Description
β-Cyclodextrin is a cyclic oligosaccharide composed of seven α-1,4-linked D-glucopyranose units forming a toroidal (truncated cone) structure. It has a hydrophilic outer surface and a hydrophobic inner cavity, enabling it to form stable inclusion complexes with a wide range of poorly water-soluble molecules, effectively improving their solubility, stability, and bioavailability. In cosmetics, it serves as a complexing agent for fragrances and active ingredients, ensuring controlled release and improved stability.
