Performance & Formulation Insights for AccessMOIST Centella Asiatica Ext.

How Centella Asiatica Works

AccessMOIST Centella Asiatica Ext. derives its efficacy from a potent blend of pentacyclic triterpenoid saponins, primarily asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid, and madecassic acid. These bioactive compounds work synergistically to provide comprehensive skin benefits. The primary mechanism of action involves stimulating fibroblast proliferation and increasing the synthesis of collagen Type I, which is crucial for maintaining skin structure and accelerating wound healing. Furthermore, these actives exhibit powerful anti-inflammatory properties by down-regulating pro-inflammatory mediators, resulting in a rapid calming effect on irritated or sensitized skin. Its antioxidant components also help neutralize free radical damage, protecting the skin from premature aging.

Formulation Guidelines

This extract is a water-soluble liquid that is easy to incorporate into a wide range of cosmetic systems. For optimal stability of its active compounds, it should be added to the water phase of a formulation or during the cool-down phase, at temperatures below 40°C (104°F). AccessMOIST Centella Asiatica Ext. is stable within a typical cosmetic pH range of 4.0 to 7.0. It is highly compatible with other common cosmetic actives, including hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, ceramides, and antioxidants, making it an excellent addition to multi-functional product lines targeting sensitivity, aging, and hydration.
