The details

Cyclodextrins are ring-shaped sugar molecules made from starch. It is used to stabilize, protect, and slowly release active ingredients. This ingredient can help prevent oxidation, reduce irritation from strong actives, and make certain ingredients absorb better once applied. Once applied to your skin, enzymes gradually break down the cyclodextrin "ring"; this releases the active ingredient in a controlled way.
