Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
Extract produced from cultured meristematic cells of Centella asiatica, combining modern biotechnology with traditional plant wisdom. Maintains the wound-healing and skin-regenerating properties known in Ayurvedic medicine for millennia.
