P2 Science has been named to Fast Company’s 2026 list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies, with recognition centered on its Citropol F sustainable fragrance enhancer—an ingredient technology addressing one of perfumery’s most persistent technical constraints: longevity.
Developed via the company’s PICE platform, Citropol F is derived from renewable terpene feedstocks and classified as 100% natural origin under ISO 16128, offering a globally compliant alternative to conventional fixatives.
The material enables measurable improvements in scent duration and performance across fine fragrance and functional formats, including hair care, body care and deodorants, without compromising formulation flexibility or sustainability targets.
The technology reflects a broader shift toward high-performance, biobased materials that can meet rising consumer and brand expectations for both efficacy and environmental responsibility.
By extending fragrance wear time through molecular design rather than traditional fixation systems, Citropol F expands creative possibilities for perfumers while supporting cleaner label claims.
Adoption by brands such as Rare Beauty underscores its commercial relevance, with further potential across home, air and fabric care categories where scent longevity remains a key driver of product value.
