Paeonia suffruticosa root extract is an extract obtained from a hybrid species of tree peony, Paeonia suffruticosa.
The root bark has a long tradition of use in treating sores, abscesses, and irregular menstruation in Chinese traditional medicine - where it is called Mu Dan Pi or Cortex Moutan.
It is used as an astringent ingredient in skincare products due to its content of various active compounds such as tannins, terpenes, and paeonols. The tannins give the skin a tightened feeling and, in combination with the other compounds, may help to reduce signs of irritation and redness.
