INCICentella Asiatica Extract
Last reviewed by BIOSAR Scientific Team, PharmD, Cosmetic Chemistry, Pharmacy practice on .
Centella asiatica is a botanical extract used in skincare to support the barrier, calm reactive skin, and accelerate cosmetic post-procedure recovery. Its triterpenoid actives — asiaticoside, madecassoside, and asiatic acid — modulate fibroblast collagen synthesis and dampen inflammatory signalling. Effective at 0.1% to 5% extract in serums, creams, and post-treatment masks. Pairs broadly with most actives. No major conflicts.
Topical centella asiatica is considered acceptable during pregnancy and lactation per Mother to Baby. Oral centella extracts have less safety data and are typically avoided in pregnancy, but cosmetic surface use raises no documented concern.
Botanical compound widely known in pharmacy copy as Cica. Calms the look of sensitivity and supports barrier comfort.
