Centella and Cica: Two names for the same plant?
You often encounter centella, cica and tiger grass next to each other. Here you can find out what the names have in common and where a Centella ampoule belongs.
Centella and Cica: Two names for the same plant?
Centella, Cica, tiger grass: When you look at different bottles, you may get the impression that they contain very different ingredients. What is usually meant is Centella Asiatica, the Indian pennywort. Cica is a common care term surrounding this plant. However, it does not yet reveal whether a product contains the plant extract or individual known components such as madecassoside. That’s why it’s worth taking a quick look at the exact name.
In the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule there is actually Centella Asiatica Extract in the list of ingredients. The watery care combines it with moisturizing glycerin and butylene glycol; the manufacturer describes it as soothing and moisturizing. If you’re looking for a light addition to your cream, you can spread a small amount evenly and pat in gently. The name Ampoule doesn’t require any special extra steps: you use it instead of a serum.
