From Megan Potter Cosmetics to Seadragon Organic: A Journey of Growth and Innovation

In the world of cosmetics, the journey from conception to creation is often marked by creativity, determination, and a deep passion for skincare. For Mandy, the founder of Seadragon Organic, this journey began with her cousin as they embarked on an exciting venture together with Megan Potter Cosmetics. Reflecting on the early days, Mandy recalls fond memories of starting their business with makeup workshops held in her own home. The thrill of sharing their passion for beauty with others fueled their drive and set the stage for what was to come. With former award-winning products like the Illuminating Hydration Cream and Organic Refreshing Facial Oil, Mandy has now highlighted the Oceanic Evening Cream as the flagship product of Seadragon Organic. The success of this product has inspired a suite of marine skincare solutions.

One standout moment was their interview for the Mamamia You Beauty podcast, where they had the opportunity to share their story and insights with a wider audience. Meeting Mia Freedman, the powerhouse behind Mamamia, was a highlight and a testament to their growing presence in the industry.

Amidst the milestones and accolades, one significant turning point for Mandy was winning a formulating award in 2022 as an up-and-coming cosmetic chemistry student. The recognition from Provital, an international active ingredients company based in Spain, validated her dedication to mastering the craft of skincare formulation. However, with success came the realization that there was still much to learn and explore.

Driven by a desire to push the boundaries of her expertise, Mandy made the decision to pursue studies in cosmetic chemistry while still running Megan Potter Cosmetics. Feeling constrained by her current level of formulation skills, she knew that further education was essential to unlock her full potential. Despite the demands of full-time study and the closure of MPC in May 2023, Mandy remained unwavering in her determination to succeed.

In 2023, amidst the whirlwind of change, Mandy completed her studies and achieved her dream of becoming a qualified cosmetic chemist. It was a proud moment and a testament to her resilience and dedication to her craft. As Albert Einstein famously said, “Creativity is intelligence having fun,” and for Mandy, cosmetic chemistry is the perfect fusion of creativity and scientific principles.

With the closure of MPC, Mandy continued to pursue her love of creating new and effective skincare. As she entered mid-life, Mandy’s focus shifted towards exploring the best natural and sustainable ways to minimize aging.

Organic skincare had always held a special allure for Mandy, and her studies reinforced the benefits of this approach. She discovered that organic skincare could be both environmentally friendly and clinically effective, leading her to develop Seadragon Organic. Certified organic and packed with marine bio-active ingredients supported by clinical evidence, Seadragon Organic represents a culmination of Mandy’s expertise and values.

For former customers of Megan Potter Cosmetics seeking to reconnect, Seadragon Organic stands as a beacon of innovation and sustainability. As the journey continues, Mandy remains committed to crafting skincare solutions that are not only effective but also mindful of the planet and its inhabitants.
