We’re developing ocean-friendly, sustainable, and healthy everyday products made from seaweed, while also demonstrating how business and sustainability can go hand in hand.

OCEAN SAVING. Period.

Vyld uses algae's superpowers to combine TRUE sustainability, nature connection, and empowerment!

Vyld was founded in 2021 by Marine Guide Ines Schiller as a profit-for-purpose company in Berlin. Together with co-founder Melanie Schichan, they have made it their goal to create fully sustainable, ocean-friendly and healthy absorbent products made from seaweed.

They are supported by a wonderful team: the two biotechnologists Stefanie Malchow (R&D Lead Scientist) and Helena Rheinbay (R&D Scientist).

Vyld CEO Ines is a certified marine guide, serial social entrepreneur (FOGMA, MeinGrundeinkommen, CellAg Germany), screenwriter/film producer (LOVE STEAKS, TIGER GIRL), philosopher and neuroscientist, with a passion for feminism and biotechnology. As an ocean lover, saving the ocean is close to her heart; as a menstruator, she finally wants a product that is sustainable and that she can truly rely on. She founded Vyld because she deeply believes in seaweed’s potential to inspire a rethinking of our production systems in a regenerative way.

This is us! Meet the founders of Vyld! We are Ines and Melli and we are developing the world's first tampon made from seaweed.
