Vyld is rewriting the rulebook for sustainable personal care by harnessing the power of seaweed. Founded in Berlin by marine guide and social entrepreneur Ines Schiller, together with co-founder Melanie Schichan and a team of biotechnologists, Vyld is pioneering the world’s first tampons and absorbent products made from regenerative seaweed fibers. The brand’s mission goes far beyond product innovation: Vyld is structured as a steward-owned, profit-for-purpose company, ensuring that all profits are reinvested into ocean health, climate action, and social good. From day one, Vyld has challenged the industry’s status quo—replacing plastics and resource-intensive materials with kelp, and proving that business can be a force for systemic change. Their approach is holistic: every decision, from raw material sourcing to company governance, is designed to maximize global impact, with measurable results and transparent reporting. Projects like the Vyndel compostable diaper insert and the Diaper Forest pilot in Hamburg show Vyld’s commitment to closing loops and restoring ecosystems, not just reducing harm. What sets Vyld apart is its fusion of biotechnology, activism, and purpose-driven entrepreneurship. The team’s vision is as bold as it is pragmatic: to make the world “vylder” by showing that ocean-friendly, circular products can be both radically sustainable and uncompromisingly effective. In a landscape crowded with greenwashing, Vyld stands out as the real deal—innovating for the planet, owned by its mission, and inviting everyone to rethink what’s possible when nature leads the way.
