Native to Asia’s wetlands, and used in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years, Centella asiatica is a powerful plant that’s known for its soothing, healing, and skin-transforming benefits. Often referred to as cica or tiger grass (legend has it that tigers used to roll around in this nutrient-rich herb to heal their wounds), it is highly valued in Korean skincare routines, and one of the key active ingredients in two of our favourite best-sellers. You will find Centella asiatica in our triple-effect Eye Contour Serum, which combines this skin-repairing wonder with caffeine, licorice, and vegan hyaluronic acid; and in the Centella Asiatica & Bergamot Face Cleanser –both products formulated with delicate and sensitive skin in mind. As a natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory phyto-agent rich in amino acids and other bioactive nutrients such polyphenols, and flavonoids, Centella asiatica has proven to be one of the most effective active ingredients in soothing, repairing and healing the skin. It will transform your skin’s overall health and appearance for a visibly softer, healthier-looking complexion.

We choose to include Centella asiatica in our Eye Contour Serum because it’s a highly active ingredient proven to promote a fresher and younger-looking appearance. The skin around the eyes is thinner and more delicate than the rest of the face. There are practically no oil glands in the area, making it prone to dryness and fine lines. In fact, it’s often the first area to show signs of ageing. Combined with moisture-enhancing vegan hyaluronic acid, caffeine, which is known to depuff and relieve under eyes, and licorice to brighten dark circles, Centella asiatica will help firm and tighten the delicate eye area, progressively reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
