Capsum

Capsum is a company based in Marseille, France, that was founded in 2008 by three scientists from Harvard and ESPCI Paris. It transforms microfluidics from a laboratory science into a business, producing encapsulated cosmetic ingredients and microfluidic-inspired formulations for beauty brands. Its technologies include pearl and bubble technologies, and it has collaborated with brands such as La Prairie, Chanel, L'Occitane, Dolomia, and Mantle. Capsum operates a production site in Marseille and an Austin factory, and emphasizes sustainability through clean formulas and precision indoor farming.

Capsum was born from the dream of three top-level scientists from Harvard and ESPCI Paris to transform microfluidics from a lab science to a business. In 2008, the start-up was created and embarked on its cosmetic journey, producing the first encapsulated cosmetic ingredients using microfluidics. In 2009, it established its first production site in Marseille, France. In 2011, it began using 3D printing to create microfluidic machines. In 2012, it launched Liquid Lift with La Prairie, the first pearl serum with a caviar-like formula, and received the Innovation Award from INPI. In 2015, it launched the first serum of liquid oil bubbles, Chanel Hydra Beauty Micro Serum, and the first microfluidics-inspired cream. In 2016, its bubble technology serums won Gold at In-Cosmetics Global. In 2017, it launched the first serum of gelified oil bubbles, L'Occitane Immortelle Night Reset Serum.
