P2 Ingredients & SafetyUpdated 22 days ago

What's In P2 Products

Here's something we're proud of: every ingredient in every P2 product is clearly listed on the label. No hidden chemicals. No mystery compounds. Complete transparency — because you deserve to know exactly what you're putting on your body, in your home, and around your children and pets.

All P2 products are EPA Safer Choice, food-grade, pH neutral, all-natural, and organic.

Core Ingredients:

Soil-Based Probiotics: FDA GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) certified probiotics in ALL products. Most strains are in the Bacillus family (subtilis, licheniformis, megaterium, pumilus). Every single strain we use is on the FDA GRAS list. These are hearty warriors — not the fragile cultures you find in yogurt.

Organic Coconut Surfactant: In Surface Cleaner, Washer Additive, Fruit & Veggie Cleaner, Body Wash, and Pet Shampoo. Natural, gentle cleaning power without harsh chemicals.

Organic Spearmint and Organic Vanilla: Light, natural scent in various products.

Organic Glycerin: In Wound Care products (Pro-Heal and Pet-Heal Cleaner and Treatment), Mouthwash, Pet Water Additive, Clean Air and Home Spray, Allergy Spray, Skin Spray, and Pet Odor and Itch Spray for enhanced conditioning and moisture.

Biosurfactants: Here's something important — these are naturally occurring compounds created by the probiotics themselves. They reduce surface tension, enhancing cleaning and penetration into biofilm. The probiotics make their own cleaning agents.

Enzymes: Also created by the probiotics. These biological catalysts break down organic molecules, enhancing effectiveness. Again — the probiotics do the work.

What's NOT In P2 Products

We deliberately exclude the junk that's in conventional products — ingredients that have no business being near your family:

Absolutely NO:

Triclosan — The FDA demanded removal from cleaning products due to safety concerns. If the FDA says it's dangerous, why would you want it?
Sodium Laurel Sulfate — A deterrent for anyone seeking truly natural products
Alcohol — Not ideal for children, pets, or those with alcohol concerns
Phthalates
Parabens
Synthetic chemicals, preservatives, or ingredients not derived from nature
Harsh detergents
Disodium laureth sulfosuccinate

Allergen-Free:

Non-comedogenic
No wheat, barley, rye, egg, tree nuts, mustard, garlic, spinach, peanuts
No sugar or sugar substitutes
Gluten-free
Nut-free

We hide nothing. What you see on the label is exactly what's in the bottle.

Safety Certifications & Standards

EPA Safer Choice: Our products meet the EPA's rigorous Safer Choice standards for human and environmental safety.

FDA GRAS Certified: All probiotic strains are Generally Recognized as Safe by the FDA.

Food Grade: This is huge. All products are food-grade safe, meaning:

Safe for contact with food preparation surfaces
Safe if ingested
Safe for use around children and pets

pH Neutral: Won't harm skin, surfaces, or septic systems.

Eco-Friendly: Safe for the environment and septic systems.

Child Safe: Completely safe for children of all ages. We guarantee it.

Safety for Eyes, Skin & Inhalation

All P2 products are food-grade and completely safe for:

Skin contact (including sensitive skin)
Inhalation (breathing in spray mist)
Eyes (if product gets in eyes)
Ears (direct application)
Mouth (oral care products designed for this; other products safe if accidentally ingested)

Think about what this means: You can spray the air your baby breathes. You can clean surfaces your pets lick. You can wash fruits and vegetables your family eats. All completely safe.

Try saying that about bleach or any conventional cleaner.

Probiotic Strains in P2 Products

Most of our strains are in the Bacillus family. Every strain we use is on the FDA GRAS list.

The specific combination of strains in each product is a proprietary blend protected under US Trade Secrets — but all are naturally-occurring, soil-based spore-forming probiotics.

Our proprietary formulations have been specifically combined to target biofilm elimination and prevention. This unique combination is what makes P2 products superior to other probiotic applications. Sixteen years of research went into getting this right.

Products Safe for Septic Systems

All P2 products are eco-friendly and completely safe for septic systems.

Here's a bonus: our probiotics can actually help maintain healthy bacterial balance in your septic system, potentially improving its function over time. You're not just avoiding harm — you're adding benefit.

Sourcing & Manufacturing

Our products are sourced and manufactured in the USA. We have always been a true American company from top to bottom, committed to supporting American manufacturing and quality standards.

Note: Some packaging components are now imported, but all product formulations and manufacturing remain US-based.

What Products Should You Avoid Using With P2 Probiotics?

Some products neutralize the effectiveness of our soil-based probiotics. We recommend avoiding:

Essential oils (including tea tree oil and eucalyptus)
Castor oil
Silver
Chemical ingredients in conventional toothpaste
Chemical cleaners and disinfectants

Water Type Matters: Use spring water or filtered water to mix with our concentrates. Never use distilled water — the minerals in spring water activate the probiotics, while distilled water lacks these essential minerals.

If you need to use other products, allow time between application of P2 probiotics and the potentially neutralizing product.

Hospital & Commercial Use

Yes, we have products suitable for hospitals and commercial settings.

We conducted a 4-year hospital study demonstrating that our probiotics were 90% more effective at eliminating pathogens than high-level disinfectants. Better than bleach — and bleach has been the pinnacle forever.
