Description
Centella Asiatica, fermented aqueous extract, brings to the water phase of the formulation the soothing and regenerating effect of Asian pennywort (gotu kola) leaves in a form that is added directly to serums, tonics or creams without further dissolving. The extract is produced by fermentation with Saccharomyces yeast, so in addition to the plant component it also contains yeast lysate filtrate. It is suitable for care of sensitive, dry, acne-prone and mature skin, in scalp preparations, in body cosmetics and also in children's products. What the extract brings to the skin Soothing – an ingredient for formulations for skin that reacts to external stimuli with redness and discomfort; typically serums, tonics and light creams for sensitive skin. Hydration and skin barrier restoration – the aqueous extract supports hydration and restoration of the skin's protective function. Elasticity and mature skin – in preparations for mature skin, it complements active ingredients targeting skin elasticity and regeneration. Skin microbiome – the fermented form is used in formulations intended to respect the natural balance on the skin surface. Antioxidant action – complements other antioxidants in daily care. The extent of the effect depends on the dosage, product type and the rest of the formulation. The fermented extract is one of the active ingredients and the result is formed together with the others. Use in formulation The extract is water-soluble and belongs to the water phase. It is added at a temperature below 40 °C — in emulsions therefore only into the cooling emulsion, in serum
