Centella Asiatica, also known as Cica, is a medicinal plant widely used in skincare for its remarkable ability to soothe, repair, and protect the skin. Traditionally used in Asian medicine, Centella Asiatica is now a key ingredient in modern formulations aimed at strengthening the skin barrier and reducing sensitivity.
