Asiatic acid

What’s Asiatic acid ?

Asiatic acid is a potent antioxidant that is found naturally in many plants, including _Centella asiatica_, _Actinidia arguta,_ _Maytenus procumbens,_ and _Psidium guajava_. It’s used in skin care to help inhibit triggers of sun damage and aging skin. More specifically, studies demonstrate asiatic acid’s potential for reducing glycative activity (one of the causes of aging skin). This ingredient works along various pathways of skin, which equates to multitasking benefits, including soothing. Certain researchers point out asiatic acid has low bioavailability due to poor solubility in solution. This limits its practical use in topical products. However, cosmetic chemists can work around this by utilizing penetration-enhancing delivery systems to improve the permeability and affinity for skin. A derivative of asiatic acid known as AAGS (asiatic acid and glucosamine) can also be used to deliver these benefits. Asiatic acid presents as a white powder in its raw material form. Recommend usage levels vary by supplier, typically ranging between 0.01-0.5%. In addition to its cosmetic benefits for skin, asiatic acid has been extensively studied for its medicinal uses and oral applications.
