Concentrated Cica for Barrier-Loving Formulas
Centella asiatica, known as cica or gotu kola, is the hero of barrier-repair and calming skin care. This 10:1 powder gives you a concentrated, dry form for masks, serums and powder-to-mix products.
The Botanical Behind Centella
Centella asiatica creeps along damp ground across tropical Asia and has round, fan-shaped leaves. Its triterpenes, including asiaticoside and madecassoside, are the backbone of the “cica” category. A 10:1 extract concentrates the leaf so a powder mask or serum can carry a meaningful centella load.
Why Formulators Choose Centella Asiatica Extract Powder 10:1
At 10:1, ten parts of leaf go into one part of extract, and our powders are made to a higher concentration than many comparable market grades. That means a strong cica story at modest use levels, without adding glycerin or water to your formula.

FAQ
What does 10:1 mean?
Ten kilograms of dried leaf are used to make one kilogram of extract powder.
Is it the same as madecassoside?
No. It is a whole-leaf extract, not an isolated compound.
Is it water-soluble?
A reference supplier lists it as water-soluble.
Liquid or powder centella?
The glycerin extract is the easy everyday option; the powder is the concentrated choice for masks and water-free formats.
How is Centella Asiatica Extract Powder 10:1 packed?
It ships in a jar or resealable pouch with the BeautyLabPro label, in 1 oz, 4 oz and 16 oz sizes. Keep it tightly closed in a cool, dry place to prevent caking.
