Legend has it that deep in the wilderness, wounded tigers used to roll in the lush foliage of Centella Asiatica to heal their injuries. Observing this natural phenomenon, local communities marveled at the affinity between the majestic beasts and this humble herb, christening it “Tiger Grass”.
While this narrative may seem infused with folklore, it underscores the enduring connection between traditional wisdom and scientific discovery. Centuries later, modern research has illuminated the multifaceted benefits of Centella Asiatica, from its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties to its ability to support skin regeneration.
At Greengredients, we pay tribute to this timeless tradition by integrating nature into our ingredients. Join us on our journey as we unveil the potentialities of “Tiger Grass” and continue our quest for sustainable beauty solutions inspired by the natural world.
We tested the ability of our Centella asiatica extract in stimulating collagen production and reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines, both involved in wound healing: collagen by attracting fibroblasts and encouraging new collagen production activating the clotting cascade, while inflammation has been shown to delay healing and increase scarring so it’s important the reduction.
We found that it’s not just a legend, nature is always right, in fact 1% Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract significantly increased collagen production by fibroblast and reduced IL-6 levels in keratinocytes thus positively impact on skin recovery.
