Green by Design: Inside The Very Good Goo’s Commitment to Daily Sustainability

At The Very Good Goo, sustainability isn’t just a policy—it’s a passion. As we celebrate Earth Day, we want to highlight the initiatives that embody our commitment to the environment and inspire you to bring sustainability into your daily life.

Crafting Products with Care

At The Very Good Goo, our selection process for botanical essences is driven by a deep understanding of their unique benefits, allowing us to precisely address the varied needs of our customers' skin. For example, we incorporate Calendula in our formulations for its exceptional ability to soothe and repair the skin, making it ideal for those with sensitive or compromised skin barriers. You can find it for example in our best selling Intensive Care Skin Balm. Chamomile is another cornerstone of our product range, valued for its anti-inflammatory properties that calm redness and irritation, perfect for mature skin types looking to maintain a youthful glow we incorporated it in the formula of our Whipped Glow Moisturiser. Additionally, Sea Buckthorn is integrated for its rich composition of nutrients and antioxidants, which are crucial for revitalising tired, dull complexions and fortifying the skin against environmental stressors  - it is one of many incredible ingredients in our Radiance Booster Serum .

We believe that nature provides potent remedies for many of our skincare and health challenges. By harnessing these natural essences and understanding their specific actions, we create bespoke skincare solutions that not only nourish but also harmonise with and enhance the natural beauty of your skin. We include a diverse selection of native Australian botanicals like Kakadu plum known for the highest vitamin C content worldwide, humble but potent Lilly Pilly or a ​​marvellous Desert Quandong Fruit. 

Made Here with Love

All our products are proudly made in Australia. Local manufacturing not only supports the Australian economy but also minimises our carbon footprint, ensuring our operations are as eco-friendly as possible.

Innovative, Eco-Friendly Packaging

We believe that good packaging shouldn’t harm the planet. That’s why we’ve chosen materials like aluminium and glass over plastic. These materials not only ensure that our packaging is planet friendly but also maintain the integrity of our products. By committing to this approach, we help reduce landfill waste and decrease environmental impact.

Repurposing with Purpose

Our glass jars don't just house our products; they're designed for a second life in your home. Here are a few ways you can repurpose them creatively:

• Desk Organisers: Small jars are excellent for keeping desk items like clips and pins neatly stored.
• Decorative Planters: Clean them out to plant small succulents or herbs, adding a touch of green to any room.
• Homemade Candles: Fill them with wax for a homemade candle that makes the perfect gift or cosy addition to your space.
• Custom Beauty Solutions: Use them to mix and store homemade beauty treatments, such as face masks or hair treatments, knowing they’re stored safely and stylishly.

Sustainable Actions, Lasting Impact

Our collaboration with Ecology from the very beginning to plant a tree for every product sold is a cornerstone of our commitment to global reforestation and biodiversity. Through initiatives like these, we aim not only to offset our carbon footprint but to actively contribute to environmental restoration.

No Animal Testing

We stand firm in our ethical commitment to no animal testing in any of our products. This choice reflects our dedication to ethical practices and environmental stewardship, ensuring that our beauty solutions harm neither animals nor the planet.
