Centella Asiatica
A powerful and healing plant extract.
Centella asiatica is a perennial herb that grows
primarily in Asia. For years, it’s had both culinary and medicinal uses,
but like many traditional plant extracts, it’s gaining popularity as a
skin care ingredient. Quite a few studies show that Centella asiatica
really does have benefits for skin, thanks to its active compounds,
including madecassoside, which serves as an antioxidant.
Centella asiatica as a whole offers potent antioxidant properties, and
there’s additional research showing it to be a rich source of amino
acids to soothe upset or compromised skin, while also improving
hydration. There's also evidence that Centella asiatica products can
help revitalize skin's protective barrier, plus it may mitigate some of
the visible effects of sun damage.
The bottom line: While
many natural ingredients are big on talk, but small on results, Centella
asiatica really does have a lot to offer skin. It can be used by
all ages, skin types, and ethnicities and is even suitable for
skin prone to rosacea.
