Cyclodextrin

Low risk

FunctionOdor Absorber

What it is — Cyclodextrin (INCI: Cyclodextrin) is a ring-shaped sugar molecule with a cavity that can trap small molecules such as odor compounds.

What it does — It is commonly used to capture and neutralize unwanted smells and to help stabilize or carry other ingredients, acting as an odor absorber and delivery aid.

Typical use — Found in deodorizing mists, scalp and body products, fragranced formulas and some actives-delivery systems.

Who it suits / good to know — Broadly suitable and well tolerated; it is functional rather than an "active" for skin. It works quietly in the background to improve scent and stability.

Safety — Graded low risk; cyclodextrins are inert, sugar-derived and generally non-irritating. This is general information, not medical advice.
