A peony plant extract. It helps calm skin, common in products for sensitive skin. Well tolerated.
Topical application
BLimited evidence. One RCT or several controlled studies with limitations.
A soothing plant extract. Safe.
Paeonia Albiflora Root Extract is the extract of peony root, a plant long used in East Asian care traditions. It contains compounds such as paeoniflorin, linked to a soothing and antioxidant effect. In cosmetics it shows up mainly in products for sensitive and reactive skin. As an active it is supporting. There is interest and some study of its compounds, but the specific evidence base in facial cosmetic formulas stays modest. It is reasonable as a secondary soothing ingredient that helps comfort the skin, not an active that fixes specific problems on its own. For topical use it is not meaningfully absorbed, so it can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding without restriction. Tolerance is good: irritation and allergy potential are low, with no comedogenicity rating. It suits sensitive and oily skin. Being a botanical extract, an individual reaction is possible though uncommon, and the response also depends on the formula as a whole.
