Centella Asiatica Extract

Centella Asiatica extract is obtained from the leaves of the herbaceous plant of the same name, native to India and Madagascar which grows in damp and shady places, typically along watercourses. Traditionally used by Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for its healing properties, Centella Asiatica was already previously identified by injured animals as a natural remedy for injuries, so much so that it earned the popular nickname of "Tiger grass". The triterpene component of this plant, thanks to the presence of two molecules such as the glucosides of Asiatic acid and madecassic acid which stimulates collagen synthesis, has a venotonic and anti-inflammatory action, making it very useful for maintaining good health of the blood vessel wall and in any case this extract is perfect for skin care, for example in anti-aging treatments or to relieve pain from burns and scalds, speeding up healing. It also contributes to improving the functionality of the microcirculation and maintaining skin elasticity. Thanks to the asiaticoside, the extract is very stimulating at the circulatory level, therefore a powerful ally for the treatment of tired legs and varicose veins. It is also often used successfully in the treatment of cellulite, especially the inflammatory phases of this condition. Centella Asiatica improves circulation by reducing this inflammatory state.
