Move over cold plunges and celery juice — there’s a new viral morning trend sweeping through TikTok and Instagram reels. Here I suggest a Cyclodextrin Morning Routine, a 4-step ritual where each step incorporates a product containing cyclodextrins redefining skincare, oral hygiene, and even your breakfast table.
Step 1: Washing Your Face with Cyclodextrin-Infused Liquid Soap
Start your morning fresh with a facial cleanser that does more than just clean. Cyclodextrins in liquid soap act as molecular hosts, trapping excess oils and pollutants while gently releasing active ingredients like botanical extracts or vitamins. Here is an example from Japan containing hydroxypropyl beta cyclodextrin:

Why it works: Cyclodextrins help stabilize sensitive skincare ingredients, making them more effective while minimizing irritation. Perfect for sensitive or acne-prone skin.
Step 2: Sipping Cyclodextrin Containing Hot Chocolate
Yes, you read that right—your hot chocolate can be part of the trend too. A new Spanish cocoa drink now use alfa-cyclodextrin to enhance the solubility and stability of flavor compounds.

Why it works: Cyclodextrins can reduce bitterness and stabilize flavor oils, resulting in smoother, richer hot chocolate with fewer additives.
Step 3: Enjoying a Waffle Boosted by Cyclodextrin-Formulated Ingredients
Even your breakfast waffle isn’t left out. Hershey Mandarin Waffles include beta-cyclodextrin (the product label only says E459, but the readers of this blog know what it stands for) that improves texture and extend shelf life.
Why it works: These waffles are just superior thanks to the stabilizing magic of cyclodextrins.
Step 4 Brushing Teeth with Cyclodextrin-Enhanced Toothpaste
Oral care goes high-tech with toothpastes that harness cyclodextrins to neutralize bad breath and protect against plaque. These smart molecules bind to volatile sulfur compounds and help carry essential oils. Here is a Japanese example containing beta-cyclodextrin:

Optionally, after brushing your teeth and use bathroom, a quick spritz of well-known Febreze Air Mist Air Freshener Spray for Home, Bathroom and Kitchen (containing hydroxypropyl beta cyclodextrin) can keep your bathroom fresh and inviting.
