P2 Science Launches Sustainable Color Cosmetics Collection

In July 2026, P2 Science, a green chemistry company, unveiled Feel Good Color, which is a sustainable color cosmetics collection. The company also released an e-book that can be downloaded and pairs about 3 of 2026’s most influential complexion trends with the formulations that contain the company’s CitroSperse bio-based pigment dispersions. CitroSperse contains polycitronellol, which is a sustainable emollient that is free of silicone.

According to Jeff Parker, VP at P2 Science, CitroSperse is an excellent, easily usable, and reliable shade after shade. He said that along with pigment strength and consistency, it has been developed on the green chemistry principles of the company. It is fully free of silicone and contains natural ingredients, which is one of its standout features in all pigment dispersions.

According to P2 Science, the Feel Good Color helps to expand the Feel Good platform and caters to the growing customers’ demand for real, sensory, and sustainable products. The Feel Good Color e-book is available on the company’s website, and it provides a summary of the latest beauty trends and formulas. The company acknowledged the rising popularity of silicone-free products and hybrid colors that prioritize skin health.

This new collection has 3 types of complexion finishes for ready-to-formulate prototypes, which are:

• Suede skin, which is a velvety medium between glow and matte, and is presented in a Liquid Silk Silicone-free Foundation and a Soft Velvet Foundation Stick.
• Cloud Skin is a soft, diffused, and filter-based complexion, which is presented in a Tinted Moisturizing Mousse.
• Solar Flush is a warm, sun-kissed flush without the UV exposure, showcased in a multi-purpose Color Stick in the Desert Orchid Shade.

Impact on the Chemical Industry

According to Precedence Research, the launch of the Feel Good Color is expected to positively impact the chemical industry due to the fact that it caters to the increasing demand for bio-based, gentle-on-skin cosmetic products. People are getting more and more aware of the long-term harm caused by synthetic chemical ingredients in mattes, after-shaves, and sunscreens. This has resulted in an increasing preference for natural ingredients, and people are willing to pay a higher price for them. 

Impact on the Cosmetics Market

The global cosmetics market size accounted for USD 424.72 billion in 2025 and is predicted to increase from USD 450.20 billion in 2026 to approximately USD 802.04 billion by 2035, at a CAGR of 6.56% from 2026 to 2035.

According to Precedence Research, the introduction of the Feel Good Color is expected to benefit the cosmetics market due to the fact that it provides a uniform and silicone-free complexion product. There are growing concerns among customers regarding skin issues due to uneven spread and the effect of chemicals on the pores of the skin. The rise in pollution, increase in stress, and modern lifestyle are increasing the prevalence of adult acne.

Acne is caused by clogged pores, and uneven cream spread increases the inflammation of the already inflamed skin. This product provides a uniform spread, which makes it reliable for customers to use according to their preferences and skin health. It also does not make use of any harsh synthetic chemicals that might cause irritation in sensitive skin types.

Impact on the Cosmetic Pigments Market

The global cosmetic pigments market size is estimated at USD 882.61 billion in 2025 and is predicted to increase from USD 954.98 billion in 2026 to approximately USD 1,923.05 billion by 2035, expanding at a CAGR of 8.10% from 2026 to 2035.

According to Precedence Research, the introduction of the Feel Good Color by P2 Science is expected to positively impact the cosmetic pigments market. This is because it provides a consistent pigment dispersion that provides an even shade across the face. It uses polycitronellol, which improves the sustainability of the product. Polycitronellol has a nice aroma, which makes it pleasant to use in daily life for the consumer and also has a relaxing effect. This product shows stability in its formulation as polycitronellol blends properly with the oil phase of the makeup products.
