A plastic-free, soy-based baby wipe took home the top prize at the 2024 Student Soybean Innovation Competition sponsored by the Indiana Soybean Alliance and Purdue University.
SoySilk was created by Purdue University junior Kyle Han, a biological engineering major from Taipei, Taiwan, and freshman Ben Gottlieb, a finance major from Chappaqua, New York.
Han tells Brownfield outside of water, the environmentally friendly wipe alternative has only one non-soy ingredient. “We discovered a fiber that’s made from soybeans,” he says.
