In the cosmetics industry that pursues ingredient safety, precise efficacy and sustainable development, cyclodextrin, with its unique cavity structure and excellent inclusion capacity, has brought breakthrough progress to product research and development.
1. Precision empowerment: “shield” and “releaser” of active ingredients
A. Stability upgrade: protect photosensitive ingredients (such as vitamin C and retinol) from oxidative degradation and extend product shelf life;
B. Solubility breakthrough: make insoluble ingredients (such as resveratrol and essential oils) evenly dispersed to improve bioavailability;
C. Controlled release technology: release active ingredients triggered by pH or temperature to reduce irritation risks.
2. The inclusion complex of cyclodextrin can reduce the dependence of the formula on traditional preservatives, while alleviating the irritation of acids (such as fruit acid and salicylic acid).
3. Sensory optimization: Invisibly improve user experience
A. Odor masking: Inclusion of bad smells of sulfides or plant extracts to create fragrance-free or lightly scented products;
B. Texture improvement: Reduce the stickiness of oils and give products such as lotions and sunscreens a refreshing feel to meet the needs of oily skin.
4. Cross-border application: The potential of cyclodextrin is not limited to basic skin care:
A. Slow-release fragrance: used in long-lasting perfume or shampoo to extend the fragrance retention time;
B. Targeted acne treatment: encapsulate antibacterial ingredients (such as tea tree oil), accurately act on hair follicles, and reduce skin barrier damage.
