What is goop?

In 2007, Peter Arnell joked about how “successful internet companies have double o’s in their name” and Gwyneth Paltrow decided to launch goop. goop was simply a play on Arnell’s joke and Gwyneth’s initials, G-P. The company started out as a weekly newsletter. Now, Paltrow’s wellness and lifestyle brand is large enough to have a second self-produced documentary on Netflix.

The newsletter contained Paltrow’s recommendations for workouts, diets, and recipes. The brand slowly gained popularity due to Gwyneth’s role in Iron Man, for which she is best known now. Subsequently, there was a goop website, podcast, magazine, branded products, treatments, health summits, a lot- and we mean, a lot- of stores, and finally, the Goop Lab, followed by Sex, Love, and Goop.
