We recently celebrated Women’s Day on 8th March. It is the 21st century and women are just as amazing and hardworking. They are launching their own wellness brands to attract the masses and educate them. For example, Poosh by Kourtney Kardashian. It could be related to women’s healthcare, hydration drinks, skincare and the list goes on. But sometimes these brand ideas are similar to each other and people have a tendency to point out these details. Goop is a wellness brand by the ‘Iron Man‘ actress Gwyneth Paltrow which was launched back in 2008.
Now, Poosh is a similar brand by Kourtney, which was launched in 2019. They both have similar aesthetics, products and target audiences. It is natural for people to create comparisons between both brands. Paltrow stated in an interview that she was upset when Poosh was launched.

Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow is keeping it real through her views and statements. Before she made a statement on how white women still have to learn a lot from black women. Now in an interview with People Magazine, she made a statement on the controversy of her brand Goop’s rivalry with Poosh.
In 2019 when Poosh was launched, it was compared to Goop and people were bringing both the women down. Gwyneth said, “I was so upset when Poosh was launched and people were like, this is a ripoff of Goop. I was like, this is so awful, and trying to pit us against one another which is so crazy“. Well, it is somewhat true. People plot successful women against each other and bring them down for no reason. Gwyneth continued, “The world is better and stronger when women are in cahoots with one another”.

During their candle launch, Paltrow and Kardashian had a conversation and they discussed how women can have the same interest in the same fields and they are not taking something away from others or undermining the other in some way. To which Kardashian agreed by saying, “I know there was going to be comparison when we were starting and I think that something my sisters and I pride ourselves in is being really supportive, too, of other brands in the same space, because there’s so much room.”
