Product Description

Centella Asiatica (Cica) Aged Infused Oil is a premium botanical infusion prepared by cold-infusing 20% Centella asiatica herb in Rice Bran Oil for 4–6 weeks.

The extended infusion period allows gradual extraction of oil-compatible botanical constituents while preserving the character of a traditionally prepared botanical oil. Unlike rapidly produced infused oils, this product is deliberately aged for several weeks, giving it a mature and well-integrated botanical profile.

Rice Bran Oil provides a nourishing carrier rich in naturally occurring fatty acids, tocopherols and unsaponifiable compounds, making it an excellent base for skincare and personal-care formulations.

Value of the Aged Botanical Oil

The 4–6 week aging period is an important differentiating feature of this product. Extended maceration allows the herb to remain in contact with the carrier oil for a prolonged period, encouraging gradual transfer of oil-compatible botanical constituents.

This slow-crafted approach creates a product with a stronger traditional botanical infusion story and provides formulators with an alternative to rapidly produced infused oils.

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.
