inShoutout to the avant-garde brands using algae-based dyes, but are we sacrificing color fastness for eco-points?
So what's the real barrier to scaling these algae dyes? Cost of production must be insane. Or patent issues holding back wider use. How do we verify lightfastness claims without industry standards. Feels like we're trusting lab reports over real world durability tests. Where's the data on color retention after fifty washes, not just five?
