Our Ingredients

Where We Began

Driven by the belief that whatever touches the skin must be pristine,
we set out on a long journey in search of the purest ingredient.
At the end of that journey, we arrived in Madagascar—
a land untouched, where nature thrives in its rawest and powerful form.
There, we discovered the purest truth we had been searching for.

MADAGASCAR
CENTELLA ASIATICA

At 700 meters above sea level, with an average annual temperature of 23–27°C,
abundant rainfall, and rich volcanic soil—
Madagascar offers an extraordinary environment rich in biodiversity.
Home to over 83% of plant species found nowhere else on Earth,
this land nurtures unparalleled ecological richness and resilience.
Centella Asiatica grown in Madagascar thrives without human interference,
preserving the untouched purity of nature.

Why Our Centella is Different

Grown in the harsh, untouched terrain of Madagascar,
our Centella Asiatica contains significantly higher
concentrations of madecassoside and TECA—
the core actives known for their powerful soothing effects.

The resiliant Centella calms sensitive, irritated skin quickly,
and helps restore the skin’s natural strength from within.

From this rare vitality, we discovered
the skin’s deeper capacity to recover and thrive.

G.A.C.P

At SKIN1004, we follow the principles of GACP (Good Agricultural and Collection Practices),
harvesting our Centella Asiatica through sustainable methods that protect both the land and the plant.

Our expert pickers carefully gather each leaf without harming the roots—
using only clean hands and tools, never blades, to ensure the plant is not permanently damaged.
Every step, from drying to storage, is carried out in a clean, controlled environment to prevent contamination.

For us, quality goes beyond the ingredient itself—
it’s about creating beauty in harmony with nature.
