Summary

Join us for a special interview with the founder of beauty technology supplier , Capsum, Sébastien Bardon. Capsum is well known for creating products that utilize microfluidic technology such as some of our favorites by brands including Algenist , Chanel and so many more! You may recognize their products as those with the “micro beads” in them that are not only beautiful to look at but result in some of the most amazing products in beauty. A scientist by training (author of a physics thesis)—who is, above all, an entrepreneur passionate about innovation—Sébastien Bardon created Capsum in 2008 after graduating with an MBA from the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Capsum is the result of meeting two, high-level researchers: David Weitz, from Harvard University, and Jérôme Bibette, from ESPCI ParisTech. The concept? Renewing cosmetics, thanks to microfluidics, by designing products that are visually and sensorially innovative that revolutionize beauty routines while protecting active ingredients ... As a visionary, Sébastien commits Capsum to clean, natural cosmetics under the following mission: “We hack beauty by creating emotional products while limiting our environmental impact.”
