We are Sea Dragon Botanicals, a specialised contract manufacturer of soap and skincare based in a rural location on the far south coast of Western Australia. It is a small, family business owned by Jasper Trendall and Lindy Leggett.
We started out in 1995 and have been making soap for almost 30 years. It would be fair to say that when we started we didn't really know a lot about soap making. We do now and the learning has never stopped.
There isn't really any substitute for hands-on experience and the quality of our bar and liquid soaps has slowly but steadily evolved and improved.
In 2021 we were asked by an innovative insect farming company in Perth (Future Green Solutions - now Arvela) if there might be a way to use the oil that they were harvesting from farmed Black Soldier Fly Larvae in personal care products like skincare and soap.
That was the beginning of fifoam - a soap that is made using oil harvested from farmed insects. Importantly, the insects are fed organic waste that would otherwise be destined for landfill. For practical purposes the soap is "made" from landfill - it utilises resources that would otherwise be wasted.
Best of all it is a very high quality soap. It is a great example of an environmentally sustainable product that does not compromise quality or function. It is a better soap and helps make a better planet.
