FTL’s portfolio company Bolt Threads launched a beauty company Eighteen B that uses bioengineered and lab-grown silk protein as a key ingredient for beauty products, including moisturizers. The properties of silk which are used in medicine help to heal wounds, since the material can mimic the skin’s protective barrier and help to retain moisture.
Eighteen B is a nontoxic beauty brand which features products free from sulfates, parabens, silicone, petrochemicals, and fragrance. All products are made from clean ingredients including bark extracts, shea butter, and ceramides. The company has found a way to manufacture the silk protein without hydrolyzing it or degrading it, allowing to retain more of its valuable properties. Eighteen B’s protein - “B-silk,” works with the structural proteins found in the skin, like collagen and elastin. According to the company the exclusive beauty products will form a breathable, protective barrier that will help skin to retain moisture, while also firming and smoothing the skin over time.

CO2 capturing factories are a part of the green revolution which can save us from climate change. Technically feasible factories can capture CO2 from the air and turn it into useful products, creating more jobs around the globe. According to economic analysis geoengineering technology is inching closer to commercial viability.
A few inspiring examples include:
- CO2 factories in Italy and Canada capture carbon and turn it into carbon-neutral fuel. Currently, the plant in Italy can pull about 150 tons of carbon dioxide per year from the atmosphere.
- Climeworks is the first industrial air-capture factory in the world with the ultimate goal to remove CO2 from the air, counteract global warming, and reduce air pollution and its associated health risks. Their facility near Reykjavik scrubs CO2 from geothermal steam leaving Iceland’s Hellisheiði power plant and begins the process of securing it underground, where it reacts with basalt rocks to form stable new minerals.
"Highly scalable negative emission technologies are crucial if we are to stay below the 2-degree target (for global temperature rise) of the international community,"- Christoph Gebald, co-founder and managing director of Climeworks.

The miracles of biology can help the fashion industry with the transition to a sustainable future. Each year more than 3,500 chemicals used in the industry go into waterways, polluting and damaging the surrounding ecosystem. Some companies have already started to experiment with dyeing fabrics through the use of microbes.
The U.K based bio design research studio Faber Futures uses Streptomyces coelicolor - a bacteria that produces pigment as it grows during its week-long life. “The microbe naturally changes color based on the pH of the medium it grows inside, so by tweaking that environment, it’s possible to create navy blue, for example, or bright pink.” The process has a lot of benefits, such as less water is needed than for typical industrial dyeing and it doesn’t require the use of agricultural land and pesticides to grow plants to make the dye.
Another great example is bio design project “Living Colour” created by Dutch designers Laura Luchtman and Ilfa Siebenhaar, which also focuses on textile dyeing with bacteria. At the same time it explores ways to accelerate growth and manipulate the bacteria pigments into patterns through sound waves.
