P2 Science Overview

Founded in 2009, P2 Science was started by two scientists from Yale University, who were disheartened by the widespread use of non-sustainable, synthetic compounds found in everyday use. P2 Science started with a simple vision - develop high performance, innovative ingredients that align with planetary health.

P2 Science has become a global leader in bringing naturally derived, sustainable ingredients to market; partnering with brands and manufacturers in 25 countries.

Through a proprietary process called Process Intensified Continuous Etherification ("PICE"), P2 transforms renewable forest-derived feedstocks into high-performance ingredients for use in a variety of personal care, cosmetics, and beauty products.

  • The company started up its first manufacturing plant in September 2018.
  • In 2022, P2 won five industry awards, including the Innovation Best Breakthrough Supplier Award from BeautyMatter, one of the most trusted voices in beauty.
  • In January 2023, Unilever's haircare brand, Living Proof, launched three new products built on P2's ingredients.
  • In November 2023, P2 Science announced the appointment of Oihana Elizalde, PhD as Chief Executive Officer. Oihana joined P2 after having served as Head of Sales for BASF Personal Care North America, and VP / General Manager of the MIRUM® business at Natural Fiber Welding.

P2’s investors include Advantage Capital, BASF, Chanel, Connecticut Innovations, Elm Street Ventures, HG Ventures, Lewis & Clark Agrifood, Safermade, and Xeraya.
