P2 Science, Inc. has launched Citropol® range of emollients, a patented class of materials derived from the forest. P2 presented details of Citropol® 1A, first product in the range, in a webcast.
Citropol® 1A- Silicone Alternative
Citropol® 1A has generated extraordinary results in a range of applications when compared with commonly used silicones. Manufacturing of the new product range has already started at P2’s manufacturing plant in Naugatuck, CT. The plant has been running 24 hours per day in recent weeks to build stock to support the launch.
“
The commercial introduction of this product range is the culmination of many years of work on a lab and pilot plant stage, following the inventive breakthrough made by our team in Woodbridge,” said Patrick Foley, chief science officer at P2.
New Class of Low MW Liquid Polymers
Citropol® 1A represents a genuinely new development in the personal care and cosmetics ingredients market. It is the first in a brand new class of low MW liquid polymers that are made from terpenes derived from the forest.
Citropol® 1A imparts distinct lubricating properties when used as low as 1 percent in skin or hair formulations. The result is a slippery, silky formulation that does not compromise human and environmental safety. The product is compatible in cosmetics, skin care, hair care, fragrance, deodorizing and moisturizing applications.
“
Not many people know that our roots go back to the Yale School of Forestry where our co-founder, Paul Anastas, holds a professorship. We are therefore really pleased to be able to introduce a product line derived from forestry feed-stocks,” said Neil Burns, CEO at P2.
