Gotu Kola, also known as Centella asiatica, is a time-honoured herb with a rich history in traditional herbal medicine and skincare. For centuries, it has been a prized botanical in Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine, where it is recognised as a calming and rejuvenating plant, used to support skin health, ease irritation and maintain skin’s natural balance. In Ayurveda, Gotu Kola is considered a medhya rasayana, a plant believed to nourish both mind and body, often applied topically to soothe inflamed or stressed skin and promote skin renewal.

At Incicellar, we are proud to offer a water based Gotu Kola Extract created for modern natural skincare formulations. Our extract is produced using distilled water and palm free, vegetable-derived glycerin, delivering a gentle, water soluble ingredient ideal for hydrating and skin calming products.
