White Peony Root, Paeonia lactiflora, Paeoniflorin, Monoterpene Glycosides, Root

White Peony Root Extract Powder

White Peony Root Extract Powder is produced from the root of Paeonia lactiflora Pall., a member of the Paeoniaceae family. Also known as white peony root, Bai Shao, or Paeoniae Radix Alba, the botanical contains characteristic monoterpene glycosides including paeoniflorin, albiflorin, and benzoylpaeoniflorin. The ingredient is supplied as a concentrated botanical extract powder for formulation and commercial sourcing.

Essencefield supplies 10% paeoniflorin standardized extract tested by HPLC and 10:1 ratio extract. These formats support specification-driven sourcing as well as concentrated botanical formulation projects.

Ingredient Profile & Common Uses

White peony extract is derived from Paeonia lactiflora root rather than tree peony root bark or other commercially distinct Paeonia materials. The source botanical is associated with Bai Shao and Paeoniae Radix Alba. It should also be distinguished from conventional white peony root powder, which is milled botanical material rather than a concentrated extract.

Commercial grade selection depends on whether procurement is based on marker standardization or botanical concentration. A standardized extract provides a defined paeoniflorin target for quantitative formulation and supplier comparison, while a ratio extract expresses the relationship between botanical input and finished extract. These specifications describe different attributes and should not be treated as interchangeable.

The extract is typically handled as a dry botanical ingredient. Color, taste, powder flow, dispersibility, and sedimentation can be influenced by extract concentration and processing. Dry blends require attention to distribution and flow, while liquid systems should be evaluated for wetting, haze, sedimentation, and sensory impact.

Application Areas

Dietary Supplements

Used in concentrated botanical formulations where formulators require identifiable Paeonia lactiflora root extract, controlled marker content, or a defined botanical concentration.

Multi-Botanical Formulas

Suitable for multi-ingredient botanical systems where white peony contributes a defined botanical identity or marker-controlled extract component alongside other herbal ingredients.

Capsules, Tablets & Powder Blends

The powdered format supports capsule filling, tablet blends, sachets, and other dry systems where premixing, powder flow, particle distribution, and blend uniformity affect processing.

Cosmetics & Personal Care

PAEONIA LACTIFLORA ROOT EXTRACT is used in selected cosmetic and personal-care formulations. Development should consider extract color, dispersion, compatibility, and visual impact in the finished system.

Marker Compounds & Extract Profile

White peony root is characterized by monoterpene glycosides, with paeoniflorin serving as the principal commercial analytical marker. Albiflorin and benzoylpaeoniflorin are also important components of the broader botanical fingerprint and help distinguish the extract from materials described only by generic phytochemical categories.

HPLC quantification of paeoniflorin provides a defined analytical basis for comparing standardized extracts and controlling marker concentration in specification-driven formulations. This analytical approach adds information beyond botanical identity alone.

A complete white peony root extract remains a multi-component botanical ingredient. It should not be confused with highly purified paeoniflorin, which represents a separate phytochemical product with a substantially narrower chemical composition and different sourcing logic.

Technical & Quality Considerations

Analytical evaluation should separate botanical authentication, marker assay, and extract-ratio documentation because each answers a different quality question. Authentication establishes Paeonia lactiflora root identity, while chromatographic marker analysis supports standardized-grade control. This distinction also helps prevent confusion with red peony root, tree peony bark, or purified paeoniflorin ingredients.

Physical performance depends on extract composition and processing. Botanical solids can influence powder color, taste, flow, wetting, aqueous dispersion, haze, and sedimentation. The behavior of an individual paeoniflorin reference compound should not be used to predict the solubility or dispersion characteristics of the complete botanical extract.

For dry-product scale-up, R&D should evaluate premixing, blend uniformity, flow, capsule filling, and tablet compression at the intended inclusion level. Liquid formulations require evaluation of wetting, dispersion, clarity, sedimentation, pH compatibility, and sensory impact. Cosmetic development should additionally assess color contribution and compatibility with the complete water, humectant, surfactant, or emulsion system.
