We often talk about the power of plant-based eating, but what about the power of plants on our skin? In this clean beauty episode of the Plant-Based Diet podcast, we explore plant-based skincare and botanical healing with Jodi Scott, founder of Green Goo.
Blending science and time honored plant traditions, Green Goo is a disruptor of the over-the-counter first aid space. While not wanting to get too personal, host Esther Garfin couldn’t pass up the opportunity to talk about eczema and why skin, your body’s largest organ, deserves the same “real food” philosophy as your diet.
