INCI Name: Centella Asiatica extract
Centella asiatica, also known as "gotu kola" or "tiger grass," is cherished in cosmetics for its remarkable skin-soothing, healing, and anti-aging properties. Rich in amino acids, beta-carotene, and antioxidants, it helps repair damaged skin, boost collagen production, and improve hydration. According to legend, tigers would roll in Centella asiatica to heal their wounds, which inspired its traditional use for skin healing.
This "miracle herb" is often included in products aimed at calming irritated or sensitive skin, reducing redness, and enhancing skin resilience. Its anti-inflammatory and rejuvenating qualities make it a favorite in modern skincare.
Anti-infective (fungal and bacterial), wound healing, astringent, and toning essential oil.
