The task was to choose a desert island item, no other instructions. For some of us at goop, this meant picking the
products we love the most that’d we miss if we were truly stuck on an island, even if they were a bit unpractical.
For others, this meant scrolling the site for actual island adventure needs—sunscreen, bathing suits,
books—because, as they say, when life hands you lemons, make lemonade. And then there were the few who took it upon
themselves to try to survive on the imaginary island. For legal reasons: We’re joking when we say you can live off
of body butter, GOOPGLOW superpowder, and Cocofloss.
THE REALISTS
“I love the G.Tox scrub’s frothy lather and how fresh and clean and soft my hair and scalp feel after I
shampoo with it. It’s soothing and nourishing, it feels heavenly, and it leaves my hair shiny and
bouncy. Add a little salt water from said desert island and I’ll have perfect no-styling-required beachy
waves.” —Brianna Peters, assistant beauty editor

“This is a very difficult question. Emotionally, I want to say GOOPGENES superpowder because we’ve been
through so much together, from the first sip in the development cycle to when I got three free packs with my
last order. GreenPan is an option. Actually, I was looking through my order history, and I think it’s the
Buffy comforter. We don’t have it on the site anymore, but it is pretty great. If anything, I wish it were
heavier.” —Julian Ordaz-Fernandez, manager, merchandise operations

“I can’t leave home without my infrared sauna blanket. Just kidding. I actually use the Shiso perfume as my
cologne. But to be honest, the Theragun is the thing from goop that I use the most. It helps with
everything. If you do any kind of physical activity that makes you sore, it’s good to have on hand.” —Justin

“The goop vitamin C is my favorite. And I also love the ZIIP. I just turned four women in my family on to
the mini nanoccurent device. It does wonders for your pores. I like the lymphatic drainage routine and do it
while I watch TV. Your face does look different afterward—it’s like getting a facial.” —Sandra

“My boyfriend got me a weighted blanket for the holidays last year, and I don’t know what life was before I had
this thing. Normally, I’m a big fidgeter. I toss and turn and shuffle around my pillows over and over before I
finally feel settled, and I wake up to move throughout the night. It’s not much fun, and it’s probably super
annoying for anyone who has to share a bed with me. But there’s something about a weighted blanket that squishes
you down in just the right way. I feel comfortably tucked in. Not so compelled to move every fifteen seconds. My
legs aren’t itching to rearrange themselves. Going to bed isn’t so frustrating. I fall asleep and stay asleep.
And as you might guess: My boyfriend likes it, too.” —Kelly Martin, associate editor

“I would pick the Himalayan salt hair scrub and the Slip pillowcase. The silk pillowcase isn’t for my
hair—it’s for my skin. I have linen sheets, which are rough on my face. The silk feels soft on my skin, and
I don’t wake up with sheet imprints on my face.” —Diana Ryu, chief of staff

THE SURVIVALISTS
“I’m somehow stressed about my desert island pick. Am I alone? Do I have Wi-Fi? Or will no one see me ever?
If I have Wi-Fi, I need to worry more about my skin and clothes, so maybe a chic Natalie Martin caftan. I
was going to say the peel pads, but I probably can’t use them and be in the sun that much. If I don’t have
Wi-Fi, then I need something to pass the time, so maybe downloaded episodes of The goop Podcast or a
50,000-piece puzzle. That G. Label Southampton shirtdress would be great for a desert island.” —Noora Raj

“If I were literally on a desert island, obviously priority number one would be sunscreen. The Organic
Pharmacy SPF 50 is the best, best, best clean mineral formula out there because it sinks in like magic,
moisturizes, and works for both face and body. And it has to be mineral because I don’t want to be killing
coral every time I jump in the ocean (that’s what chemical sunscreen can do). And I don’t want to irritate
my skin; I want to soothe it.” —Jean Godfrey-June, executive beauty director

“A swimsuit, obviously. But not just any suit—I’m talking about a G. Label suit that’s made in Italy from
the softest stretch-jersey fabric that doesn’t hug, tug, or rub. Because as much as I’d like to channel a
rather bronzed-looking Brooke Shields in The Blue Lagoon, some of us require coverage. Extra points for bringing
along the Himalayan salt scrub (although, I guess if you were really stuck on an island you could just whip
up a salt scrub yourself).” —Alyssa Nelsen Geiger, senior creative copywriter

“You say desert island, and I immediately—reflexively—squint. I don’t think I would
survive long in general (and
would quickly need to embrace Drake’s maxim: here for a
good time, not a long time). Anyway, I would need
sunglasses, and these are my favorite of all time. They somehow make me look cool, which through years of
personal testing and research I’d estimate applies to only 1 out of every 10,000 pairs of sunglasses I try on.
And oversize sunglasses protect the skin under your eyes from sun exposure, too, which makes these extra
appealing. Speaking of sun exposure: I would obviously try to smuggle in some moisturizing SPF 50 mineral
sunscreen, because that’s my brand.” —Jessie Geoffray, senior editor
