Pure Centella Asiatica Extract Powder
Pure Centella Asiatica Extract Powder, also known as Centella or Tiger Grass Extract, is a potent botanical ingredient derived from the aerial parts of Centella asiatica (L.) Urban. Its benefits stem from four key bioactive compounds: asiaticoside and madecassoside, as well as asiatic acid and madecassic acid. Asiatic acid is a potent anti-inflammatory agent that outperforms arbutin in inhibiting melanin production, achieving brightening effects at a concentration of just 0.2%. It is three times more effective than madecassic acid in neutralizing reactive oxygen species (ROS), effectively preventing premature aging caused by UV rays.
Global demand for high-potency asiatic acid extract is surging, with searches for "asiatic acid for acne scars" increasing by 320% (Google Trends, 2023-2024). Korean beauty brands are adding 5-10% asiatic acid to their post-surgery repair serums. Skincare brands use it as a gentle retinol alternative in anti-aging regimens.Different from Centella asiatica extract, which is often diluted with fillers, we specialize in highly purified Asianic acid concentrate powder, available in customizable specifications (10%-90% Asianic acid content as determined by HPLC). Compared to generic "whole-plant" extracts, it's more suitable for use in targeted repair serums. Combining supercritical CO2 and ethanol extraction ensures over 95% retention of bioactive ingredients. Integrating customer formulation expertise, we can accelerate product development by adding ceramides (for barrier repair) or bakuchiol (for anti-aging) for synergistic benefits.
