Gelofils

Gelofils are biodegradable and compostable yarns. Derived from the marine biomass, I manufacture them from macroalgae according to a technique I developed and patented in my workshop.
Initially intended to be woven, Gelofils can however find other applications in the food sector because their exclusively vegetable composition makes them materials to taste slightly sweet, can be edible. They can also find uses in the fields of cosmetology and care materials because it has healing, hydrating and repairing properties skin contact.
