Plant's Power: Centella Asiatica
Nature's way to heal wounds
Skincare trends come and go, but few ingredients have earned lasting credibility like Centella Asiatica. Also known as Cica, this botanical powerhouse has centuries of healing history and continues to deliver modern results for sensitive, stressed, or aging skin. In fact, it’s one of the most widely beloved ingredients in Korean skincare—and a hero component in Riman’s Incellderm ICD skincare line.
But what exactly is Centella Asiatica? And why has Riman taken it to the next level with our patented Giant BYoungPooltechnology? Let’s explore why this “green elixir” belongs in your skincare routine.
What Is Centella Asiatica?
Also called Gotu Kola, Tiger Grass, or BYoungPool, Centella Asiatica is a leafy plant that grows in humid wetlands across Asia and Africa. Historically used in Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine to treat wounds and inflammation, its skin-healing reputation is backed by modern science.
Its nickname “Tiger Grass” comes from the wild—tigers have been spotted rolling in it to heal their wounds. That same restorative power is why it’s now a go-to ingredient for calming and regenerating irritated skin.
The Key Compounds Behind Centella Asiatica’s Benefits
Centella Asiatica is rich in triterpenoid saponins, known as centellosides:
Asiaticoside – Promotes collagen production and wound repair
Madecassoside – A powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant
Asiatic Acid – Helps improve elasticity and cell turnover
Madecassic Acid – Calms irritation and supports the skin barrier
These compounds help soothe inflammation, accelerate healing, and enhance hydration—making them ideal for sensitive or acne-prone skin.
Why Centella Asiatica Is So Popular in Skincare
It’s not just hype—Centella Asiatica delivers visible results. Here are some of its most celebrated skincare benefits:
Soothes Irritation: Great for eczema, rosacea, and sensitive skin
Fades Scars: Speeds post-breakout recovery and reduces marks
Strengthens the Barrier: Boosts your skin’s defense system
Supports Anti-Aging: Enhances collagen production for firmer skin
Protects with Antioxidants: Guards against UV and environmental stress
Hydrates Deeply: Keeps skin plump, balanced, and dewy
It’s versatile, gentle, and effective—ideal for daily use across all skin types.
How Centella Asiatica Is Used in Skincare
Cica is found in cleansers, serums, moisturizers, masks, and BB creams. “Cica creams” in particular are formulated to calm sensitive or compromised skin, but Centella Asiatica works equally well in a daily regimen for strengthening and hydration.
How Riman Enhances Centella Asiatica with Incellderm ICD
Many brands use Centella Asiatica—but not like Riman. In our Incellderm ICD line, we’ve redefined what this ingredient can do by prioritizing purity, potency, and advanced absorption.
Fresh vs. Dried: A Critical Difference
Most products use dried extracts, which lose potency during processing. Riman uses fresh Centella Asiatica, preserving the full spectrum of active centellosides for maximum effectiveness—like cooking with fresh herbs instead of dried ones.
Our Breakthrough: Patented Giant Centella Asiatica
Known as Giant BYoungPool, this proprietary strain contains significantly higher levels of asiaticoside and madecassoside—giving it superior calming, anti-aging, and brightening properties.
Lab studies suggest Giant BYoungPool is more effective at:
Soothing sensitive, reactive skin
Supporting post-acne recovery and scar fading
Boosting collagen for firmer, youthful-looking skin
Reducing melanin for a more even skin tone
Where It’s Grown—and Why It Matters
Our Giant Centella is cultivated on Jeju Island using a Smart Farm system, controlling soil, light, and water for consistent purity. The island’s mineral-rich environment helps produce leaves up to 4x larger than standard Centella, which means more antioxidants and nutrients per harvest.
We extract compounds from fresh plants only, then refine them using Microfluidizer Technology to ensure deep penetration into the skin—key to our Intra Cellular Dermatology (ICD) philosophy.
