Hanbang skin care is a traditional Korean beauty care method that uses natural plants and herbs in skin care products. Apart from ginseng, Centella, i.e. Centella Asiatica extract, is one of the most famous ingredients in Hanbang cosmetics. Centella Asiatica extract is obtained from the Centella Asiatica plant, which is a herbaceous plant native to tropical Asia that has long been used as a medicinal plant throughout Asia. In many cultures, South Korea included, Centella Asiatica is also known as Tiger grass or Tiger herb. This name stems from the belief that wounded tigers would seek out wild centella to treat their injuries. Legend has it that tigers rub themselves on the leaves of the plant to heal.
