Cyclodextrin
Common Name(s): Bcd,cycloheptaamylose,betadex
CAS Number: 7585-39-9
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides molecular encapsulation for improved solubility, stability, and controlled release of challenging cosmetic actives.
Why It's Used: Molecular encapsulation technology โ beta-cyclodextrin's toroidal cavity provides a hydrophobic microenvironment for solubilising and stabilising oil-soluble actives in aqueous formulations.
How It Works: 7 glucose units in cyclic toroidal structure provide 6.0-6.5รฅ inner cavity. hydrophobic interior complexes lipophilic guest molecules. complexation improves water solubility (guest molecule becomes water-dispersible), stability (protection from oxidation and hydrolysis), and controlled release (guest releases gradually by diffusion). outer hydrophilic face provides water compatibility.
Typically Found In: Active delivery systems,fragrance encapsulation,stability-challenged actives
