DESCRIPTION

Gotu Kola, known in Asia as the “herb of longevity,” has been celebrated for centuries in traditional Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine. Today, its refined 10% standardized extract is a powerhouse cosmetic active, rich in triterpenoids such as asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid, and madecassic acid. These compounds are recognized for their ability to soothe irritation, improve skin hydration, and encourage a firmer, more youthful-looking complexion.

In cosmetic formulations, Gotu Kola Extract is prized as both a calming and revitalizing botanical. It supports barrier strength, reduces the visible effects of environmental stress, and helps maintain skin’s suppleness and elasticity, making it a versatile choice for modern skincare.

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.
