're not even in this line of business. This has not been done before, but we're gonna figure this out because the world needs this product. Cause he's like, it's the first time my son is not on a prescription medication that they're concerned about the long-term impact. And I think that's really interesting to me just in first aid in general is topical therapeutics or at a, excuse me,

36:16
chronic skin conditions are at an all-time high. And first aid, you know, topical therapeutics really does not accommodate to chronic skin conditions. It's very much acute. Use this for three to five days and discontinue. Otherwise you may lose a limb because, or you know, an organ because you can't have continued use. And so, you know, I think it's a wonderful opportunity to shift that.

36:44
And what's great about GreenGear, which probably goes against capitalism in general, is that the more you use it, the less you end up needing it. So you'll start out really using it liberally. You'll always want it, but you won't need it at the same way when you first started using it. Um, and that's because it's doing your skin a real service and giving it real results. I love that. I can't wait to try it. Yeah, I know. I'm thinking first aid. I'm like, I gotta have, uh,

37:12
I was looking at your website, like I got to have the stick, the stuff I got to have like packet in every bag for the kids. I mean, they're four boys are falling down on every turn. I truly could not live without it. And I will leave on this note where you drop the mic, which is the Southern butter is our sexual wellness intimate line. And the same is true that once you have that in your life, you're like, where have you been? Didn't know I wanted or needed this. And you won't leave home without it.

37:41
And it's super fun. And we found a lot of the same similarities that the natural consumer was willing to abandon their natural ethos in the sexual wellness category because they just assumed that these were the only products that could get the job done. And same thing with like how you use this product, it conditions and hydrates your skin. So it, I mean, it improves sensitivity, it hydrates your skin. And so...

38:07
It's a really great thing to have in the bedroom with some fun essential oils. That's great. Oh, you need to restock some of your stuff. I look like you're sold out on all kinds of stuff. Yep. We're it. There you go. You got to keep, keep pumping production. Exactly. It's a good problem to have. Uh, Jodi, where can everybody find, uh, you green goo, all those things online. Green goo.com. We're also available at Amazon.

38:36
