Functions
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Soothing
Calms redness, irritation, and inflammation. Your skin's chill pill — great for sensitive, reactive, or post-procedure skin.
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Humectant
A moisture magnet. Pulls water from the air and deeper skin layers up to the surface to keep skin plump and hydrated.
Quells irritation
Accelerates skin healing
Boosts collagen production
Reduces redness
Traditional Use
An aqueous extract of Centella asiatica leaves, derived from the traditional herb historically steeped or decocted in water for medicinal use. Used in Asian folk medicine and modern skincare for soothing and healing properties.
