Citropol Polymers: Made with Sustainable Feedstocks and Green Processing

  • Citropol polymers are derived from citronellol, a natural acyclic monoterpenoid found in citronella oils. The citronellol is derived from terpenes that are extracted from the sap of sustainably grown pine trees.
  • These raw material terpenes are Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified. This certification confirms that the forest is managed to preserve biodiversity, benefit the lives of local people and workers, and sustain economic viability.
  • P2 Science converts the citronellol into Citropol polymers by way of a green, clean, mild, and high yielding conversion process called Process Intensified Continuous Etherification

 

Citropol® 1A represents a genuinely new development in the personal care and cosmetics ingredients market. It is the first in a brand new class of low MW liquid polymers that are made from terpenes derived from the forest.

Citropol® 1A imparts distinct lubricating properties when used as low as 1% in skin or hair formulations. The result is a slippery, silky formulation that does not compromise human and environmental safety.

Citropol® 1A is compatible in cosmetics,
skin care, hair care, fragrance, deodorizing and moisturizing applications.
