INTRODUCTION TO CENTELLA ASIATICA AND ITS COMPONENTS
In addition to being a common food source widely cultivated throughout Vietnam, centella asiatica is also utilized in medicine under other names such as pennywort or Indian pennywort as a special herbal remedy in treating dermatological conditions, minor wounds, scratches, scar treatment, etc. Analysis of centella asiatica composition reveals the presence of Triterpene Acid, Glycosides, Alkaloids, Flavonoids, essential oils, and other components such as Tannin, Carotenoid, Vitamin C, Alkaloid (Hydro Cotylin), Oligosaccharide (Centelose). Among these, the main components capable of skin restoration include Asiaticoside, Madecassoside, Asiatic acid, and Madecassic acid.
THE BENEFITS OF CENTELLA ASIATICA
Scar Healing
According to in vivo and in vitro studies, the mentioned Triterpene compounds lead to a significant increase in the amount of Type 1 Collagen and Fibronectin in the epidermal cells to fill scars while reducing inflammation to prevent hypertrophic scarring (raised scars). This has made centella asiatica a sought-after ingredient widely used in natural skincare products, especially for acne-prone skin and scar treatment.
Wound Healing Support
Research reports indicate that Madecassoside in centella asiatica extract contributes to wound healing and scar prevention by increasing antioxidant activity, promoting fibroblast proliferation in the skin, enhancing Hydroxyproline levels (a marker of collagen synthesis in burned skin), thus reinforcing tissue and boosting collagen synthesis in the wound healing process. Additionally, centella asiatica extract contains Asiaticoside, which stimulates angiogenesis, contributing to vascular tension and elasticity in the wound area.
Restoring Damaged Skin, Preventing Aging
Clinical trial results in women using topical cream containing 0.1% Madecassoside and 5% vitamin C showed that Madecassoside acts as a collagen-stimulating agent by activating the SMAD pathway, combined with vitamin C, significantly improved skin elasticity, firmness, and moisture based on biological measurements.
Reducing Excess Fat
Studies on Cellulite patients (a condition of fat accumulation due to disrupted fat metabolism leading to excessive fat cell proliferation in the body) using centella asiatica extract have shown significant reduction in the diameter of fat cells, particularly in the buttock area, and reduced fibrosis between cells. The reason lies in the stabilization of fat metabolism by centella asiatica extract, thereby significantly reducing fat cell proliferation.
