Safe Seas…One Dish at a Time

Safe Seas…One Dish at a Time

Santa Barbara entrepreneur Allison Jaqua—one of the three sisters behind the successful Jaqua Beauty Business—has branched out from body scrubs to scrubbing bubbles. Her new company, Seven Seas, launched last year, makes ecologically minded aromatic cleaning products for the home. “I started this line of house cleaners because I saw the need for something that went beyond the current environmentally friendly cleaners—a product that was naturally scented and also appealing to look at,” says Jaqua. The first offerings—white grapefruit- and lemongrass-scented dish liquids ($5)—have already sold out twice at Lazy Acres. With a portion of proceeds benefitting environmentalist Jean-Michel Cousteau’s Ocean Futures Society, the nontoxic, fish-friendly soap makes good on its premise of being “mindful of our waters.” –Amy Wong
