Highly Stable and Fine-Textured Hybrid Microspheres for Entrapment of Cosmetic Active Ingredients.

ABSTRACT: This study details the preparation and application of supramolecular host-guest inclusion complexes entrapping biomineralized microspheres for long-term storage and their pH-responsive behavior. The microspheres were assembled using a CaCO₃ synthesis process coupled with cyclodextrin-tetrahydrocurcumin (CD-THC) inclusion complexes, forming fine-textured and mechanically stable hybrid materials. The products were successfully characterized using field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and particle size analysis (PSA). Various parameters such as the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area, single point total pore volume, and pore size via adsorption
