  • In this report, we have investigated the functional properties change of phytochemicals by the encapsulation using water soluble host, ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin. The cream, shampoo, bodywash, and hair tonic containing phytochemical supramolecules were produced by mixing the surfactants, fragrances and the oriental herbal extracts encapsulated with ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin. Shampoo and bodywash including the encapsulated phytochemicals exhibited anti-growth activity against Gram (+) and Malassezia furfur which is known to cause dandruff. In cytotoxicity test against HDF (human dermal fibroblast), we could not detect any toxicity when the supramolecules content was less than 1 mg/mL. Our results suggest that the supramolecule of ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin with phytochemicals could be a safe anti-bacterial agent for cosmeceuticals.
