P2 Science, Inc., a leading green chemistry company transforming sustainable feedstocks into high-performance ingredients, today announced the launch of CitroComplex® Nourish, a fusion of natural oils and green chemistry designed for next-generation skin and hair care formulations.
The new product is powered by Citropol® DE-4, P2’s globally compliant, award-winning, innovative high-viscosity polymeric emollient derived from renewable forestry byproducts.
Built on P2’s patented green chemistry platform, this launch expands the company’s portfolio of sustainable, high-performance ingredients for the global beauty and personal care market.
CitroComplex® Nourish combines Citropol® DE-4 with natural oils including meadowfoam seed oil and daikon radish seed extract—two natural, U.S.-grown oils known for their unique fatty acid profile, hydration, and sensory benefits. This unique blend delivers a lightweight, nourishing skin feel with excellent spreadability and quick absorption, making it ideal for facial oils, creams, serums, and body care applications.
Designed to support the skin barrier and moisture retention, CitroComplex Nourish offers a natural, high-performance solution that takes all the guesswork out of choosing the right oils for your next skincare launch. While designed for skincare, CitroComplex Nourish is compatible and effective across hair care formats.
CitroComplex Nourish is 99% natural (ISO 16128), 90% North America sourced, globally compliant, and conforms to vegan requirements.
“When we launched our CitroComplex® Hair blend, we were blown away by the response from customers. We wanted to build on that success with a new offering designed for nourishing effects in skincare, hair care, and beyond.
CitroComplex Nourish brings the benefits of thoughtfully chosen American-grown botanicals together with the power of green chemistry,” said CEO Oihana Elizalde. “With CitroComplex Nourish, we’ve identified oils with a unique fatty acid profile, complemented by the luxurious sensory of Citropol® DE-4, delivering high performance for skin and hair care with unbeatable sensory.”
CitroComplex® Nourish is now available globally through P2 Science and its distribution partners. This new ingredient aligns with P2’s mission to detoxify, defossilize, and decarbonize everyday materials. It is expected to be inherently biodegradable (testing in process), vegan compliant, and registered in major markets globally, offering brands a clear path to meeting consumer and regulatory demands for more sustainable formulations.
