Ever wondered who the brains behind our Good Riddance Insect Repellents are? Meet Sean!

Just like any great dad, Sean’s our jack of all trades, but he’s mastered the art of making insect repellent. You might’ve met him at one of our events or at the Darwin markets a decade ago. Now, he’s happily behind the scenes.

Before repelling bugs, Sean spent 15 years as the Process Engineer for some of Australia’s finest sugar at Bundaberg Sugar. Today, he’s the genius behind our in-house production. He’s also got a love for automating the office & upgrading our lab with new tech, like our bottling machines.

Fun fact: Sean’s love for efficiency is why we have our 500ml Tropical Insect Repellent! So, as Sean would say, Get Pumping! Gift your dad our Dad-crafted repellent & enjoy FREE EXPRESS SHIPPING so it arrives for Saturday.

And, as Sean has enough repellent, this appreciation post is my gift to him. Hope you enjoy, Dad—Happy Father’s Day! 😁

We are beyond excited to share that, thanks to your amazing support, we were recently able to contribute a further $7,500 to support the important conservation work Australian Wildlife Conservancy carries out around Australia.

But that's not all - a generous benefactor has matched our donation, doubling the impact of our latest contribution to $15,000!

This amazing achievement is all because of you. Every purchase, online comment you've left, and person you have told about Good Riddance, has played a crucial role in helping grow the level of support we can provide to AWC.

Together, we have now provided over $52,000 in support to Australian Wildlife Conservancy.

As a proud 1% for the Planet member, we donate 1% of every sale (not just profit) to AWC, ensuring that your purchases make a real difference in preserving Australia's precious wildlife and ecosystems.

This has helped fund some incredible recent projects, including...
- Construction of a 53km feral predator-proof fence to help endangered wallabies thrive in South-West NSW
- Reintroducing brush-tail and burrowing bettongs to the Central Desert after 60 years of local extinction
- Reducing feral predator numbers to help re-establish WA's chuditch population

Did you know that by packaging our repellent in tubes, we have halved the weight of plastic packaging we use compared to other repellents packaged in pump bottles or roll ons?

While we'd love to go completely plastic free with our products, it's also important that they are packaged in a material that won't react with the cream while also keeping it away from light and air, and being durable enough to be carried around with you (unlike glass). Choosing to package our products in tubes was one decision we made to help minimise our impact where we can.

We have also sourced our packaging from an Australian packaging supplier who is able to provide us with tubes that biodegrade if they end up in landfill. That means our tubes can be recycled in your household recycling bin, but if they end up in a landfill, they are designed to break down in less than 10 years, without creating microplastics. During manufacturing, a natural additive is mixed in with the plastic. This additive attracts bacteria that naturally occur in landfills and allows them to begin digesting the plastic.

It's one step we are taking now to help minimise our impact but we are always on the lookout for ways we could do even better!
