Centella Asiatica

What is Centella Asiatica?

Centella Asiatica, often affectionately called "Cica" or "Tiger Grass," is a leafy green herb native to Asian wetlands. Legend has it that injured tigers would roll in these plants to heal their wounds, hence the nickname.

In K-Beauty, it's the undisputed champion of soothing ingredients. It contains potent active compounds known as "centellosides" (madecassoside, asiaticoside, madecassic acid, and asiatic acid), which are responsible for its incredible healing properties.

What does it do?

If your skin is angry, Centella is the peacemaker.

It possesses strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. When applied topically, it rapidly decreases redness, calms irritation, and reduces swelling associated with active acne breakouts or allergic reactions. Furthermore, it actively promotes collagen synthesis, helping to repair a damaged skin barrier and accelerate wound healing.

Who is it for?

Centella is a lifesaver for anyone dealing with sensitive, reactive, or inflamed skin.

• Rosacea and Eczema: It provides immediate relief from flushing and itching.
• Acne-Prone Skin: It reduces the redness and inflammation of active pimples without clogging pores.
• Over-exfoliated Skin: If you've gone too hard with acids or retinol, Cica is what you need to nurse your barrier back to health.
