About

White peony root powder, a traditional botanical in East Asian skincare known for its brightening, moisturizing, and skin-evening benefits.

Paeonia lactiflora root powder is the powdered whole-root form of the same botanical as the root extract and root vesicles ingredients. The safety and benefit profile is equivalent to those forms: well-studied, not restricted under EU cosmetic law, and widely used in Asian skincare. The powder form may be used in leave-on formulations at concentrations up to typical botanical inclusion levels (≤1-2%). No EU Annex restrictions apply.

Skin benefits

  • Paeoniflorin inhibits melanin transfer to keratinocytes, brightening skin
  • Anti-inflammatory activity reduces redness and sensitivity
  • Antioxidant protection from whole-root matrix of phenolics
