A legend of healing
Some plants are not only natural beauties, but also true legends in traditional healing. Centella Asiatica, also known as tiger grass or gotu kola, is just such a treasure. Revered for centuries in Asian medicine for its wound-healing and soothing properties, it has now taken modern skincare by storm. At Flam Skin, we value Centella Asiatica as a gentle yet powerful ally that helps stressed skin regain its balance and strengthen its resilience.
What is behind the “tiger grass”?
The name "tiger grass" is no coincidence: Legend has it that tigers rolled in the leaves of this plant to heal their wounds. Centella asiatica is an herbaceous plant native to humid, swampy areas of Asia. It owes its superpowers to a rich composition of valuable bioactive compounds, particularly triterpenoids such as asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid, and madecassic acid. These phytochemicals are responsible for its impressive regenerating and anti-inflammatory properties. For Flam Skin products, we use high-quality extracts to harness the full spectrum of this plant's active ingredients for your skin.
The superpowers of Centella Asiatica for your skin
- Intense Soothing: Centella Asiatica is a champion at soothing irritated, reddened, and sensitive skin. It relieves tightness and itching and helps reduce inflammatory reactions in the skin.
- Promotes wound healing & regeneration: The saponins contained stimulate collagen production (especially type I collagen) and the formation of new skin cells. This accelerates the repair of minor skin damage, acne scars, or irritations.
- Strengthening the skin barrier: By stimulating collagen synthesis and other important skin components, Centella Asiatica helps strengthen the skin's natural protective barrier. A strong barrier protects against moisture loss and external stressors.
- Antioxidant effect: It helps protect the skin from harmful free radicals caused by UV radiation or environmental pollution, which can lead to premature skin aging.
- Moisturizing: Although its strength lies in soothing, Centella Asiatica also supports the skin's moisture balance.
