Gotu Kola Glycolic Extract: A Botanical Powerhouse for Skin Health

Gotu Kola (Centella asiatica), also known as Cica or Tiger Grass, has been used for centuries in traditional medicine. Gotu Kola Glycolic Extract is a liquid extract derived from the leaves of this plant using glycol as a solvent. This extraction method helps to preserve the plant's valuable bioactive compounds, making it a potent ingredient for cosmetic formulations. This extract is especially prized for its skin-soothing, wound-healing, and anti-aging properties.

Why Choose Gotu Kola Glycolic Extract for Cosmetics?

• Stimulates Collagen Production: Gotu Kola is known to stimulate the synthesis of collagen, a crucial protein that provides skin with structure and elasticity. This can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improve overall skin firmness.
• Promotes Wound Healing and Skin Regeneration: The extract contains triterpenoids, such as asiaticosides and madecassosides, which promote wound healing, reduce scarring, and accelerate skin regeneration.
• Anti-inflammatory and Soothing Properties: It has potent anti-inflammatory effects, making it beneficial for calming irritated skin, reducing redness, and soothing conditions like eczema and psoriasis.
• Antioxidant Protection: Gotu Kola is rich in antioxidants that help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals, which contribute to premature aging.
