Peony
But where does this lovely flower come from?
The officinal Peony, with its Latin name ‘Paeonia officinalis’, is a herbaceous plant from the Paeoniaceae family. The officinal peony is native to Southern Europe, where it still grows wild. It can be found in France, Romania, Albania, Greece, Yugoslavia, and Asia Minor. Initially cultivated for its medicinal properties, it was not until the Song dynasty (960 – 1279) that the ‘thousand-petal flower’ was recognized and used for its beauty…
And why is it good for our skin?
The officinal peony has soothing properties. Its extract can also be incorporated into products for the body, hands, and hair.
Our difference: a 100% natural extract!
Extraction is done by macerating the plants in an exclusively natural solvent. A concentration step by vacuum evaporation then removes these solvents. The extracts obtained are then dried by zeodration, an innovative drying technology that does not denature the active ingredients, then solubilized in a vegetable glycerin base. The extract is then titrated to guarantee the plant’s activity in active molecules.
And how do we guarantee its effectiveness?
Titration makes it possible to determine the concentration of a chemical species in solution, in order to guarantee the activity of the molecules during extraction.
It’s simply a measuring technique!
