How it works

Centella asiatica is a plant that has long been used in Asian regions, and in cosmetics it's included as a leaf/stem extract or in the form of its individual component ingredients. Asiaticoside, Madecassic Acid, and Asiatic Acid are these individual components.

When an individual ingredient name is listed on the full ingredient list rather than an extract, you can read which fraction was targeted in the formulation. However, since Centella-derived ingredients are not functional ingredients notified for specific efficacy in cosmetics, the scope of claims is limited to general descriptions from a soothing/conditioning perspective.
