Paeonia Albiflora Flower Extract

Paeonia albiflora (peony) flower extract is primarily a botanical antioxidant/soothing agent used at low concentrations (typically <1–2%), but like many plant extracts it contains multiple bioactive compounds that can trigger stinging or contact dermatitis in reactive or eczema-prone skin. While broad clinical irritancy data are limited and it is often well-tolerated, the variability of botanical extracts and documented botanical sensitization risk justify a mild irritancy score for high-sensitivity populations and cumulative-use routines. Safety Notes: In commercial skincare, Paeonia Albiflora Flower Extract is often used as a botanical supporting/claims ingredient in complex blends, where it can appear at very low labeling-level doses (~0.0001–0.01%), especially in serums, toners, and moisturizers. More functional use levels in leave-on brightening/soothing products commonly fall around ~0.1–1% (often depending on the supplier’s extract potency and solvent system), while the highest consumer-available concentrations are typically seen in single-hero botanical or concentrated essence/ampoule-style formulas that use the extract at several percent, reaching about ~5% in some products; rinse-off products generally sit toward the lower end due to brief contact time and cost/claims positioning.
