Product Description

Centella Asiatica (Cica) Aged Infused Oil is a lightweight botanical infusion prepared by slowly cold-infusing 20% Centella asiatica leaf in Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides (MCT Oil) for 4–6 weeks.

The extended infusion period allows the botanical material to remain in contact with the carrier oil for several weeks, encouraging gradual transfer of oil-compatible botanical constituents. The resulting infusion combines the traditional concept of a slow-aged botanical oil with the light, dry and easily spreadable characteristics of MCT Oil.

Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides are valued in cosmetic formulations for their lightweight texture, excellent spreadability and low-greasy sensory profile, making this version particularly suitable for facial oils, serums, lightweight body oils and other modern personal-care formulations.

Value of the Aged Botanical Oil

The 4–6 week aging period differentiates this product from rapidly produced infused oils. During the extended maceration period, Centella Asiatica remains in prolonged contact with the MCT carrier, allowing gradual transfer of oil-compatible botanical components.

The slow infusion process provides a traditional, craft-oriented botanical oil story, while the MCT carrier gives the finished ingredient a contemporary cosmetic profile that is lightweight and easy to formulate with.

Active / Characteristic Constituents

Centella asiatica is traditionally associated with triterpenoid compounds including asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid. The extent to which these constituents are transferred into an oil infusion depends on the botanical material, processing conditions and their oil solubility.

This product is not a standardized Centella extract unless otherwise specified in the batch documentation.
