P2 uses patented oxidation technology to convert vegetable feedstocks into high value specialty chemicals used in cosmetics, personal care, fragrance and other consumer markets. P2 recently started up its first commercial scale manufacturing plant in Connecticut USA.

One such novel ingredient, Hydrofleur™ was introduced in June 2018 by P2's marketing partner, Bedoukian Research at the World Perfumery Congress in Nice, France.
Neil Burns, CEO, described the P2 plant as running a process unlike any other "We do oxidation, inspired by nature, run under the mildest imaginable conditions, gently cooled to below 40 Degrees Fahrenheit, with no applied pressure or heat and a tiny environmental footprint. It's deceptively simple, but it's never been done before. It opens up a whole new set of options for cost effective renewable products for many applications. "
