What is Centella Asiatica?

Centella Asiatica, commonly known as Cica, is a powerful botanical extract traditionally used for its skin-healing and soothing properties. Sourced from a medicinal herb, it is rich in active compounds like madecassoside and asiaticoside that support skin repair.

Its lightweight, fast-absorbing nature makes it ideal for calming stressed, sensitive, and acne-prone skin without clogging pores.

At From Negative, Centella Asiatica is used as a barrier-repair essential — helping skin recover from damage, irritation, and environmental stress.

How Centella Asiatica works

Centella Asiatica works by stimulating collagen production and enhancing the skin's natural healing process. It reduces inflammation signals while repairing the protective barrier layer of the skin. This helps prevent moisture loss and shields the skin from external stressors like pollution and harsh weather. Over time, it makes the skin stronger, calmer, and more resilient.
