Cyclodextrins (α, β, γ) and their hydroxypropyl derivatives (HP-α/β/γ-CD) are innovative cosmetic ingredients. Their hollow structures encapsulate actives (e.g., fragrances, vitamins), enhancing stability, solubility, and slow-release effects. α-CD targets small molecules; β-CD balances cost/performance; γ-CD offers superior capacity. HP-modified versions improve skin compatibility. Ideal for masks, serums, and sunscreens, they deliver efficacy with reduced irritation.
- Enhance the solubility of active ingredients.
- Prolong the controlled release of functional compounds.
- Reduce irritation for gentler skincare.
- Stabilize easily degradable ingredients (e.g., Vitamin C).
