About Centella Asiatica Extract
Centella Asiatica extract, specifically madecassoside, is a natural compound derived from the Centella Asiatica plant. It is widely recognized for its wound-healing, anti-inflammatory, and skin-rejuvenating properties. Madecassoside promotes collagen synthesis, enhances skin hydration, and reduces inflammation, making it a valuable ingredient in cosmetic and dermatological formulations. While generally safe, some individuals may experience mild skin irritation or allergic reactions. The typical dosage range is 30-90mg daily of a standardized extract containing 40% madecassoside.
