Hydroxypropyl Cyclodextrin

Hydroxypropyl cyclodextrin is a modified sugar molecule derived from starch. It acts as a solubilizer and stabilizer, helping to dissolve poorly soluble ingredients and protect sensitive compounds from degradation. This can enhance the efficacy and shelf-life of cosmetic products.
