- Product Background
- Traditionally found in the marshy areas of Southeast Asia and Australia, and known in traditional Indian medicine as "Tiger's Grass," this herb has been utilized as a topical and internal wound healer for centuries. Containing a mixture of terpenoid glycosides, Centella Asiatica has been known to heal unsightly skin lesions by promoting a rapid thickening of the skin and increasing blood supply to the connective tissue. Centella Asiatica BT works as an anti-aging treatment by stimulating Collagen I and Ill biosynthesis and Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) synthesis, resulting in improved skin firmness, elasticity, and wrinkle reduction.
