What Centella Asiatica does

The K-beauty hero known as cica (in India, gotu kola or brahmi). It calms irritation and redness and helps a stressed barrier recover. That makes it a perfect sidekick to strong actives.

What Squalane does

A lightweight, stable oil that mimics your skin's own sebum. It softens and seals in moisture without clogging pores, so even oily skin usually tolerates it.
