What it is
Centella Asiatica is a botanical extract used in K-beauty as a hero soothing and barrier-supporting ingredient. The plant is rich in triterpenoid compounds (asiaticoside, madecassic acid, madecassoside) that calm visible redness, reinforce a compromised barrier, and support post-procedure recovery. It is suitable for daily use across most skin types.
