COSMOFACTORY

Green Chemistry principles have relevance throughout the chemical sector. Along the cosmetic and personal care supply chain, they’re evident in new ingredient development, raw material sourcing, and more.

 

This week on the CosmoFactory podcast, we learn how novel ingredient science is being used to replace petrochemical ingredients with clean, plant-based alternatives. Our guest is Oihana Elizalde, CEO of P2 Science, a material innovation startup serving the cosmetics, fragrance, fashion, and crop care industries. The company is based in Woodbridge, Connecticut, US, and was founded in 2011 on the principles of Green Chemistry. In the beauty ingredient marketplace, P2 is best known for its Citropol® line of liquid polymers derived from upcycled, locally sourced pine tree oil.
