Centella asiatica (L.) Urb. also known as Gotu kola, belongs to the Apiaceae family. This plant grows in temperate and tropical swampy areas in many world regions. This is an important medicinal herb used both in traditional pharmacopeia and in modern medicine.
Many scientific studies demonstrated that the biological activities attributed to Centella are due to the presence of a variety of pentacyclic triterpenoids also called centellosides, represented by four major compounds: asiaticoside, madecassoside and their genins. Scientific studies also demonstrated a significant variation in content of centellosides. These variations are governed by a combination of parameters such as the climate, the seasons of harvest and the genotype.
Identifying a good sourcing in terms of quality, traceability, reproducibility, sustainability and high level in bioactives is a key element to develop a product with a strong biological activity.
In order to comply with all these criteria, the aerial part of organic Centella asiatica harvested in Madagascar was used to produce our organic Centella asiatica extract.
The final extract is obtained after alcoholic maceration, filtration and drying of the crushed leaves. Organic alcohol was used to have a 100 % organic product.
CENTELLANE® results from solubilization of this 100% organic product in propanediol, which is the only solvent able to garantee the stability of triperpenes.
Thanks to its solubility in water at the recommended use level, CENTELLANE® has the great advantage to being easy to formulate in any kind of formulations containing water.
