Plant-Based First Aid + “Nutritional Skincare”
Heather Gray sits down with Jodi Scott, co-founder of Green Goo, to talk about plant-based first aid, clean topical ingredients, and the science-backed relationship between stress, inflammation, and skin health. Jodi explains her background in health psychology and psychoneuroimmunology (PNI), the intersection of psychology, the nervous system, and immune function and how it shaped Green Goo’s approach to topical care.
You’ll learn why many “natural living” households still keep chemical-heavy products in their first-aid cabinets, how Green Goo formulates products from whole plants (rather than pre-made extracts), and how a simple self-care ritual like “Sanctuary Sunday” can help you become more present and supportive of your body. Jodi also highlights popular Green Goo formulas used for cuts, scrapes, bug bites, sunburn, chafing, dry skin, eczema, psoriasis, and more, plus why hydration and barrier support are foundational to “high-performance” skin.
Key Topics Covered
- What psychoneuroimmunology is and why it matters for wellness
- The connection between stress response (fight-or-flight) and skin sensitivity
- Why “clean living” often stops at the first-aid cabinet and how to change that
- The concept of nutritional skincare: “feeding” your skin like you feed your body
- How ingredient “subtraction” (removing irritants) can be a powerful first step
- Why Green Goo is formulated as a multi-herb synergy, not a single-ingredient fix
- A breakdown of Green Goo’s most-loved products and how people use them
What Is Green Goo?
Green Goo creates plant-based first aid and personal care products designed to be effective first, while also being clean and sustainable. Jodi shares that the brand name “Green Goo” stuck because customers remembered it, and because many formulas naturally have a green hue from real plant properties.
A key differentiator: Green Goo emphasizes in-house extraction and formulation, bringing plants into their own facility to preserve potency and integrity in their custom herbal oils.
