FunctionSoothing

What it is — Madecassic Acid (INCI: Madecassic Acid) is a soothing, skin-conditioning ingredient.

What it does — It is commonly used as one of the four key centella asiatica triterpenes, supporting skin-barrier repair.

Typical use — It is common in calming toners, essences, serums, masks, moisturizers and scalp treatments aimed at a comfortable, conditioned feel. It is a common choice in 'calming' or 'cica'-style routines built around comfort.

Who it suits / good to know — Often chosen for sensitive, dry or easily-irritated skin and scalps. It pairs well with humectants and barrier ingredients. It is an easy addition to a routine focused on comfort rather than strong actives.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk: well-studied centella-derived soothing compound. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.

Why we grade it Low: Low risk — well-studied centella-derived soothing compound.
