Madecassoside 90% is a highly concentrated triterpenoid active derived from Centella asiatica, a botanical widely used in skin-care formulations. It is valued for its soothing, antioxidant, skin-conditioning, and barrier-supporting properties. Madecassoside is particularly suitable for formulations targeting sensitive, dry, stressed, mature, and blemish-prone skin. It can help improve the appearance of redness and discomfort while supporting a smoother, healthier-looking complexion. Its combination of soothing and antioxidant properties also makes it an excellent active for anti-aging, barrier-repair, after-sun, and intensive facial-care formulations.
