We appreciate a company with an ethos. Makin’ It Great is not an ethos. Neither is Built Ford Tough. Help Remedies has a simple one: Help people. Make ethical and environmentally sounds products. Give some money back, oh yeah…have a laugh about it. Right now they can help you by providing toilet kit essentials like space-age bandages and organic aspirin, all packaged in nondescript recycled paper mold. They also have company motto inspired t-shirt, where you can fill in this sentence “Help I…” with a personalized cry for assistance. We find their way of doing things so refreshing that we hope they offer a little more in terms of product selection next time. Come on guys, it’s our turn to help.

Infusing their products with a bit of humor makes them different than any other first aid products that I’ve ever seen and prompted me to write this post. They say laughter is the best medicine and that is a corporate message that I can get behind and tell my friends about. Other people apparently feel the same way, since it has gotten great coverage on various health, marketing and environmental blogs. […]
