Cosactive Asiatica – the active ingredient Asiatica from Cosactive

Introduction

Cosactive Asiatica – the active ingredient Asiatica from Cosactive based on Centella Asiatica. It also known as tiger grass or Gotu Kola, has been used in traditional Asian medicine for thousands of years. The plant became famous for its wound-healing and skin-regenerating properties.

Today, it has found its place in the modern cosmetics industry – standardised, highly effective and scientifically proven. With ‘Cosactive Asiactica’, Cosactive presents an innovative active ingredient complex that combines the best properties of the plant in an optimal balance.

Centella Asiatica – a plant with history

The origins of Centella Asiatica go back a long way. In Ayurvedic tradition, it is considered a ‘memory herb’ that brings body and mind into harmony. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is referred to as the ‘source of longevity’. It was used externally from early times to treat wounds, skin inflammations and scars.

These millennia-old experiences form the basis for its modern use in cosmetics. Today we know that the effectiveness of Centella Asiatica is based on three key substances: asiaticoside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid. These are precisely the components at the heart of Cosactive GmbH’s active ingredient Asiactica.

What makes this active ingredient Asiatica from Cosactive so special?

Cosactive Asiatica is a highly effective raw material complex that contains the active ingredients of Centella Asiatica in an optimal balance. The standardisation of the three key substances ensures consistently high quality – a decisive advantage for the formulation of modern skin care products.

The properties of Cosactive Asiatica at a glance:

🌿 100% natural origin (ISO 16128)

🌿 Vegan, free from ethanol and preservatives

🌿 Highly concentrated with the key substances asiaticoside, madecassic acid and asiatic acid.

🌿 Easy to use in concentrations of 0.25–2%.

🌿 Ideal for dermatology, anti-ageing and sensitive skin products.

The three key substances in detail:

1. Asiaticoside:

This is a triterpene saponin glycoside and is considered the most important active ingredient in Centella Asiatica. It stimulates collagen I and collagen III synthesis, thereby supporting skin firmness and elasticity. Studies show that asiaticoside can accelerate wound healing and improve scarring.

For cosmetics, this means that asiaticoside in the active ingredient Asiactica from Cosactive GmbH not only has a smoothing and firming effect, but also regenerates the skin – ideal for anti-ageing products or special repair serums.

2. Asiatic acid

Asiatic acid is the free acid (aglycone) and a particularly powerful antioxidant.

It protects skin cells from free radicals and prevents collagen degradation caused by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs).

This makes asiatic acid a key ingredient for preventing premature skin ageing. It strengthens the skin barrier, improves resilience and is therefore ideal for skincare products with environmental protection and anti-pollution effects.

3. Madecassic acid

Madecassic acid is also an aglycone and is known for its healing properties. It stimulates granulation and epithelialisation, i.e. the regeneration of tissue. This supports scar reduction and the repair of damaged skin.

In Cosactive GmbH’s Asiatica active ingredient, it provides a noticeable repair effect, which is particularly beneficial for sensitive, irritated or stressed skin.
