CIR composition sections and HPLC methods commonly track it with madecassoside and the related acids as Centella markers[1].

What it does

Appears as a quantified marker in Centella extract characterisation and sometimes as a labelled isolate. This draft does not assert a consumer potency grade or clinical endpoint ranking[1].

The evidence

Safety and composition context for Centella-derived ingredients is discussed in CIR Centella assessments; isolate-specific cosmetic conclusions remain pending a dedicated Index expansion[1].
