All Good Goop 

The Perfect Skin Salve

All Good Goop is one of very few body products I always have on hand because I use it for everything. Its all-natural formula does everything I need for my skin. It soothes sunburn and heals cuts. It moisturizes dry patches. It calms down rashes. All without leaving my skin greasy. 

Made out of extra virgin olive fruit oil and beeswax, this all-purpose balm contains several essential oils that impart comforting and healing benefits to my skin. Calendula, comfrey, plantain, yarrow, and lavender oils all have soothing anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties, and Vitamin E works to keep moisture in the skin. I love the simple formula—just a handful of organic and non-GMO ingredients. All Good Goop is nourishing to my skin, it doesn’t contain perfume, and a two-ounce jar lasts me for months and months. A little dab goes a long way.

All Good Goop has a nice consistency. It’s not waxy or gooey, but has a nice even and smooth feeling on my finger tips. It’s very easy to grab a dab on my finger tip from the tub and work it into my skin. Because it has anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties, I often use it for cuts, which I seem to sustain daily. It’s my natural alternative to petroleum jelly.

I know from my dermatologist that petroleum jelly is the balm of choice for skin doctors, but I prefer using All Good Goop because it’s effective at soothing and moisturizing my skin and it doesn’t leave my skin greasy. (Of course, use the product your doctor recommends if you are being treated for a skin condition.)

All Good Goop is all I pack on trips, along with deodorant, shampoo, and my toothbrush. I use is as a moisturizer, a post-sun skin treatment, a lip balm, and to cover cuts and bug bites. I wish it came in a thick stick for easy application. I bought a jar for a friend, and now she swears by it, too.

Available in 1- and 2-ounce glass containers.
