Centella Asiatica Root Extract is a botanical extract rich in triterpenoids (asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic and madecassic acids) used for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and wound-healing properties. It is commonly included to calm irritation, support skin barrier repair, and stimulate collagen synthesis.
