What It Is

Gotu Kola Extract Powder 10% is a standardized botanical active derived from Centella asiatica — one of the most revered herbs in Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine, celebrated for centuries as the "herb of longevity." This 10% standardized extract delivers a concentrated, consistent dose of its key triterpenoid compounds: asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid, and madecassic acid.

In modern cosmetic formulations, these actives are clinically recognized for their ability to calm inflammation, reinforce the skin barrier, stimulate collagen synthesis, and visibly improve the appearance of fine lines, redness, and stressed skin. It is a true multi-tasker — equally at home in a barrier-repair moisturizer, a brightening serum, or a post-procedure recovery product.

Suggested Usage & Formulation

Gotu Kola Extract Powder can be used in a wide range of skincare applications including serums, creams, lotions, toners, gels, and masks. To incorporate, first dissolve the powder into the water phase of your formulation. It is best used at a concentration of 0.5% to 2% depending on the desired strength of activity. For emulsions, it can be added directly to the heated water phase or blended in during the cool-down stage once the base has reached 40 °C or lower. In powder-to-foam or dry mask formats, it can be mixed directly with other powdered actives or clays.

This ingredient is highly versatile and blends easily into both leave-on and rinse-off products, making it a popular choice for natural and high-performance skincare formulations.

WHY FORMULATORS USE IT

Gotu Kola Extract is chosen for its dual soothing and anti-aging properties. It helps calm reactive skin, supports collagen maintenance, and improves hydration—all while bringing the rich story of a time-honored botanical to modern formulations. Its versatility allows it to be incorporated across creams, serums, toners, masks, and scalp care, making it a cornerstone botanical in luxury skincare.
