For our SoyFibe™ fabric, we blend soy fibers, Seacell® and hemp.

SoyFibe™ Ingredients
Our SoyFibe™ fabric is a carefully crafted blend of:
– soya fibers, made of soybean hulls
– Seacell®, made from nutrient-rich Icelandic seaweed
– hemp
Soy Cultivation
Soy fiber begins in the soybean fields of China, where the crop is grown for everything from food to oil. The outer hulls, not ideal for tofu production, often go toward low-value uses like animal feed. We give these hulls a second life—transforming them into a soft, high-quality fiber that adds value while treading lightly on the planet.
Making Soy Fibers
The oils inside the soybean hulls are first extracted for other uses. What remains is the protein, which is refined and dried into a fine powder. This powder is transformed into fiber through wet spinning—pushed through a spinneret (like a microscopic pasta press) and solidified into silky strands. The result is soy fiber: plant-born, and luxuriously soft.
Environmental Benefits
Soy fiber turns an existing agricultural resource into something new, reducing the need for virgin materials. By using a byproduct of soybean processing, it helps minimize waste and makes better use of what the earth already provides. Its production requires less energy than petroleum-based synthetics, and being plant-based, it’s biodegradable—breaking down naturally instead of lingering in landfills or oceans.
Finishing
We blend the plant-born strength of soy fiber with ocean-powered Seacell® and hemp—one of the most dependable sustainable fibers out there. Together, they create a fabric that’s soft against your skin, breathable in any climate, and ready to perform no matter the weather.
