Centella Asiatica Oil Extract 10 g

What makes centella asiatica oil extract a staple in restorative skincare formulas

Centella asiatica, also known as gotu kola or tiger grass, has been used for centuries across Southeast Asian traditions to support skin recovery after damage. Today its oil-based form is one of the most sought-after ingredients across the global skincare and dermatological product industry, valued for supporting the skin barrier and promoting collagen synthesis. This concentrate belongs to the category of Oil Extracts, a range of products obtained through oil maceration of plant material, which allows extraction of lipophilic active compounds such as triterpene saponins, flavonoids and essential compounds that remain stable within oil-based formulations.

The main application areas include anti-aging serums and creams, products for post-acne and scarred skin, body care formulas for stretch mark correction after pregnancy, and after-sun balms meant to support skin recovery following prolonged sun exposure. A separate direction is scalp care, where centella supports microcirculation and is commonly added to shampoos and scalp tonics targeting hair thinning. This kind of ingredient works equally well for small labs testing new formulas and for larger manufacturing lines producing batches at scale, including makers of soap and other skin-contact products where a light regenerating touch is welcome.

Centella asiatica pairs particularly well with other botanical concentrates. In formulas for mature skin or scalp care, it is often combined with Ginkgo Biloba extract, which contributes antioxidant and circulation-supporting properties. In anti-hair-loss formulas or products addressing hormone-related skin changes, it works well alongside Saw Palmetto and African Plum extract. For calming and restorative blends aimed at reactive, irritated skin, formulators often add Boswellia Oil Extract.

A typical usage rate ranges from 1 to 5 percent of the finished product's weight. It is best introduced during the cooling stage of an emulsion, once the temperature drops below 40 degrees Celsius, to avoid breaking down heat-sensitive active compounds. Store the extract in a tightly sealed container, in a cool, dark place, away from direct light and temperature fluctuations to preserve its activity over time.

The 10 g pack size is well suited for home-based cosmetic making and for testing new formulas before scaling up to a larger batch — enough volume to prepare several trial samples of cream, serum or balm and evaluate how the ingredient performs in a specific recipe.

Soothing facial serum with centella

Squalane oil 20 g

Centella asiatica oil extract 2 g

Boswellia oil extract 1 g

Vitamin E 1 g

Jojoba oil 16 g

Combine the squalane and jojoba oils in a clean glass bottle, then add the centella asiatica oil extract, boswellia oil extract and vitamin E. Shake gently until fully blended, avoiding heating this mixture since all ingredients are already liquid at room temperature. Let the serum rest for a few hours before first use and apply a small amount to cleansed skin morning or evening.
