Asiatic acid

Asiatic acid (CAS 464-92-6), also known as dammarolic acid, is a pentacyclic triterpenoid derived from Centella asiatica. It is used across pharmaceutical and cosmetic manufacturing as a bioactive ingredient.

The compound targets skin repair, anti-aging, and wound-healing formulations. In topical cosmetic formulations, it is incorporated into creams, serums, and gels where it supports collagen synthesis and skin barrier restoration.

This makes it a sought-after active in premium anti-aging and scar-treatment products. Pharmaceutical developers use it as a reference compound and active ingredient in dermatological preparations for skin regeneration.

In nutraceutical and botanical extract standardization, it serves as a key marker compound for Centella asiatica extracts. This enables QA teams to verify potency and batch consistency during production.

Formulators working on functional skincare also use it alongside madecassic acid and asiaticoside. These components help build standardized Centella-derived active complexes for various high-end skincare applications.

The product is supplied as a white to off-white crystalline powder. It is available in cosmetic-grade and pharmaceutical-grade specifications, with purity levels typically ranging from 95% to 98%+ by HPLC.

Bulk quantities and smaller research or formulation lots are both standard offerings in the market. This ensures that both large-scale manufacturers and specialized laboratories can access the material they need.
