They're both grifts, so it make sense that they'd sell the same thing.

Horseshoe political theory, but with marketing and capitalist exploitation just baked right in, assumed as default, despite whatever the brand marketing sells you as your personality.

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.
