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.

  • 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.
