Best Korean Centella Sunscreens: Which Ones Actually Have Centella?

Type “centella sunscreen” into a K-beauty shop and you get a wall of green tubes: cica this, soothing that, relief, calming, heartleaf. So we did the thing the product pages don’t do. We opened the full ingredient list of nine Korean sunscreens sold on the centella promise and checked two things for each one: is Centella asiatica actually on the list, and if it is, how far down? The answers sort the shelf in a way the front of the tube never will. Four of the nine have no centella at all. One that does puts it at position 51 out of 53. And only one of them prints enough of it to reach the lowest dose the research we could find has ever tested.

What centella is, and what “cica” and “heartleaf” are not

Centella asiatica is a small creeping plant, also sold as gotu kola, and “cica” is the cosmetics nickname for the same thing. A 2013 review in Postepy Dermatologii i Alergologii names the parts of it that do the work: “The active compounds include pentacyclic triterpenes, mainly asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic and madecassic acids.”^[1] Those four names matter for label reading, because you will see them printed separately at the very bottom of some lists, after the extract itself.

What the plant does in skin, according to the same review, is mostly about repair and inflammation: “The mechanism of action involves promoting fibroblast proliferation and increasing the synthesis of collagen and intracellular fibronectin content and also improvement of the tensile strength of newly formed skin as well as inhibiting the inflammatory phase of hypertrophic scars and keloids.”^[1] A 2014 overview by the same group in Phytotherapy Research frames its scope the same way, as “the improvement of the healing process of small wounds, hypertrophic scars and burns by C. asiatica.”^[2] Wounds, scars, burns. None of that is sun protection. Centella is not a UV filter, and a tube with a lot of it in it has exactly the SPF its filters give it.

Two names get mixed up with it. “Cica” is centella. “Heartleaf” is not. Heartleaf is Houttuynia cordata, a different plant from a different family, and several of the sunscreens below use it for the same soothing story. Some formulas contain both. Some contain only heartleaf and sell on a tube that looks, to a shopper who does not read Latin, like a centella tube.

One more caution before the picks, and it comes from the research itself. A 2020 review in Frontiers in Pharmacology that pulled together the clinical work on the plant and its triterpenes gave this verdict, and we are quoting both halves of it rather than the first alone: “The results showed that C. asiatica and its triterpenoids had extensive beneficial effects on neurological and skin diseases, which were confirmed through clinical studies.” A sentence on mechanisms follows, and then the caveat: “However, further clinical studies are urgently required due to the low level of evidence and lack of patients.”^[4] Low level of evidence, lack of patients. That is the state of the science for the plant on its own, before anyone dilutes it into a sunscreen.

What the research actually tested, and at what dose

The study that gets used to justify centella in skincare is a 2016 paper published in Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, and its design is the part that matters here. In the authors’ words: “The study was conducted over four weeks on a group of 25 volunteers after twice a day application of cosmetic formulations with Centella asiatica extract (2.5 and 5%, w/w) on their forearms.”^[3] The products were an oil-in-water cream and a hydrogel, not sunscreens. Their result: “In vivo tests formulations containing 5% of Centella asiatica extract showed the best efficacy in improving skin moisture by increase of skin surface hydration state and decrease in transepidermal water loss as well as exhibited antiinflammatory properties based on the methyl nicotinate model of microinflammation in human skin.”^[3]

Read the conditions back. Twenty-five people. Four weeks. Twice a day on the forearm, in a cream built around the extract. The doses were 2.5% and 5%, and the 5% version did best. Nobody in that study wore a sunscreen, and nobody measured a face. So when a sunscreen lists centella, the honest question is not “does centella work” but “how much of this tube is centella, and is it anywhere near 2.5%?” For a product with no printed figure, the label cannot tell you. For two Korean products it can, and that is the whole reason this article is possible.

How to read a centella sunscreen label: the 1% rule

Start with the rule that governs the order. US cosmetic labeling regulation requires “a declaration of the name of each ingredient in descending order of predominance,” and then allows a shortcut at the bottom: ingredients “present at a concentration of not more than 1 percent” may be listed “without respect to order of predominance.”^[5] So a list is a ranking down to the 1% line and a jumble after it. No percentage is ever required.

Korean brands sometimes volunteer one anyway, printed in parts per million in brackets next to the ingredient name. Converting is simple: divide ppm by 10,000 to get a percentage. 29,400 ppm is 2.94%. 9,800 ppm is 0.98%. 1,425 ppm is 0.14%. 10 ppm is 0.001%.

Here is why a single printed number is worth more than it looks. On the SKIN1004 Water-Fit Sun Serum list, Centella Asiatica Extract is printed as 9,800 ppm and it is the fifteenth ingredient of forty-two.^[7] If 0.98% is at position 15, then positions 16 through 42 are at 1% or less each, because anything above 1% would have had to be listed before it. Twenty-seven ingredients, including eight more plant extracts and three forms of hyaluronic acid, are capped by one bracketed figure. The same brand’s Air-Fit Suncream Light prints centella at 29,400 ppm in position 8 of 34, which means the seven ingredients above it, zinc oxide included, are each present at 2.94% or more.^[6]

When there is no number, you fall back to position, and position only tells you order. Purito lists centella at 23 of 35 with no figure attached; Dr.G lists it at 26 of 36, also with no figure.^[8][9] Both are almost certainly under 1%, since both sit deep in the list next to tocopherol and ceramides, ingredients that formulas conventionally use in small amounts, but “almost certainly” is as far as the label lets you go. That is the method. Now the products.

The picks: Korean centella sunscreens by label position

Affiliate links below, but they cost you nothing extra. We only point you to what the ingredient lists actually back up.

Every position and ppm figure below was read directly off the product’s ingredient listing on INCIDecoder on 2026-08-21 and cross-checked against the ingredient list on the retailer page we link to, so the version you would buy is the version we read. Centella is a bonus ingredient, so this list is ordered by where the bonus sits, and each pick also says what the sunscreen underneath it is. For the other side of the question, how to pair a sunscreen with the actives you apply under it, retinol, vitamin C and acids, see our guide to Korean sunscreen with actives; this piece is about an active that sits inside the tube.

1. SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Air-Fit Suncream Light (SPF30 PA++++)

Centella position: 8 of 34. Disclosed amount: 29,400 ppm, or 2.94%.^[6] Filter: zinc oxide, which the listing marks as the only sunscreen filter, so this is a mineral sunscreen; the Benzotriazolyl Dodecyl p-Cresol at position 7 carries no filter label on the listing and is not one of the UV filters we count. Fragrance: none, and no essential oils on the list.

This is the only sunscreen we found that gets past the 2.5% floor of the forearm study, and it does it by a margin, not a rounding error. The rest of the list reads like a centella product that happens to be SPF: niacinamide at 10, houttuynia at 17, and the three named triterpenes, madecassic acid, asiaticoside, and asiatic acid, closing the list at 32, 33, and 34.^[6] The trade is the one every mineral SPF30 asks for: a lower number on the box than the chemical picks below, and zinc oxide’s usual tendency to leave a visible cast on darker skin. We already recommended this one for reactive skin in our guide to sunscreen breakouts and irritation, and where it fits among the brand’s other tubes is in our SKIN1004 sunscreen line guide. Check the Air-Fit Light on YesStyle.

2. SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum (SPF50+ PA++++)

Centella position: 15 of 42. Disclosed amount: 9,800 ppm, or 0.98%.^[7] Filters: four chemical filters, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate at 4, Ethylhexyl Triazone at 6, Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol at 7, and Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone at 11. Fragrance: none.

Less centella than the Light, by a factor of three, and a much stronger sunscreen under it, which is the trade most people should take. Four modern filters at SPF50+ PA++++, niacinamide at 8, and the ppm habit that makes this brand easy to check: the list also prints sodium hyaluronate at 10 ppm and hyaluronic acid at 0.01 ppm, so the “Hyalu” in the name is decorative and the brand tells you so.^[7] Buy it as a sunscreen with a known, under-1% dose of centella, not as a centella treatment. Check the Water-Fit Sun Serum on YesStyle.

3. Purito SEOUL Daily Soft Touch Sunscreen (SPF50+ PA++++)

Centella position: 23 of 35. Disclosed amount: none printed.^[8] Filters: four chemical filters, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate at 5, Ethylhexyl Triazone at 6, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine at 7, and Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol at 10. Fragrance: none, no essential oils.

Here centella is a footnote and the sunscreen is the story. Position 23 puts it after bisabolol and panthenol and just before tocopherol and five ceramides, all things formulas use in small amounts, so treat it as under 1% with no number to argue about.^[8] The reason to buy it is the fragrance-free, four-filter base, which is why it also turns up in our irritation guide. If you were choosing between this and the Water-Fit purely on centella, the Water-Fit wins on paper. If you were choosing on filter lineup and a scent-free list, they are close. Check the Purito Daily Soft Touch on YesStyle.

4. Dr.G Green Mild Up Sun+ (SPF50+ PA++++)

Centella position: 26 of 36. Disclosed amount: none printed.^[9] Filter: the list’s only regulated UV filter is zinc oxide, so this is a mineral sunscreen. Fragrance: the listing carries a “Fragrance and Essential Oil Free” flag, and no fragrance or essential oil appears on the list.

Last of the four on centella, and on the list for a different reason: it is the only other mineral option, and it carries the database’s “Fragrance and Essential Oil Free” flag on top of a clean list. Centella at 26 is joined by houttuynia at 31 and ectoin at 32, the calming trio, and all three are in the bottom third of the list.^[9] A version note, because this product has been renewed: an older listing under the name Green Mild Up Sun, without the plus sign, is a different 53-ingredient formula with centella at 13 and bergamot, geranium, and rose oils further down. The tube currently sold as Sun+, which is the one we link, is the 36-ingredient list described here. Check the Green Mild Up Sun+ on YesStyle.

The “centella” sunscreens that don’t have centella

This is the section we did not find in the roundups we read, so it gets its own space. Each of the four below is sold, in shops and in roundups, as a soothing Korean sunscreen in the same breath as the SKIN1004 tubes. We read the full list for each on 2026-08-21 and searched it for Centella Asiatica Extract, asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid, and madecassic acid.

• Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics (SPF50+ PA++++). No centella, in either the current 2025 listing or the earlier one. The plant in this tube is rice: Oryza Sativa Extract at position 20 of 42 on the 2025 list, and printed second at 30% on the earlier list.^[10] “Relief” is the product name, not an ingredient.
• Round Lab Birch Juice Moisturizing Sun Cream. No centella. The named plant is birch sap, disclosed at 1,425 ppm, which is 0.14%, at position 15 of 40.^[11]
• COSRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream (SPF50 PA+++). No centella. Aloe Arborescens Leaf Extract is at 19 of 36, and Fragrance is at 34.^[12] This is also an older filter set than anything else on this page, with Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate second on the list.
• Anua Heartleaf Silky Moisture Sunscreen. No centella. Heartleaf means Houttuynia Cordata Extract, which is at 18 of 41.^[13] A good example of the name mix-up from the first section: heartleaf and cica are different plants, and this tube only has the first.

One more belongs here as a cautionary tale rather than an absence. Abib Heartleaf Mild Sunscreen Relief (SPF50+ PA++++) does contain centella: the extract is the 51st ingredient of 53, with asiaticoside, madecassic acid, and asiatic acid at 48, 49, and 50, and houttuynia, the plant in the name, at 21.^[14] Technically present, practically a garnish. If a product like this appears on a “best centella sunscreen” list, the list was built from the marketing, not the label.

Same base, different plant

Reading all nine lists side by side turned up something we did not go looking for. Three Korean sunscreens from three brands are the same sunscreen for their first fourteen ingredients. Here are positions 1 through 15 of the SKIN1004 Water-Fit Sun Serum, the 2025 Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun listing, and the Round Lab Birch Juice Moisturizing Sun Cream, exactly as printed.^[7][10][11]

#	SKIN1004 Water-Fit	Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun (2025)	Round Lab Birch Juice
1	Water	Aqua	Water
2	Dibutyl Adipate	Dibutyl Adipate	Dibutyl Adipate

14	Butylene Glycol	Butylene Glycol	Butylene Glycol
15	Centella Asiatica Extract (9,800 ppm)	Pentylene Glycol (rice extract is at 20)	Birch Sap (1,425 ppm)

Same four UV filters in the same order, same emollients, same humectants, same niacinamide, with one swap of positions 7 and 8 in the Round Lab. Then, at position 15, each brand drops in the plant that goes on the front of the tube: centella for SKIN1004, birch for Round Lab, and for Beauty of Joseon a glycol, with rice arriving five places later. Three tubes, three marketing stories, one sunscreen. Our piece on sunscreen with niacinamide looked at a related question from the other direction, whether the actives inside a sunscreen ever reach a tested dose; this table is the reason the question comes up so often. The competition between these products happens at position 15, not in the filters, and a shopper choosing between them on the plant is choosing a label.

Who should skip a centella sunscreen

Three groups, and for each the ingredient list is the tool.

If you are buying it for the centella. Step back and reread the dose section. One product on this page reaches the tested range and it is an SPF30 mineral cream. Every other “centella sunscreen” on this page is, by its own label or by its position, almost certainly at or under 1% of the plant, in a product you wash off at night. If centella is the goal, a serum built around it at a stated percentage is the rational purchase; the sunscreen is for UV, full stop.

If you react to fragrance or essential oils. Centella on the front of the tube says nothing about what is at the back. Of the nine lists we read, the COSRX carries Fragrance outright, the Round Lab has chamomile flower oil at 24, and the older Dr.G formula carried bergamot, geranium, and rose oils.^[12][11][9] The four picks above are all free of both, which is not a coincidence; it is the second filter we applied after centella position. Read the last ten lines of any list before you trust the word “mild.”

If you want the highest SPF and no cast. The two mineral options here, the Air-Fit Light and the Dr.G, are the two with the most and least centella respectively, and both use zinc oxide, which can leave a visible cast on medium and deep skin tones. The Air-Fit Light is also SPF30. If you need SPF50+ and an invisible finish, the chemical picks, the Water-Fit and the Purito, are the ones to start with.

And a general one: centella is a plant extract, and the 2014 overview lists “the potential side effects of C. asiatica” among the things it discusses, which is enough to say the ingredient is not automatically safe for every skin.^[2] If plant extracts have given you trouble before, patch-test a centella sunscreen on the jaw for a few days the way you would any new product.

We’re not dermatologists, and none of this is medical advice. If you have a skin condition, a history of reactions to plant extracts, or a reason your sun protection needs are different from most people’s, talk to a doctor before changing what you use.

FAQ

Does a centella sunscreen block more UV than a regular one?

No. Centella asiatica is not a UV filter and adds nothing to SPF or PA. The 2013 review describes its activity in terms of fibroblast proliferation, collagen synthesis, and “inhibiting the inflammatory phase of hypertrophic scars and keloids,” which is repair and inflammation, not light absorption.^[1] A tube’s protection comes entirely from its filters: zinc oxide on the SKIN1004 Air-Fit Light and the Dr.G Green Mild Up Sun+, and four chemical filters on the SKIN1004 Water-Fit and the Purito Daily Soft Touch.^[6][7][8][9] Pick the sunscreen for its filters and treat the centella as a tiebreaker.

Is a higher centella ppm always better?

Higher is more honest, not automatically better. The one human study we have on centella creams tested 2.5% and 5% for four weeks on forearms, twice a day, and the 5% did best.^[3] Only the SKIN1004 Air-Fit Light, at 29,400 ppm or 2.94%, reaches that range; the Water-Fit’s 9,800 ppm works out to 0.98%, while the Purito and Dr.G print no figure at all.^[6][7][8][9] Two cautions: nobody has tested whether centella does anything useful inside a sunscreen at any of these doses, and a brand can change its formula between listings, so check the number on the tube you are holding rather than the one in a review.

Can you be allergic to centella?

It is a plant extract, and the 2014 overview of centella in dermatology includes “the potential side effects of C. asiatica” in its scope, so the ingredient is not automatically safe for everyone.^[2] In practice, the bigger risk on a “soothing” sunscreen is usually something else on the list: the COSRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream carries Fragrance at position 34, while the four picks above are all fragrance-free and essential-oil-free.^[12] Patch-test any new sunscreen on the jaw for a few days, and if you have reacted to botanical extracts before, start with the product that keeps its plant list shortest.
