For Immediate Release

SCOTT'S LIQUID GOLD-INC.
ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER OPERATING RESULTS

DENVER, Colorado (May 5, 2005) -- Scott's Liquid Gold-Inc. (OTC BB:
"SLGD"), which develops, manufactures and markets household and skin
care products, today announced its operating results for the first
quarter of 2005.

For the three months ended March 31, 2005, net sales were $5,522,500
compared with net sales of $5,209,000 in the first quarter of the
previous year.  The Company reported a net loss of $394,900 or
($0.04) per share, in the most recent quarter, versus a net loss of
350,800 or ($0.03) per share, in the three months ended March 31,
2004.

Mark E. Goldstein, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer of Scott's Liquid Gold-Inc., commented "During the first
quarter of 2005, we experienced an increase in sales of our
Montagne Jeunesse line of skin care products while experiencing
a decrease in sales of our other skin care products and our
line of household chemical products.  The loss for 2005 was
primarily due to a lower profit margin on the increased sales
of our Montagne Jeunesse products and to the household chemical
products sales decrease.  Mr. Goldstein went on to comment
"We are in the early stages of introducing four new items
in our Alpha Hydrox line of cosmetic products.  We are also
introducing a new wood care product under the Scott's
Liquid Gold product line. "

Scott's Liquid Gold-Inc. develops, manufactures and markets high
quality household and consumer products, including Scott's Liquid
Gold wood cleaners/preservatives, Touch of Scent air fresheners,
Alpha Hydrox skin care products, and Neoteric Diabetic Skin Care
products.  Scott's Liquid Gold-Inc. also distributes skin care
sachets of Montagne Jeunesse.  The Company is headquartered in
Denver, Colorado, and its common stock trades on the OTC Bulletin
Board under the symbol "SLGD".
