About the project

Tilja is a research-based design project that utilizes the properties of kelp to the absorption of heavy metals from the body Heavy metals accumulate in the body through food, contact, and by inhalation, and can have various negative effects, such as increased inflammation and skin irritation The motivation behind Tilju is my interest in methods to counteract skin eczema that I know well firsthand The specialized kelp thallus beds and seaweed ointments have the ability to reduce the amount of heavy metals in the body Special attention was paid to the appearance of both so that users are not ashamed of the use of the product or feel the need to hide it.

Tilja is a research focused design project that investigates kelp's ability to capture heavy metals, which are toxic to most wildlife, from the body. Heavy metals accurate in the body through diet, skin contact and inhibition, causing all sports of harm. The motivation behind Tilja is my desire to find the cause of my Eczema, an inflammatory condition. Engineered kelp masks and seaweed solution can decrease accumulated heavy metals in the body, this theoretically decreasing inflammation. Good design ensures a shame free use that the user will not feel the need to hide evidence of use behind bathroom cabinets.
