FAQs:

WHAT MAKES THE CICA IN EPOCH CICA BALM AN ETHNOBOTANICAL?

Ethnobotanicals are plants or herbs that are tied to a region and its people. Cica falls into this group because this soothing botanical has been cherished for centuries in the ancient Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine traditions across Asia. Today, it flourishes across Asia, the Americas, and Pacific islands, spreading its naturally rejuvenating benefits globally.

WHAT IS CICA?

We like to think of it as an ancient botanical with some seriously modern benefits. Cica, also known as Gotu kola, Centella asiatica, Asiatic pennywort, or Indian pennywort is renowned for its wide range of therapeutic properties that may help support overall wellness and beauty. That’s why we’ve included it in our moisturizing color corrector balm.

WHY DOES THE PRODUCT TURN GREEN DURING APPLICATION?

While applying a notably green product directly to your skin may feel a little counter-intuitive, we dug deep into the science of color for this one. Color theory is based on the color wheel—a circular diagram of complementary colors. Red’s complementary color is green. Therefore, when mixed, these two colors neutralize each other, resulting in a new tone (think the browns and greys in skin tone), making it perfect for visibly neutralizing redness in your skin on the spot. And once you massage in the product thoroughly, the green disappears, leaving your skin beautifully blended.
