MILDLAB Centella Ointment Cream

What is this product?

Reach for this MILDLAB cream if the goal is a centella product that actually prints its numbers. Five entries carry amounts: centella leaf water at 5.0 percent in position 5, then the three titrated constituents, madecassic acid, asiaticoside and asiatic acid, at positions 12, 16 and 20, plus centella extract at 23. Six of the thirty nine entries are centella derived. Two cyclic silicones at 8 and 10 make it an occlusive ointment style cream rather than a light one, which suits the post extraction use the brand names but sits awkwardly with acne prone skin. Three things to know before trusting the numbers here. A renewal genuinely happened, since the brand's own page announces a Centella 2.0 upgrade, and the list below is bound to that generation by arithmetic rather than by a dated label. The list itself comes from drugstore retail, not from the brand. And the brand's headline panthenol and niacinamide amounts appear nowhere in the regulated disclosure.

What makes it different?

Quantitative disclosure is the differentiator this record can point to: five of the thirty nine entries carry printed amounts, and the three titrated centella constituents are individually broken out with figures rather than folded into a single extract entry. No category baseline for how often amounts are printed was measured here, so no comparison against one is made. The occlusive system is silicone based: two cyclic silicones at positions 8 and 10, with no plant butter, fixed oil or mineral oil anywhere in the list. A five entry vitamin tail closes the list, four vitamin C derivatives and one riboflavin phosphate at positions 35 through 39, all at trace depth. Sodium guaiazulene sulfonate at 33 is an uncommon water soluble azulene soothing agent.
