Our take
Biofarming involves the farming of plants for biologically active ingredients, such as might be used in medicines or beauty products. The conventional approach to sourcing such materials often involves chemicals that harm the planet, so Interstellar Lab steps up to address this silent yet significant issue.
At the heart of Interstellar Lab's mission is the BioPod, a contraption that redefines cultivation practices by accelerating production cycles, enhancing the yield of bioactive compounds in the plants it grows. What sets the product apart is its potential for deployment beyond our planet, though for now the company's target is the beauty industry.
A place in the L’Oréal's Green Sciences Incubator programme marks a significant stride in the company's progress, and success in this venture could lead to L’Oréal adopting BioPods for its own production. It has raised a total funding of $10M over four rounds and enjoyed a grant from NASA in 2024. Interstellar Lab is creating a solid foundation for future growth, and there is every chance the company will play a pivotal role in reshaping the beauty industry's approach to ingredient sourcing.
