    Women-owned brand expands mission to ‘Spread Goodness’ in face of global pandemic

    All-natural body care brand Green Goo, under parent company Sierra Sage Herbs, is honored to support frontline workers, medical facilities, and local and national organizations making a difference in the fight against COVID-19 with instrumental product donations, including FDA-compliant hand sanitizer and first aid items.

    Pivoting at the onset of the global pandemic to produce an affordable hand sanitizer for those in need, Green Goo has leveraged its manufacturing partnerships to produce a steady supply of the 63.5% alcohol gel, in a variety of packaging options, in order to provide an in-stock solution for consumers and organizations alike. With production capacity and volume steadier and more reliable, Green Goo has been able to realign focus back to its philosophical cornerstones: philanthropy and humanitarianism.

    “Our company mission is ‘Spread Goodness,’ and that never stops, regardless of the obstacles thrown in our way,” Green Goo Co-Founder and CEO Jodi Scott said. “We recognized at the onset of the current situation that we not only needed to protect our families and our employees, but that we had an obligation to find a way to make a difference, no matter how big or small. We are privileged to be in a position to share these meaningful products with those in need. The organizations receiving our hand sanitizers — major government and educational health authorities, hospitals, first responders, and shelters for at-risk populations, for example – are doing the kind of work necessary to keep people safe and informed during these uncertain times. To play any part in that world is the reason we started this company in the first place.”

    The following organizations have received donations of hand sanitizer and/or all-natural first aid products from Green Goo:

    • Alameda Health System – Oakland, Calif.
    • Bayshore Medical Center – Flanders, N.J.
    • Camp Ronald McDonald for Good Times – Los Angeles
    • Central Texas Food Bank – Austin, Texas
    • God’s Love We Deliver – New York
    • Harbor House of Central Florida – Orlando, Fla.
    • James A. Haley Veterans Hospital – Tampa, Fla.
    • McLeod Health Clarendon – Manning, S.C.
    • Navajo Nation with help from Orenda Tribe and The Lani Rhys Collective – Albuquerque, N.M.
    • Not 4gotten NY – Woodstock, N.Y.
    • OUT Boulder County – Boulder, Colo.
    • Providence Fire Department – Santee, S.C.
    • The Arc of Washington County – Hagerstown, Md.
    • The City of New York’s NYC Health Department – New York
    • UCLA Health – Los Angeles

    The preceding list ranges from hospitals and medical personnel to food banks, other first responder groups, and entities providing educational and protective services. Green Goo is also setting aside a percentage of monthly hand sanitizer sales to select local and national organizations. The recipients of the financial contribution for the month of April were L.E.A.F (Lyons Emergency & Assistance Fund, Lyons) and Direct Relief. Boulder Community Health Foundation (Boulder) and Johns Hopkins Medicine have been selected to receive financial donations following the month of May.

    Additionally, donated products have been sent to numerous individuals working in hospitals with affected patients, social workers, small-business owners, and others defining the American response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Green Goo will continue to produce compliant hand sanitizer options and search for additional opportunities to offer related support for as long as deemed necessary by U.S. health officials.

    GREEN GOO LAUNCHES HAND SANITIZER TO ADDRESS MARKET SHORTAGE & PRICE GOUGING

     Women-owned body care brand leverages U.S. manufacturing partnerships
    to introduce product aimed at combating the COVID-19 crisis

    In an effort to combat a market shortage and rampant price gouging, Sierra Sage Herbs, parent company of all-natural brand Green Goo, is proud to announce the launch of a new hand sanitizer, scheduled to arrive at its warehouse later this week. Produced in the U.S., Green Goo’s hand sanitizer, made with an FDA-approved 63.5% alcohol, disinfects and kills 99% of bacteria and germs.

    Green Goo provides the Town of Lyons, Colorado, where the company is headquartered, 3,000+ units from the initial limited allotment, while the remaining products will be included free of charge with every order, in addition to being a part of three wellness bundles, via the brand’s website — greengoo.com. Additionally, individual sales of the hand sanitizers has been available at greengoo.com and at a multitude of national chain stores and independent retailers from late April.

    “Currently, we have a limited supply, so we are including a free hand sanitizer with every order to ensure our customers are able to share this inventory – a little for all,” said Green Goo Co-Founder and CEO Jodi Scott. “We’re producing more hand sanitizer which is scheduled to ship later in April, and at that time we will make it available for sale.”

    Green Goo plans to donate 1% of the sales of the hand sanitizers to select local and international charitable organizations making a difference in the fight against COVID-19, such as Colorado-local Lyons Emergency & Assistance Fund, Boulder Community Health Foundation, ACLU Foundation of Colorado
    National – Direct Relief, Johns Hopkins Medicine, NAACP Legal Defense & Educational Fund.

    “In these uncertain times, we are all trying to understand how we can help. As a family-operated company and, ultimately, concerned citizens of the world, we feel an enormous responsibility to leverage our resources and partnerships to provide these much-needed products,” Scott continued. “Green Goo is an all-natural brand and this isn’t a ‘typical’ product for us. However, with the urgent need for hand sanitizers, we felt a duty to address the need for the product while complying with FDA-, CDC- and WHO-recommended formulas. There is time, as we learn more about this disease, to evolve the formulation.”

    The brand will continue to produce hand sanitizer for as long as deemed necessary by U.S. health officials.
