R&D-LABORATORY
Capsum, France



2022
July
At 2022 iFarm constructed a small laboratory on behalf of microfluidics cosmetics start-up, Capsum. Situated within the company’s existing Research & Development site at its Marseille plant, the mini-laboratory enables Capsum to cultivate their own high-quality ingredients for new cosmetic formulas.

Using iFarm technologies, Capsum grows a range of crops, including microgreens and flowers, and creates and tests their own plant varieties based on iFarm plant growth recipes. iFarm Growtune software is used to manage the scientific mini-farm, giving Capsum the requisite tools and data to optimise plant growth and maximise yields.

The mini-laboratory consists of four rooms: an engineering room where the automation control system is located and three additional growing rooms with experimental racks. This set-up allows Capsum to conduct experiments, test new plant varieties and streamline its supply chain with pesticide-free cosmetics ingredients being grown on site.
Capsum uses only natural ingredients to create its beauty products. The company plans to build its own industrial vertical farm in order to produce environmentally friendly raw materials all year round.”
