Sustainable Australian Liquid Soap
Fifoam is an Australian made sustainable soap produced from organic waste that is otherwise destined for landfill. This lightly lavender-scented foaming liquid soap is produced in Albany, WA from Australian oil. The oil is Saponified Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) oil which is highly moisturising.
A New Sustainable Way to Make Soap:
Today, most of the soap we use is not sustainable. Natural resources like Palm oil are lost down the drain with each use - Palm oil is obtained by clearing tropical forests. While these soaps enable us to wash dirt away, our use of palm oil based soaps, also entails wasting it. We are essentially washing away the resources (ie the rainforest) used for its production, down the drain.
There is now an eco-friendly solution to replace Palm oil in soap, and it uses the organic matter we commonly throw in the bin and send to landfill. Australia alone generates millions of tons of organic waste each year, damaging the environment and releasing harmful methane into the atmosphere.
The Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) is an insect that can be farmed to convert organic waste to useful resources at an industrial level and using its protein and oil to make liquid soaps is a viable, sustainable option in the manufacture of soap products. An innovative West Australian based manufacturer is making such soaps, made from Local 100% Australian oil. This oil also yields highly moisturising soap. As a result, resources that would otherwise go to waste are now part of a circular economy. This is why Fifoam soap is a game changer.
