... this has been a difficult year for many. We're thankful and grateful to have come this far with our small business still expanding and growing through it all.
We're family owned and independent, and every drop, every person and every treatment that we ship and share with our friends and customers means so much to us. We focus on working directly with our customers rather than having large retail partnerships ... which keep us in close contact with our customers and their wishes. This has also kept our savvy staff busy and employed all throughout the year.
As an advocate and fan of Skin Deep since 2004 (!) and now EWG VERIFIED®, we love to see the continued growth and healthy tips that you share with all of us. We've also received several new awards this year. We've also just been approved as a Leaping Bunny brand. Hooray!”
2020 has definitely been a challenging year for everyone, including us here at Just the Goods. Following some minor renovations to our current workspace, we're now able to maintain safe working distances at all times. And I'm eager to move into our new, much larger production space as soon as renovations are complete, because that will provide enough space for employing additional staff safely.
... I'm beyond grateful to everyone for their kind interest in and generous support of Just the Goods, because it has enabled me to make more cash and in-kind donations than ever before to the local organizations I'm honored to support."
For Olay, a brand rooted in science for over 60 years, quality and safety have always been a priority. We know that our consumers really care about what goes into Olay products, and that they are increasingly looking for transparency as well as reassurances from trusted authorities like EWG. I am excited about Olay’s partnership with EWG, resulting in Olay’s first ever products to receive the EWG VERIFIED® mark. We hold ourselves to the highest standards when it comes to product formulation and quality, and we appreciate that EWG similarly applies the strictest criteria for transparency and health for any products that are recognized as part of the EWG VERIFIED® program.”

Success in 2020 is perhaps harder to measure than in other years. However, in 2020, AspenClean became the first ever household cleaning company to have EWG VERIFIED products, but we did not stop there. We used 2020 to bring home the Parents Green Pick Award and to be awarded Best Cleaning Service in Vancouver for the fifth consecutive year.
In March 2020, AspenClean announced its collection of nine cleaning products that meet EWG’s rigorous criteria for health, ingredient disclosure and transparency. These were the first-ever cleaning products to earn the EWG VERIFIED mark.
AspenClean now has 12 EWG VERIFIED products, with more coming soon.
Last year also marked the inaugural Parents’ Magazine Annual Green Picks Awards. Dozens of parent testers and eco-experts together reviewed hundreds of products across multiple categories, including cleaning products. Of them, just 17 made it to the final list of cleaning products, and the AspenClean Natural Glass cleaner ranked number one.
‘Practice what you preach’ is an apt phrase for AspenClean. This commitment to delivering effective natural home cleaning solutions has led us to being voted Best Home Cleaning Service in Vancouver by Georgia Straight for the fifth consecutive year.
With achievements like these, it is exciting to watch AspenClean move into 2021 and see what consumers can expect in the near future.”
