Product Introduction產品介紹

Properties:
TECA is one of the most studied extract of Centella asiatica by the scientific community and the most used by the Cosmetic industry. TECA’s properties and applications based on the scientific literature:
Anti-Wrinkle Properties: TECA contains asiaticoside, which stimulates collagen synthesis, leading to improved skin elasticity and reduced wrinkle depth.

Firming Effects: The presence of asiatic acid and madecassic acid enhances fibronectin and collagen synthesis by up to 35%, contributing to firmer skin.

Repairing Effects: Asiaticoside promotes wound healing by stimulating extracellular matrix accumulation, including increased dry weight, DNA, total protein, collagen, and glycosaminoglycan contents in wounds.

Anti-Inflammatory Properties: TECA reduces inflammation through decreased levels of inflammatory cytokines like TNF-alpha, IL-1β, and IL-4, aiding in tissue repair without excessive scarring.

Antioxidant Activity: The extract protects against UVB-mediated damage via regulation of miRNA expression profiles, reducing oxidative stress that can lead to premature aging.

Skin Health Improvement: By enhancing cellular redox status and reducing ROS production, TECA prevents hydrogen peroxide-induced senescence in skin cells, maintaining youthful appearance.

UV Protection: It offers a protective effect against UVB damage by altering microRNA expression profiles in human dermal fibroblasts, preserving cell viability under UV exposure.

Applications
Cosmetic Applications: Due to its anti-wrinkle, firming, and repairing properties, TECA is used in various cosmetic products for skincare routines aimed at improving overall skin health and appearance. Therapeutic Uses: In traditional medicine, Centella asiatica extracts are employed for their wound-healing capabilities, making them valuable for topical treatments of wounds and skin defects.
