What Is Madecassoside? Benefits for Sensitive & Stressed Skin

This is our preferred ingredient when it comes to counteracting silent, chronic inflammation – often the price of contemporary life. Madecassoside is a pharmaceutical-grade fraction obtained from Centella asiatica, also known as “tiger herb”. It is not the mere extract of the plant, in which Madecassoside is present, but its purified and much more active form. Meaning, whatever benefits you already associate with the extract of Centella, they are multiplied inside Madecassoside!

Madecassoside mainly helps with stress-related conditions. It balances the overproduction of cytokines. Cytokines are pro-inflammatory messengers that the skin makes when it is stressed or under attack. Lowering this overproduction re-establishes the conditions needed for self-repair and recovery.

Swissline was the first Swiss brand to introduce this active ingredient to skincare in 2006. It was used in its Cell Shock Age Intelligence™ products after treatments like peelings, lasers, and dermabrasion. It remains today one of the core ingredients for the entire collection.
