Slows Down Ageing :
Centella Asiatica has a lot of antioxidants that work to combat free radicals brought on by pollution and UV radiation from the sun.
These free radicals harm the skin's protective barrier, causing uneven skin tone and other issues related to skin ageing. As skin ages, the lack of elasticity causes the skin to droop and take on a crepe-like appearance. Because cica increases blood flow and collagen formation, the face appears more firm and young with less lines and wrinkles.

Soothing Properties :
Soothing and healing, Centella Asiatica is an ancient herb that has been used for centuries in India, Japan, Korea and China to treat skin irritation and inflammation. This remarkable plant is rich in vitamins A, C, E and Pro-Vitamin B5 which are known to be beneficial for dry skin conditions.

Moisturising :
In addition to being rich in antioxidants, cica is also abundant with amino acids, fatty acids, and beta carotene, all of which offer the skin a wealth of nutrients, keeping it hydrated and replenishing the levels of water and oil in the skin's barrier.

Centella helps to support the skin’s natural barrier function while protecting against environmental damage.
