Cellarim Labs

Cellarim Labs is an Indian biotechnology startup developing a next-generation cell-free biomanufacturing platform for the sustainable production of high-value ingredients used in the beauty and personal care industry. Founded in 2023 and headquartered in Bengaluru, the company leverages engineered enzymes to convert renewable feedstocks into high-purity bioactive ingredients without relying on conventional microbial fermentation or petrochemical processes. Its mission is to transform specialty chemical manufacturing by delivering cleaner, more efficient, and environmentally sustainable alternatives that reduce resource consumption while ensuring consistent product quality. At the core of Cellarim's innovation is its proprietary enzymatic, cell-free manufacturing technology, which enables precise control over biochemical reactions while eliminating the variability associated with living cells. This approach offers faster production cycles, improved scalability, higher yields, and lower energy consumption compared with traditional fermentation methods. The company's flagship product, NeuHyal™, is a portfolio of hyaluronic acid ingredients manufactured through this advanced platform, providing high purity, consistent molecular weight profiles, and enhanced sustainability for skincare and cosmetic formulations. The platform also enables the development of additional specialty biomolecules for personal care, biotechnology, and industrial applications. Cellarim collaborates with cosmetic brands, formulators, ingredient manufacturers, and research partners to accelerate the adoption of sustainable bio-based ingredients. By integrating enzyme engineering, synthetic biology, automation, and scalable bioprocess design, the company aims to build a reliable and transparent supply chain for next-generation specialty chemicals. Its technology reduces dependence on fossil fuel-derived ingredients while supporting clean-label products and environmentally responsible manufacturing. Through scientific innovation, sustainable production, and precision biomanufacturing, Cellarim Labs is positioning itself as a key contributor to the global bioeconomy and the future of sustainable beauty ingredients.
