Cica, also known as Centella Asiatica, is a traditional medicinal plant that has been valued in Asian medicine for centuries for its regenerating and soothing properties. It contains bioactive compounds such as triterpenes, flavonoids, and amino acids that strengthen, protect, and support the skin’s natural regeneration.
