Plant Extracts
One of four principal bioactive compounds in the plant extract Centella asiatica. One double-blind study has shown even small amounts of this compound (0.1% in one case) combined with vitamin C have benefit when applied to sun-damaged skin. It also plays a role in wound-healing, collagen synthesis, and functions as an antioxidant (Sources: Biotechnology Letters, June 2008, ePublication; Planta Medica, June 2008, pages 809-815; and Experimental Dermatology, May 2008, ePublication).
