It may not be the cosmetic ingredient we are most used to hearing about, but this ingredient, extracted from the tropical plant Gotu kola, is an important antioxidant and regenerator with many more properties than you can imagine.
The main benefits we can reap for our skin by including centella asiatica in our facial routine are those derived from this plant extract’s ability to stimulate the synthesis of collagen and hyaluronic acid, structural components of our skin. As it has a renewing, repairing and moisturising action, its use in cosmetics is especially recommended for skin with superficial damage such as irritations, residual acne marks, sunburn or different types of lesions resulting from subjecting the skin to physical or chemical processes such as depilation, shaving, lasers or peelings.
It is also notable for its soothing and healing properties, which make it equally useful in the above-mentioned situations and which are enhanced by the fact that it is an extract with a high level of tolerance, making it suitable for the care of even the most sensitive skins.
On the other hand, since ancient times this plant has been known as the herb of longevity as it was seen that due to its high antioxidant power and anti-ageing properties, it was capable of combating damage caused by environmental factors and restoring the skin’s structure, shine and elasticity, all thanks to its richness in flavonoids, triterpenes, amino acids and fatty acids.
And as if all this were not enough to fall for the benefits of this extract, this plant has also been recognised since ancient times as having beneficial antibacterial properties that make it of great value when it comes to caring for skin disorders such as dermatitis or acne.
