Super goop is fantastic sun screen though. My wife got influenced, and now I can't go back to anything I ever used before. Does a great job protecting, and my skin don't break out from use.

That's not related. Goop is an alternative "medicinal products" line of bullshit, with Gwyneth Paltrow as the face. Supergoop is a sunscreen line created by Holly Thaggard, whose company was founded a year before Paltrow's scam company.

TIL. I was embarrassed to use it and was so confused. Probably should have looked I to it.

No worries. I had a similar response when first seeing it.
