In this eye-opening conversation, Charlie Lemmer sits down with Jodi Scott, co-founder of Green Goo, to explore one of the most overlooked areas of home health: our first-aid and personal care products.

Despite the rise of natural skincare and eco-friendly cleaning brands, most households still rely on outdated, chemical-heavy first-aid staples — petroleum ointments, steroid creams, synthetic lubricants and deodorants — often applied to the most absorbent parts of the body.

Jodi reveals why the first-aid aisle hasn't changed in over 70 years, and how plant-based formulations can genuinely outperform conventional products without the toxins, preservatives or animal testing that dominate the industry. She shares:

• The surprising origins of Green Goo
• Why a single herbal salve can replace up to 20 products in the average first-aid kit
• What makes intimate care and underarm products especially critical for hormone health
• How skin functions as a longevity organ, influencing inflammation, ageing and even DNA integrity
• The problem with greenwashing and why “natural” marketing often misleads consumers
• The wider environmental impact of what we wash down our drains
• Green Goo’s B Corp values and their social impact work with women in Afghanistan

This episode is a powerful reminder that healthy living isn’t just about what we eat — it’s also about what we absorb, what we put on our children’s skin, and what we allow into the sanctuary of our homes.

If you’re ready to rethink your first-aid cabinet and build a cleaner, more conscious home, this one is essential listening.
