VERTICAL FARMING

Advanced cultivation for plant-based ingredients augmented by tech The new frontier of sustainable Beauty In partnership with Interstellar Lab

Initially developed for space exploration, Interstellar Lab’s BioPods’ vertical farming involves growing crops in vertically stacked layers, in controlled environments with the help of artificial intelligence. It offers an innovative solution, crucial for bolstering the resilience of L’Oréal’s specialty ingredient value chains. This is especially critical for vulnerable botanicals facing threats like geopolitical risks, climate change impacts, and potential extinction. Vertical farming aims to provide a complete control over plant growth, eliminating environmental variations for consistent, pesticide-free, and readily available fresh plants near our production centers. Leveraging the understanding of plant biology and the power of artificial intelligence, it optimizes water and energy consumption, aiming to mitigate climate change effects, and ensure consistent, high-quality plant material for high-performing cosmetic ingredients. With vertical farming, L’Oréal brings the pure essence of nature to sustainable Beauty.

Come to our booth and see how we cultivate key botanicals in a controlled environment, free from the limitations of climate and seasons. Discover how this innovative approach would allow us to harvest plants at their peak, ensuring sourcing of ingredients for our cosmetic products. Experience the journey from plant to product and learn about the unique properties of these exceptional ingredients.
