Beauté by Roquette® CD 102 Cyclodextrin is a molecular encapsulating agent that can be used to help solubilize sensitive ingredients such as lipophilic actives, and enhance their efficacy in cosmetics and perfume applications.
Benefits
Controls the release of the encapsulated actives to help fragrances last longer
Reduces the volatility of the encapsulated molecules (long-lasting effect)
Increases water solubility and the bioavailability of actives (encapsulated molecules)
Protects from UV radiation (for suncare and fragrance applications)
Increases stability to heat, UV, chemicals or oxidants of oils, dyes, vitamins and perfumes
Excellent scrubbing agent, alternative to plastic microbeads
Features
Natural cyclic oligosaccharide from starch, obtained via an enzymatic conversion
Lipophilic central cavity and hydrophilic outer surface
Very low solubility in water (about 18 g/L)
Very resistant to acid, oxidative or enzymatic degradations
