Often known as Cica, or its scientific name, Centella Asiatica, Gotu Kola is known the world over as a miracle ingredient that has been used for centuries for its healing and anti-inflammatory properties.

It is filled with benefits from amino acids, beta-carotene, fatty acids, phytochemicals and vitamins A, B1, C, and B2. Gotu Kola is traditionally used for healing wounds and reducing anxiety and has been found to stop bacterial growth and promote the production of new skin cells while enhancing skin resilience.

Mostly found in sun care and anti-aging products, Gotu kola promotes the production of collagen and reduces scars and stretches while increasing levels of antioxidants in newly formed tissues.

It can also help keep skin cells tight, preventing sagging skin that comes with aging.

The herb is also known to repair veins and discoloration on the skin because of its ability it has to penetrate into deep layers, breaking down cellulite by shrinking connective tissues that bind fat cells under the skin and increasing cell turnover to provide supple and more youthful-looking skin.

If your skin is feeling dull, tired, oily, or patchy, adding Gotu kola will absorb quickly into your skin offering the rejuvenating benefits your skin needs to bounce back to its youthful self again.
