What is Cica?

Cica, also known as Centella Asiatica or Tiger Grass, is a herbaceous plant native to wetlands in Asia. Celebrated for its powerful healing properties, the plant has been used in traditional medicine across cultures for thousands of years.

Cica is renowned for its ability to soothe irritated skin, reduce redness, and expedite wound healing, making it ideal for sensitive skin.
