What is Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract?

Centella asiatica, commonly known as Gotu Kola or Tiger Grass, is a perennial herb native to Asia and widely used in Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine. The leaf extract is rich in triterpenoid compounds including asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid, and madecassic acid, which are responsible for its remarkable skin-healing, cognitive-supporting, and circulatory benefits.

Key Benefits

  • Anti-inflammatory Properties: Contains bioactive triterpenoids that may help reduce inflammation and support overall wellness.
