Description
Cyclodextrins (CDs) are cyclic oligosaccharides formed by α-1,4 glycosidic bonds, typically consisting of 6, 7, or 8 D-glucopyranose units, known as α-, β-, and γ-cyclodextrins, respectively. CDs feature a truncated cone-shaped cylindrical structure with a hydrophobic inner cavity, a hydrophilic outer surface, and localized chiral environments. Their cavities can encapsulate various organic and inorganic small molecules to form inclusion complexes, enhancing the stability and solubility of active ingredients.
Resveratrol is a naturally occurring non-flavonoid polyphenol compound found in botanical sources such as grapes, peanuts, blueberries, and cocoa. With powerful antioxidant properties and extensive scientific research supporting its biological activities, resveratrol has become a highly valued active ingredient in advanced skincare formulations. Through cyclodextrin encapsulation technology, resveratrol stability and dispersion are enhanced, enabling more effective incorporation into cosmetic formulations.
