Founded in 2019 by natural products industry veteran Heather K. Terry, GoodSAM is a B-Corp Certified snack and food brand on a mission to create a positive impact at every stage of the food journey—from the soil to the table.
Our products are made with high-quality, simple ingredients that deliver nutrition you can feel good about. Our direct trade model eliminates the middleman, allowing us to build authentic partnerships with smallholder farmers and ensure they receive fair wages for their hard work. Through this model, we’re not just providing simple, wholesome ingredients—we’re investing in farmers’ futures and their communities.
At GoodSAM, we prioritize regenerative farming practices that protect and enrich the soil, helping farms thrive for generations to come. We focus on creating a food ecosystem that benefits the planet, supports the farmers who grow our ingredients, and strengthens the communities we serve.
When you choose GoodSAM, you’re choosing more than just a snack—you’re fueling a movement towards a resilient, sustainable food system. Through food, we care.
Together, we can create a future where both people and the planet thrive. Let’s build a sustainable, equitable food system—one snack at a time.

S.W. Basics is a line of truly all-natural, minimalist skincare products, each made from only 5 ingredients or less.
Why this minimalist approach to skincare?
• Fewer ingredients = less chance for irritation, making the products perfect for sensitive skin.
• Fewer ingredients = higher potency. We use only whole, natural ingredients of impeccable quality, no cheap fillers, exotic botanicals, or para-sulfate-whatchamacallits.
• Fewer ingredients = a smaller environmental impact. All S.W. Basics ingredients are sourced from organic, fair trade, or family farms.
• Fewer ingredients = healthier skincare. Over 10,000 industrial chemicals are used as cosmetic ingredients, and many popular products list 30–60 ingredients in their formulations. Not only are S.W. Basics products free of harmful synthetic chemicals, but their simplicity offers confused, bombarded skin a chance to recover.
The line is completely fragrance free; designed for all skin types regardless of gender, age, or ethnicity; and is packaged in beautiful, neo-apothecary glass bottles.
