P2 Science, Inc. launches Citropol® V5, a bioderived and patented alternative to volatile silicones, built on the Citropol® platform. Citropol® V5 is made from wood and is also biodegradable and biocompatible.
Production Started at Manufacturing Facility
Commercial manufacturing of the new product has already started at P2’s green chemistry manufacturing facility in Naugatuck, CT. Samples and product literature are available at the company’s website.
“
The market has, for many years, been looking for good alternatives to volatile D5 silicones in cosmetics. We are really pleased to be able to offer something with a performance profile that is superior to D5 in some key respects,” said Neil Burns, CEO of P2.
Citropol® V5: New Volatile Emollient
Citropol® V5 is a new volatile emollient that allows formulators to create high-performing, renewable, biodegradable products when used as low as 1 percent in cosmetic and personal care products.
“
This product looks and feels like a silicone. It rubs to a smooth, silky finish on the skin. On hair, it has tendency to build up is significantly less than D5. Consumers have told us that buildup is something they are anxious to avoid. V5 solves that huge problem for them,” said Burns.
Citropol® V5 is the third commercial product to come out of P2’s proprietary Citropol® series. Last month, the company pledged to support the planting of a tree for every kg of Citropol® sold. P2 Science has a product launch schedule comprising of at least one new product per month until the end of 2020.
