Asiaticoside 98% is a highly purified active compound derived from Centella asiatica (Gotu Kola). It is primarily used in cosmetic formulations for soothing, skin-conditioning, barrier-support, and anti-aging applications.
Key Cosmetic Uses
Skin Repair & Conditioning: Helps support the skin's natural renewal process and improves the appearance of stressed or damaged-looking skin.
Soothing Products: Suitable for formulations intended to calm the appearance of redness, irritation, and sensitive skin.
Anti-Aging: Helps improve the appearance of fine lines, firmness, elasticity, and overall skin texture.
Skin Barrier Support: Useful in barrier-support creams and serums for dry, compromised, or dehydrated skin.
Moisturizing Formulations: Helps promote smoother, softer and healthier-looking skin when incorporated into a complete moisturizing system.
Acne-Prone Skin Care: Can be incorporated into soothing formulations for oily or blemish-prone skin, particularly where visible redness is a concern.
After-Sun Products: Suitable for calming and conditioning products designed for skin exposed to environmental stress.
Scar-Appearance Care: Often used in cosmetic formulations intended to improve the appearance, texture, and suppleness of skin with visible marks. Avoid making medical claims that it “treats” or “heals” scars.
Eye & Facial Serums: Suitable for concentrated anti-aging and soothing facial formulations.
Body Care: Can be incorporated into lotions, creams, gels, and targeted skin-conditioning products.
Common Applications: Facial serums, anti-aging creams, eye creams, barrier creams, moisturizers, soothing gels, masks, after-sun products, body lotions, and targeted skin-repair cosmetics.
Formulation note: Asiaticoside 98% is not oil-soluble. It has limited water solubility, so a suitable solvent/solubilization system is usually required. For a 98% active powder, the supplier's recommended use level and processing instructions should be followed rather than assuming the same usage rate as a standard brown centella asiatica extract.
