Science: A 2025 clinical study in 88 women with sensitive skin found that a cream containing this extract reduced sensitivity scores by 66-76% over 4 weeks, with improvements in redness, barrier function, and pH balance. A 2023 expert panel safety assessment concluded all Centella asiatica-derived ingredients, including leaf extract, are safe for cosmetic use when formulated to be non-sensitizing.
