What It Does
Centella Asiatica Extract is derived from the leaves and stems of Gotu Kola, a medicinal herb native to Asian wetlands that has been used in traditional medicine for centuries. This 10:1 concentrated extract is particularly valued for its triterpenoid compounds (asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid, and madecassic acid) which promote collagen synthesis, accelerate wound healing, and strengthen the skin barrier. Formulators choose this ingredient for its clinically-documented ability to calm inflammation, reduce redness, and support skin repair, making it especially popular in products targeting sensitive, damaged, or aging skin.
