P2 Science, a specialty chemical company focused on "green" alternatives, has raised $200,000 in early-stage funding from Connecticut Innovations. Headquartered in Newhaven, CN, P2 has developed a process that enables the creation of vegetable-derived chemicals for use in fragrances, flavors, cosmetics and polymers. A number of P2 chemicals have been designed as alternatives to petroleum-based ingredients. This is the second time Connecticut Innovations has backed P2, following a $150,000 round in November 2012.
