Product Introduction
What is Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract?
Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract contains a variety of α-amyrin type triterpenoid components, among which the main effective cosmetic ingredients are Asiatic Acid, Madecassic Acid, Asiaticoside and Madecassososide, which belong to the triterpenoid saponin compounds and are all derived from the dried whole herb of Centella asiatica of the Umbelliferae family.
Scientific research has shown that the active ingredients of Centella asiatica can stimulate the production of type I and type III collagen, reduce skin hardness, improve skin nutrition, and promote skin metabolism. Asiatic acid and madecassic acid have powerful effects of inhibiting tyrosinase, reducing melanin deposition, anti-oxidation, and anti-inflammatory, and can effectively stimulate the synthesis and extension of skin collagen. Centella asiatica glycoside and madecassinoside are natural plant active ingredients with anti-inflammatory characteristics. As an "all-round player", Centella asiatica extract can be used in scar repair, acne anti-allergy, whitening and antioxidant cosmetics and hair growth shampoo.

Main Effects of Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract
1. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory
Centella asiatica extract has a certain inhibitory effect on Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Propionibacterium acnes, etc. Centella asiatica acid can dissolve the outer wax film of bacteria so that they can be killed by other drugs or the body's defense tissue. Centella asiatica acid and glycosides can be used externally to promote wound healing, stimulate granulation, promote epidermal keratinization or epidermal regeneration, and help generate connective tissue. It is more effective when used in combination with phospholipids, and has a significant effect on eliminating facial acne and blackheads.
Centella asiatica leaf extract can reduce the production of pro-inflammatory mediators (IL-1, MMP-1), improve and repair the skin's own barrier function, thereby preventing and correcting skin immune dysfunction. Therefore, the anti-inflammatory activity of Centella asiatica extract can also be used in after-sun repair, anti-allergic and soothing cosmetics.
2. Repair scars
After more than 20 years of scientific research, it has been found that Centella asiatica leaf extract can promote the synthesis of collagen I and III, as well as the secretion of mucopolysaccharides (such as the synthesis of hyaluronic acid), increase the water retention of the skin, activate and renew skin cells, soothe, lift and make the skin shiny; other studies have found that Centella asiatica extract also has the effect of activating fibroblast genes, which can enhance the vitality of the basal layer cells of the skin, maintain the elasticity and firmness of the skin, and smooth the fine wrinkles on the face.
Since Centella asiatica glycoside has important functions such as promoting collagen synthesis and new blood vessel formation in the body and stimulating granulation growth, it is beneficial to wound healing and scar repair, and can also prevent stretch marks produced during pregnancy.
