What it is
Paeonia Albiflora Flower Extract is derived from the flowers of the Chinese peony, a plant long featured in East Asian botanical traditions. The extract is used to condition the skin and contribute antioxidant character, and it appears frequently in Korean brightening-oriented formulas. In sunscreens it serves as a supporting botanical rather than a functional active.
Safety & warnings
Peony flower extract is generally well tolerated. As with any botanical extract, sensitivity is possible in predisposed individuals, but it is not a commonly cited allergen and is used at low levels.
