Centella asiatica (CICA), also known as "Tiger Grass" or "Gotu Kola," has evolved from traditional Ayurvedic medicine to a globally revered skincare ingredient. At WellGreen, we leverage ISO-certified supercritical CO₂ extraction to deliver bioactive-rich CICA extracts (≥40% triterpenes) for cutting-edge formulations.
Core Applications: Where Science Meets Efficacy
a) Wound Healing & Barrier Repair
Mechanism: Asiaticoside stimulates collagen I/III synthesis via TGF-β/Smad3 pathways (Int. Wound J. 2023).
Clinical Proof: 72% faster epidermal regeneration in laser-treated skin vs. controls (0.5% CICA serum, J. Cosmet Dermatol. 2024).
b) Anti-Inflammatory Solutions
Target: Madecassoside inhibits NF-κB and COX-2 enzymes, reducing IL-6 by 89% (Biomed Res. Int. 2023).
Use Cases: Calms rosacea, acne, and eczema (patented 2% CICA + SymSitive® tech).
c) Antioxidant Defense
Power: 5x higher ORAC value than vitamin C (Food Chem. 2022).
Synergy: Boosts UV protection when combined with zinc oxide.
