What the % on the label really means

Madecassoside is the standardized active from centella, so even a small % (0.1–1%) is meaningful — unlike a vague 'centella extract' number, this one is measurable.

⚠️ Ceiling: It's effective at low purified percentages; very high figures are uncommon and not needed.
