I am fortunate enough to have received three fantastic products from Elemental Herbs: All Good Lips, Herbal Cool, and All Good Goop. Elemental Herbs owner Caroline Duell developed these products with a great vision in mind; to harness the natural powers of the environment’s purest, most elemental ingredients and organic herbs in order to offer natural healing products that are good for people and good for the earth. I have given all three products the once over and they seem to be very high quality. I will use them on almost a daily basis and look forward to the benefits that they can provide.
First we have the All Good Lips that is blended in a base of organic extra virgin olive oil and organic beeswax, which provides for a soothing and moisturizing wear factor. It is available with or without SPF 12 for added satisfaction. It’s made with organic healing herbs and the SPF formula provides 90% coverage from the sun’s harmful rays. This is very important for me because I am so active in the outdoors I need strong protection. The SPF formulas are offered in original, sweet tangerine and cool spearmint, and in a non- SPF moisturizing-only formula. I received the sweet tangerine flavor and it is fantastic for my everyday needs. MSRP: $3.50 each.
Second is the All Good Goop, and it is made fully of botanicals and herbs. This Goop is a healing balm that is said to be, “strong enough for a climber’s calloused hands and gentle enough for a baby’s bottom”. It’s organic, all natural, petroleum-free and a great moisturizer and soothing salve. It was created to be “all good” for every skin condition and will prepare you for any condition that you put yourself into. It can be used for cuts, scrapes, abrasions, minor burns, sunburn, insect bites, stings, dry and irritated skin, chapped lips, diaper rash, blisters, cracked or calloused hands, scars… and much more. It comes in two sizes; a 1oz. bottle or a 2oz. bottle to suit your everyday needs. MSRP: 1oz. $8.50, 2oz. $13.50
Last but not least is the wonderful Herbal Cool, 100% botanical and natural herbal based pain-relief spray that is good for bumps, bruises, and soreness that are almost inevitable in today’s active environment. Herbal Cool, “goes on cool and warms up fast, and includes only wild crafted herbs and menthol for quick, natural relief”. It provides instant relief for sore muscles and keeps you in your activities having fun and staying strong. I hate when pain takes over and my time is cut short on the activities I want to participate in. Herbal Cool also comes in two sizes; the 2oz. and the 4oz. bottles. MSRP: 2oz. $12.49, 4oz. $20.49

All Good Goop……………….A Continued Look
I have been using my three products from Elemental Herbs on all my outings this summer and they have proved to be wonderful. I rode in a 60 mile bike race and I used all three products on the course. The All Good Lips balm proved extremely helpful with the hot sun and wind on my lips to keep them moist and unburned. The Herbal Cool was great for when we stopped at the rest station to give my muscles some relief and then continue on my way. I used it on my calves a lot to relieve the soreness I felt both during and after the race. My cousin scraped her leg pretty badly when she took a fall off her bike. The All Good Goop was great to put right on the wounds because they weren’t too deep.
Here are more of my findings about each product individually.
All Good Lips has been a great lip balm for my everyday endeavors and my more intense activities. I carry it with me on my longer runs and it always gives me much needed relief from dryness and sun exposure because of its great moisturizing attributes, and it’s SPF 12. I have really enjoyed the sweet tangerine flavor and it doesn’t taste bad (let’s face it, some always seems to get into the mouth). Having a balm that tastes okay is nice especially when you use it as often as I do. I have always had a tendency to get dry lips and the All Good Lips has satisfied those needs so far.
The Herbal Cool has been awesome for relieving my sore muscles, which I seem to get all too often. I switc
hed my running style and while I have been adjusting my body to it my calves have been getting extremely sore. The Herbal Cool has been very helpful in alleviating the pain and allowing me to continue my training. I use it after a long day at work to rub on my shoulders and neck. It helps me get better sleep when my muscles are relaxed. Another good thing about the Herbal Cool is that it is a spray and doesn’t leave any residue on my hands. It does seem to wear off kind of quickly, but the application is so easy in a spray that I can quickly put more on for longer relief.
The All Good Goop can be used for many different things and I have used it for just about all of them. I h
ave used it to soften my mother’s rough heels, eliminate the dry skin on my elbows and knees, help relieve a small burn I got from my straight iron, and if I don’t have my All Good Lips balm with me I use the Goop to relieve my dry lips. I have a bad habit of biting my fingernails and with that comes a lot of hang nails. The Goop is great to rub around my nail bed to help stop them from even splitting at all, which has been a huge help to me because before my fingers were always sore and throbbing. It has also helped with my dry knuckles that are starting to arrive with the cold weather, and I have found that so far it has been meeting many different needs with each use.
When I ran the Ragnar Relay (this is a 190 mile relay race that goes from Logan to Park City) with some family and friends this summer I was able to once again use all three items very regularly to help keep us all comfortable and happy. I used the All Good Lips balm on all my runs to keep my lips from burning in the hot sun and drying out from the wind. The Herbal Cool came in when having to sit for long periods before another long and demanding run. It was a wonderful tool to help my muscles not cramp or ache when I wanted to perform well. Something funny is that the same cousin that I road in my bike race with did the Ragnar and she yet again got hurt and I was able to use the All Good Goop to help relieve her pain and stop infection. It was awesome to have products that worked during my intense activities and helped in so many ways. Check back soon to see what other things I can use the products for and how they hold up.
