WHAT IS CICA/CENTELLA ASIATICA?

Cica, also known as Centella Asiatica, is a traditional medicinal plant that has been valued for centuries in Asian medicine for its skin-soothing and regenerating properties. Originally native to tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, Africa, and Australia, Cica is now widely used in skincare products worldwide.

The plant is rich in triterpenes, antioxidants, and amino acids, which actively support skin healing, hydration, and collagen production. Its key bioactive components include Madecassoside, Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid, and Madecassic Acid, known for their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and wound-healing effects. Thanks to these unique properties, Cica has become an essential ingredient in modern skincare.
