About
Whole flower material from Paeonia albiflora (Chinese peony) — rich in paeoniflorin and flavonoids. Traditional, gentle, but broadly characterized.
Paeonia albiflora (also known as Paeonia lactiflora) flower is the raw flower tissue from the Chinese peony, long used in East-Asian herbal traditions. It contains paeoniflorin (a monoterpene glycoside), flavonoids, and tannins with antioxidant and skin-soothing activity in in vitro studies. As a whole-flower ingredient rather than a defined extract, characterization varies supplier-to-supplier. No SCCS or CIR monograph; EU CosIng lists Paeonia species without restriction. Generally well-tolerated at cosmetic use levels, with rare reports of sensitization in susceptible individuals. Evidence is mostly ethnobotanical plus industry data rather than rigorous cosmetic safety studies.
