A ring-shaped sugar molecule that traps small ingredients to stabilize them or trap odors.
What it does
Cyclodextrins are ring-shaped sugar molecules with a hollow center. The cavity can trap a small guest molecule, which is used to stabilize fragile or volatile ingredients, control their release, or capture odor molecules. It is a delivery-and-stability ingredient rather than a skin active.
Also known as
