2-Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin Cas 128446-35-5

Pharmaceutical-grade hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) can be used as a carrier for oral medications, injectable formulations, mucosal delivery systems (including nasal, rectal, and corneal routes), transdermal delivery systems, and lipophilic targeted drugs. It also serves as a protective agent and stabilizer for proteins.

In the cosmetics industry, hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin is primarily used as a stabilizer, emulsifier, and deodorizing agent. It helps reduce irritation to the skin and mucous membranes caused by organic molecules in cosmetic formulations, enhances the stability of active ingredients, and prevents the volatilization or oxidation of nutrients. Furthermore, it can be used to adjust the texture and appearance of cosmetic products, thereby improving the user experience and overall product quality.

In the household and personal care industry, hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin functions mainly as a stabilizer and a controlled/sustained-release agent. When incorporated into products such as laundry detergents or concentrated detergent pods, it effectively enhances the stability of active ingredients and encapsulates fragrances, allowing for their gradual release and ensuring a long-lasting scent.
