Cyclodextrin is a cyclic oligosaccharide, a type of sugar molecule, typically derived from starch. It has a unique donut-like structure that allows it to encapsulate other molecules. In cosmetics, it's often used to stabilize sensitive ingredients, control their release, or reduce their potential for irritation.
