A bold new chapter in hair care innovation begins with Dualité Molécul’hair, an exclusive concept product created by three science-driven powerhouses: CAPSUM, Curie Co, and P2 Science. This visionary collaboration blends patented formulation technology, biotechnology, and green chemistry to deliver multifaceted benefits, one-of-a-kind performance, and a unique user experience designed for the modern beauty consumer.
Dualité Molécul’hair is a clean, concentrated leave-in treatment that combines bond-building technology, styling control, and conditioning care. Applied to damp hair, it detangles and conditions, defining natural texture, locking in style, and resisting frizz and humidity. It is suitable for all hair types.
Leveraging CAPSUM’s multi-patented technologies, Dualité Molécul’hair comprises two synergistic formulas—an emulsion and a microfluidic encapsulated gel—that coexist in a single chamber, mixing and activating upon use. Thus, it reinvents the dual-chamber packaging concept with less plastic.
The emulsion formula features Curamina™, a novel bond-builder created by Curie Co’s proprietary biotech platform. When paired with proteins and peptides, Curamina™ instantly creates essential peptide bonds around the hair cuticle, sealing the protein to the hair and providing a long-lasting film around the hair fiber. This action unlocks many benefits to support hair health and manageability, such as increased shine, humidity resistance, and long-lasting style retention.
The microfluidic gel formula encapsulates plant-based protein and Citropol® DE-4, an award-winning and globally compliant high molecular weight polymeric emollient powered by green chemistry. It offers a sustainable replacement for silicones and heavy esters. Citropol® DE-4 is derived from terpenes, the natural oil of pine trees, and is designed to enhance the sensory experience of natural formulas while providing conditioning and detangling benefits to hair.
Dualité Molécul’hair is >98% of natural origin (ISO16128), silicone, and surfactant-free for a clean, vegan, and natural high-performing hair care formula. When dispensed, the two formulas mix, initiating the bonding-building activity. Together, the two-phase system delivers dual benefits: conditioning and detangling from Citropol® DE-4 and style retention and hair manageability from Curamina™.
Tested across multiple hair types, Dualité Molécul’hair is styling therapy, a leave-in formula shown to: • Define curls and waves • Tame frizz and resist humidity • Detangle and soften hair • Maintain styled curls, body, and shape • Boost shine and smoothness
“Curamina™ is a powerful example of how biotechnology can unlock multifunctional performance through sustainable design,” said Erika Milczek, CEO of Curie Co. “We reached out to CAPSUM to collaborate on this project because of their reputation for creative design in formulation and manufacturing. The dual-formula technology is a more sustainable alternative to dual-chamber packaging—less plastic—and offers an exciting opportunity to showcase Curamina™ in a sensorial and inspiring new format. By pairing it with different proteins, brands can easily tailor solutions to a variety of haircare needs—from frizz control to style memory. The dual-phase system brings that customization to life. Collaborating with P2 Science further elevated the concept; Citropol® complements Curamina™ perfectly, highlighting the best of biotech and green chemistry. Together, we’ve created a styling therapy that’s versatile, eco-conscious, and rooted in science.”
“Citropol is becoming a go-to technology for hair care brands who need high performance, sustainable, unique ingredients. We’re proud to have a successful track record of partnering with leading hair care brands to enable next-gen formulations, and this collaboration takes our leadership in hair care to the next level. Green chemistry and biotech have the capacity to deliver unique and innovative solutions that check all the boxes. We’re thrilled to see this unique collaboration come to life, bringing together three science-forward innovations to create an elegant concept that represents the future of haircare,” said Oihana Elizalde, CEO of P2 Science.
“This is why our proprietary technologies were made: intelligent formulations that can house potent ingredients and deliver a unique consumer experience. It’s skincare science applied to hair. A modern, eco-conscious package and formula, featuring modern and eco-conscious ingredients that deliver results,” said Isabelle Ricart, Marketing Director at CAPSUM.
Dualité Molécul’hair will make its global debut at in-cosmetics Global in Amsterdam, April 8–10, where it will be showcased at the Curie Co booth (EU135) and P2 Science booth (11F41). The concept will continue its international tour at key events, including NYSCC Suppliers’ Day, MakeUp in New York, and California SCC Suppliers’ Day throughout 2025.
