What are cyclodextrins?
Cyclodextrins are ring-shaped oligosaccharides derived from plant starch. They are hydrophilic with a hydrophobic cavity at its center, allowing for the encapsulation of other materials.
WACKER’s CAVAMAX® product line is now available for use in personal care applications. Cyclodextrins bring a fantastic ease to formulation and an enhanced delivery experience. With their unique hollow 3-dimensional shape and ability to hold hydrophobic materials, they make excellent delivery systems for actives and fragrances.
